We still figuring things out, but potentially we’ll get taxi from Exchange hotel around 2pm. I’ll post update by noon i guess.

Looking for a ride share. It is two of us.

Can anyone say anything about surface book 2? Went to BestBuy and liked its touchpad.

@ZM Fong is it bad like Louis Rossmann about macs bad? Or just bad?

@DarkEnergyI looked through xps 15 configurator, and you can build pretty sweet configuration there. But there are questions that they are not answering like what kind of battery life it will have and will it overheat on compilation of big project. Also I read that Thinkpad touch-pads are awful.

I know this question was asked million times on this forum but couldn't find anything that would cover my case. I've been something like 10 years on mac, and now I need to upgrade to one for work, and touch-bar macs are awful. If I'm not gonna find anything I probably gonna go with Macbook pro Silver, even though they asking $2200 for 2 years old CPU. Need something that will feel as much as possible to mac. Touch pad — very important, I don't use mouse and very get used to do everything on it. Keyboard — somewhat important. I get used to mac keyboard (not the latest crap, late 2008 -> late 2013). GPU doesn't matter (not for gaming), would even preferred integrated to save battery. Though eGPU ability (read thunderbolt 3) would be plus. Long battery life (6h min) 16/32GB of memory Good CPU (4 cores minimum) Size 13"/15", Lighter — better Some kind of support for Linux Budget: 15" Macbook Pro Touch bar with CPU upgrade ($2900), maybe more if it is worth it. I'm gonna be using it around 8-10 hours a day, so the quality should be good enough to handle that. Also I would really want to hear from people who did similar migration.
