Ask HN: M1 MacBook Pro or Lenovo X1 Carbon with Ubuntu

I'll first check out M1 compatibility for the tools you are using. And then assess the benefits of getting an M1 Macbook Pro (mostly on performance side I think) against a Ubuntu Lenovo (more tools and less expensive).

I myself is using a Macbook Pro 2017 for developing data (some ETL and lots of queries). I don't think it beats the original Carbon X1 I used (but not with Linux, with Windows) but I can't complain since it's a company laptop. I have one serious issue with the Carbon though is that the battery got bloated just after 18 months of usage.

Thank's for the info with the Carbon battery, I had hoped they are more solid... M1 compatibility is ok for the most things I guess, according to https://isapplesiliconready.com Not sure if it is really more performant though for what I will use it for.
