Looking to upgrade from an old Latitude, curious as to what mobile hardware you folks use for writing your open source projects?

ThinkPad X230 with 9 cell, 16 GB RAM, total 1TB storage, and an Atheros NIC. A bit limiting at times, but I 'outsource' heavier tasks to my much more powerful desktop. I'm quite uncompromising with laptop design and 'ergonomics', so I'm trying to piece together a custom laptop based around the Framework mainboard before the X230 no longer meets my demands.

For testing stuff on Windows and work stuff that requires it, an X1 Carbon Gen 7 with 16GB RAM and 256 GB storage.
