What is the best windows laptop

[AION]

I had my macbook pro for a month but I´m returning it. It is crap and totally not worth the hype if you are an IT guy. What is the best windows laptop. I´m not going to game on it. Just do work.

I use a Lenovo X1 carbon professional.

Hasn't skipped a beat in 2 years. 

Use it for AutoCAD, Bluebeam, Revit, email, conference calls (zoom, teams) + ten million horrible .pdf files for plansets that typically kill a laptop. Also run a few AI recording apps that compile meeting minutes etc.

What will you use it for? And what was your main issue with the apple laptop?

The xps lineup is sick. Other options are the lenovo lineup of think pads, the razer blade series and this one caught my attention recently:

I like long battery life in my tech. I am chronically online.

@Natasha Tori Maru  I will use it for porn 😁 j/k, I will use it for light programming, studying, etc because I already have my desktop PC for heavy models that rip through everything. I was already thinking about thinkpad because I like the build quality. Macbooks are good in terms of build quality but I don't like the OS. I use microsoft apps a lot and they are not native and riddled with bugs and lags on the macbook.

@AION yeah similar reason for me going for the X1.

The only drawback is the fucken matte black finish. Maybe I'm just a grubby bitch, but holy mother of god the fingerprints. God help you if you have ANY grease on your hands. 

I liked the MacBook pro but I need Windows apps a lot. And I prefer windows OS as well. 

It's light enough for me to ride to work with it in a backpack fwiw

I had a P series of the thinkpad and those are military grade. I think I will go back to that one. It is fingerprint sensitive but you just need to keep your hands clean.

@AION sweet let us know how the p series goes. Lenovo have done me solid for a few goes now. I didn't know they used to be IBM until recently. The X1 I can vouch for. I only recommend shit I have used myself.

I've had turd results from Dell (srsly fuck that proprietary power supply plug) , HP and Acer on the laptop front. Never tried Asus etc.

Do you use an iPhone? That might be another deciding factor for MacBook due to the ecosystem cohesion. But again if you are anything like me fuck apple and fuck iOS lol. Even though I can admit they make good products.
