Making Bluetooth Work on Lenovo X1 Carbon 6th Gen with Linux

So you end up with an overpriced used Macbook Pro 2015 (looking at eBay) that is comparable to a Thinkpad T440 or W540?

Why would anyone pay 3x to 4x for a device that is a PITA to get most common Linux distros onto, and is challenging to repair? I don't see the value provided, even comparing weight and dimensions...

I have a t440, the weight of the mbp is not comparable. It's more like a carbon and there's huge advantage to being able to move easily without a heavy laptop.

Note that OP was referring to a 2015 MBP, before they seriously thinned the laptop.

I got both for free from my office. I could choose any laptop I want basically, and yes, I do prefer Macbook Pro over Thinkpad.
