Tell HN: The ThinkPad X1 Carbon is an excellent MacBook replacement
Honestly, the X1 Carbon is a nice laptop. And even if you don&#x27;t want to run Linux as your main OS, Windows 11 really isn&#x27;t bad. With WSL2, you can use have all of the benefits of Linux for development while being able to run whatever Windows apps you want, and it really was pretty easy to setup. You can even run VS Code on Windows and edit files in your Linux container. I had a period last year and this year where I was consulting, and used my Ryzen Desktop as my main work machine.<p>If I were looking to use something other than Macs (which I&#x27;m not), there are more good options now than there have ever been. Even though everything is still compared to the benchmark of Mac Laptops, which isn&#x27;t an accident.
