I’ve been using Macs at work for years, even though I’d much rather use a Linux box. The main reasons I keep going with the Mac: is that I like to connect two monitors up while I’m at work, and then I’d also like the machine not to look too dated. Most of the more finely tuned Linux options just don’t look done (System76). So I’ve been aggressively trying to find a laptop that will compete with a MacBook Pro 15; ideally comes with two video ports. The standouts: ThinkPad X1 Carbon V4 [1] and Dell’s Precision M5510 [2]. Anyone have experience running either of these boxes connected to two monitors, or can suggest a better option?<p>[1] http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/thinkpad/x-series/x1-carbon-4<p>[2] http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/precision-m5510-workstation/pd
I have a ThinkPad X1 Carbon gen4 running Fedora and am very happy with it. I switched from years of using MacBook Airs as my primary laptop.
