I'm a big Thinkpad person, too. Had and loved the W530. Now I have and love the P50.

Here in my home office, I have three laptops within 10 feet or so of me: a late-2015 MacBook Pro, a ThinkPad T420, and a ThinkPad W530.
95% of the time I'm using the workstation on my desk but when I'm not I almost always reach for the W530. I've probably only touched the MBP three or four times in the last year or so (since I built the workstation).
I absolutely love the W530! I've had it for, I think, about 4.5 years but it still has twice as much RAM as the MBP (32 vs. 16) and a pair of Samsung 850 PRO SSDs in a ZFS mirror. It is a beast of a laptop (considering its age) and it takes a beating riding around in the saddlebag of a Harley-Davidson.
Yes! I was sad I had to leave it behind (work laptop) and actually strongly considered buying one for myself. Then I started using the P50 and honestly, if I did buy one for myself, I think it would be this one. It's essentially the W530 brought forward.
