Might get a thinkpad. Need suggestions.
for durability and a sim card slot look at t480 or x1 carbon gen 6. both have a wwan slot where you put the sim. the t480 is tankier and easier to fix. for slime rancher you need at least an 8th gen intel with uhd 620 graphics - that runs it at low settings 30fps. grab a refurbished t480 on ebay wit

ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 6: I never thought it's so good
Ah.. that is a shame. Been with the Gen 10 for 3 years since buying it new. Has the i7-1280p proc. Overheats constantly, has cooked one battery already and the 2nd battery is also ready to be replaced as it holds about an hour charge. I've had the proc repasted 4 times under warranty. The KB is not

Which ThinkPad is better to choose?
If the graphics card isn't mandatory try to find a good condition X1 carbon (Gen 6 or newer) for that price. You'll appreciate build quality and premium feel.

Which one would you choose and why? MacBook Pro 14 vs Thinkpad X1 Carbon
X1 Carbon. I currently have an X1 Carbon Gen 6, and I've grown pretty fond of the great keyboard and lightness. and durability, it's been through a lot. battery life on mine has been pretty good. aesthetically, I also like the Thinkpad better.

Thinkpad for linux
ThinkPad T480 or T480s (2018) stands out as one of the best options in your budget.

Why the T480/T480s? Linux compat

Why did you switch from a MacBook to a ThinkPad?
I didn't fully switched. I bought X1 Carbon Gen 6 as a backup notebook for my bike rides. Guess what, I am 2 weeks away from my home office and I took X1, my MacBook Air is at home. Primarily I use MacBook, I have an iPhone, and I love MacOS integration with iPhone, from scaning documents, to having

Looking to dip my toes into linux
