Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 Moving into General Availability

Since you did not specify a laptop, you can plug in any arbitrary USB HID to desktop Mac. (MacBooks too - though I'm sure this isn't what you meant.)

Most people choose their laptops based on the OS, not on the pointing device.

There are about 5000 of us who did choose a laptop for its keyboard and pointer: it's the ThinkPad 25 Anniversary Edition. I have an SK-8855 already and also ordered the new TEX Shinobi so my unwavering stance on my laptop needing a proper keyboard+pointer might change but for now my choice of weapon is the TP25.

Unfortunately I missed that.

However my T420 and X220 still perform excellently even after 9 years.

I also have a T420 and a T420s , the latter hacked to full HD, yes. :)

That’s an interesting claim to make, considering how many people love the Mac’s trackpad and non-butterfly keyboard.
