I've just switched from a MacBook Pro 2011 15" to a Thinkpad X1 Extreme 15". I've been putting off making a decision for quite a while, hoping Apple would sort out the horrifying keyboard issues.

The difference in price between macs and windows back in 2011 wasn't as great as it is now and that really made my toes curl when I spec'd out the next machine. I've 32GB of memory in the X1 and I can boost that later to 64GB which, as a software developer, lets me run a lot of VMs and Docker containers. The trackpad may be no match but the keyboard is much better. The X1 is really quite sleek so I don't feel I'm losing too much of the great Apple design aesthetic.

I'd still prefer a mac but right now I can't wait around for them to sort out their issues.
