Yeah I don't expect there are many tech employees working with Windows Thinkpads.

I worked for one of the biggest tech companies in the UK, we used Thinkpads for our dev work. They're solid machines with good specs and excellent warranties. Big companies love them.

I've worked for tech companies in SV and I've never seen a developer without a MacBook.

The X1 Carbon is one of the best developer laptops there is, but I would never tarnish one with Windows
