[olug] [omaha] Laptop Recommendations

[Dave Weis]

My machine for the last 6 months is a T420s and I've been really happy with it. Had been a Dell user forever prior to this. Built very solid and the keyboard is a good size to touch type.

We use t420's or whatevers the latest t4 from lenovo at the office.  I'm sitll on a 2 & 1/2 year old T400 going solid, and its been dropped, punted, beer spilled on etc.

I like it and it works well and reliably.  Alternately you could get an non-retina display MBP and cram linux onto it. We use those aswell (with macos though, not linux) and they're durable/reliable aswell.
