To be fair, a MacBook pro is the highest end premium product in this space being used with official software for a well-defined industry use case.

That's hardly the same thing as a bunch of developers installing an aftermarket OS on a midrange laptop. And even then, "you have to install a BIOS update" is just shorthand for Lenovo fixed the problem, right?

> Midrange laptop

I mean, a topped out x1 carbon is pretty much the non-macbook business laptop, so this is a bit unfair.

People have a special affection to soldered-on memory that tops out at 16GB?

I think this is a good point against calling a computer professional device in 2019 - or was "business" meant from a pure quality/design /luxury perspective?

I know we aren't talking about servers but not-self-serviceable hardware with strict limits is what I usually associate with mid-range, not professional users, not even prosumers.

That laptop costs around 2000€ though. The price itself is enterprise-level indeed.

Not much different from having to install brew to get usably recent versions of basic developer utilities on macOS or installing WSL on Windows. Atleast with the Thinkpad I still have my arm and leg to get it done and I love the keyboard.
