    While I don't particularly love the new MacBook Pro, I just bought a regular MacBook with a ultradef retina external monitor and I could not be happier.

    Also, I didn't agree with the comment about no one being able to but a keyboard on an iPad Pro like device. I don't own one, but I know people who love their Surface 4s. That said, the Apple keyboard for the iPad Pro is sort of OK.

    I really enjoy my X220, however the trackpad is killing me. I know it's apparently sacrilege to use the trackpad on a Thinkpad but I do find myself using it.

    I assume this implies x86. Samsung Chromebook Plus looks like a winner to me.
