At home I develop my hobby project on a gen4 ThinkPad X1 Carbon running Fedora. The specs are:

  • Intel Core i7-6600U
  • 14,0 WQHD (2 560 × 1 440) IPS ingen styrplatta
  • 16GB LPDDR3 SDRAM
  • Intel HD Graphics 520
  • 512 GB SSD

I picked the Carbon for its weight (coming from MacBook Air). I think the Carbon will last me for a few more years at least, but when it IS time to move on I think I'll go for a slightly more upgrade-able ThinkPad. The non-Ultrabook weights are getting low enough for me to still feel comfortable dragging it around everywhere.

At work we have much more beefy Windows PCs.
