As a counterpoint, I have a lenovo p50 and I couldn't possibly be happier. I'm frequently developing on a Scala backend with a mobile frontend. If you don't want memory pressure, 16GB just won't do it, but my 64GB does phenomenally.

And since I'm often working in Kenya it can be quite difficult to get service for Apple, having parts I can switch out with a screwdriver is a huge blessing. And it's stupidly tough, I've fallen directly on it and it's survived in the past.
