The new MacBook Pros with T2 chips do indeed kernel panic randomly

Luckily, Skype is nothing I need to use. However, I would miss applications, namely Sketch. And I’d need to run Windows in a VM.

I am also not sure about the build quality. Despite the keyboard, MacBooks are very well designed and built devices.

They are. But so are a few PC lines. For my money, the ThinkPad T480 hits the sweet spot--the keyboard is reminiscent of the older rMBPs (but a little more throw, it seems), with a good-enough touchpad and enough battery life to last basically as long as I could ever see needing it.

(I'm not a fan of the XPS 13 or 15; the keyboard is a little clicky and the touchpad is not good.)

I have last years T470P (the i7-7700HQ/2560x1440@14" model) and it's phenomenally good with 32GB of RAM and an m2 SSD it screams, enough that I delayed my new development desktop at home from July last year til Ryzen 2 next year.

So are Thinkpads, Elitebooks, Probooks, Latitudes and Precisions.
