-All the important pieces at least for my work are together for use at work: encrypted disk, openvpn access, wlan/ethernet, access to mail, video conferences. One convenience piece is missing: monitor output via USB-C or hdmi, with that I could use a screen at the office instead of sitting "head down" all day, watching the smaller monitor+All the important pieces at least for my work are together for use at work: encrypted disk, openvpn access, wlan/ethernet, access to mail, video conferences.
  
-The Macbook hardware is quite nice, the screen has nice colours, compared to my Thinkpad T590. Performance Co-Pilot compiles in under 6min. For replicating customer issues, only rhel9 (or Fedora) can be run with virtualization, for older rhel8/rhel7 one would need emulation (not yet tried). Battery life time is great. When research into driver progresses, the cpus get better usable for AI computations, that might also get interesting. The keyboard + touchpad need to get used to.. external keyboard + mouse is an option.+The Macbook hardware is quite nice, the screen has nice colours, compared to my Thinkpad T590.
