I am a sucker for old thinkpads, right now I am running around with a x230t that I have modded for usb C charging for some remote work stuff (when I am too bored i go on a park and work from there). I am thinking of switching to something more lightweight but because it looks like that I know that no one will ever try to steal it.

What do you daily drive for a laptop and why is that your option?
 
Using Lenovo with i7 8th gen processor.
 
I have a HP elitebook which is pretty decent but I do prefer working in the office on my desktop which is faster, bigger screen etc. laptop is reserved purely for when I’m out of the office.

older thinkpads are the way. i'm using a T470 for work and a T420 for crypto

I bought a dell latitude on the recommendation of a friend who said "thinkpads suck" but I hate it, its now being used as a $1000 video streaming box.
 
NEVER use any laptop, I am a desktop kind of guy!
i do 90% of my work from my desktop, laptop is when I am on my GF house/vacation/just too bored to work from home that day. The only problem I can find with working from a laptop is the keyboard but lenovo was doing gods work some years ago on their keyboard so I am actually happy with what I got.

My first laptop was a thinkpad SL510, fell in love with the nipple and the keyboard, after that every other laptop I got my hands on it was not on the same standard with that machine(and it was a cheap laptop). It is still operational running Linux, wish I could say the same for laptops from other manufactures from that age. If only i could get a t60 with some modern specs for that sweet 4:3 aspect ration. A man can only dream.

What does your desktop setup look like? Specs?
 
Asus vivobook but it get more hot in summer
 
Thinkpad T540P is the best purchase I've made, she lasted years. Moved on to a Huawei Matebook D14 recently.

Battery life is an issue, performance gives an explanation to that.
 
I personally use ASUS N...I don't remember exactly. The most important thing for me is an ability to install additional RAM and SSDs instead of dvd rom. Removable battery is a good option as well.
Unfortunately most laptop manufacturers don't support most of the options I mentioned at the moment.
I have been eyeing the framework laptop, it does look interesting to some degree, it reminded me "phonebloks" being able to switch the ports and adding some extra storage with a simple move. definitely I would be buying one if they can keep their company going on in some years.
 
I have a Surface Laptop Go. My aunt gifted it to me. It's compact and has a sleek look, love using it.

I had no clue that Microsoft made laptops before I got this.
 
I will be buying Reliance JioBook in India when its released. I use Jiophone but battery is a issue.
 
I travel 2x a month and use my Macbook then. I also use my Macbook for Zoom but I have a pretty beast of a desktop that I built I do most my work on.
