I have $$$ but no free time. I see a lot of others in this situation now: e.g. older, senior devs with money to spend but no time. I need to get a laptop that "just works". I'm strongly considering getting a maxxed-out MacBook Pro 13" for $2,400.
So those are my needs, and the competition.
But it seems like every offering is flawed at the moment: XPS 13 - coil whine, System 76 - crappy hardware, you name it. If money is no object, what's the Linux laptop that gets closest to MacBook Pro quality?
It might be a Thinkpad X1 Carbon, but there's still the hassle of installation and tuning. Have I missed anything?
