Looking to upgrade from an old Latitude, curious as to what mobile hardware you folks use for writing your open source projects?

I just got a Lenovo Yoga 9i and am pretty happy with it. It has a really nice display and wanted to experiment with a convertible as I occasionally wished I had a tablet but wouldn't use it enough to justify it. Having a laptop that can double as a tablet was attractive.

Random notes:

Fingerprint reader doesn't work.
There is a sysfs file to set an 80% charging limit which is nice.
WiFi often seems slow and the signal strength is reported as low. I suspect this is poor AP selection as it seems to connect to a further AP in my house rather than the closer one.
