I understand that the macbook pro is not perfect. Personally, I hate the touchbar.
The build quality, dev environment, multiple desktops are all critical to me being productive.
I've been using all three major OSs for years and I feel the most productive on the mac and I feel like the UX is the best.
I've been investigating other comparable laptops on the market in an attempt to "see what else is out there" because there are some things I don't like about the macbook pro direction (touchbar gimmick).
All of this is leading into my question: What laptop competes with the macbook pro in terms of build quality (i feel like I'm holding a hunk of metal and it's really satisfying), screen (1880p), trackpad, keyboard, and battery life?
Not to mention on top of all of that I get facetime and imessage which integrates with my phone. My laptop automatically unlocks because I have the apple watch.
I have an open mind and would love a linux laptop, but it really feels like nothing even comes close in comparison.
