Ask HN: If you were buying a laptop now, what would you buy, and why?

Bonus questions:

What laptop do you currently use? Which OS do you have installed? What do you use your laptop for?

Thanks!

XPS Developer Edition would be what I would buy now. I currently don't use a personal laptop (I have a couple of old ones not in as much use though), but only a Thinkpad W550s my employer provides.

I have (and love) a Thinkpad X1 Yoga, which is expensive but really nice... I run Arch linux on it....

Dell XPS 13. I like smaller laptop and this one, while being a 13'', is closer to a traditional 12''.

I had a previous edition 2/3 years ago and was happy with it. Plus it has very good support for Linux.
