Working remotely doesn’t always mean working from home. Perfect location to endure the heatwave without having to use air conditioning. #remotework

How have you not been driven mad by the reflections?

Honestly I just don't notice them at all. You can see them if you look for them. I look "through" the screen at the text behind it and they don't bother me at all.

I find reflective screens to be massively worse than matte ones -- Every time my eyes relax, all I see are the reflections.

Initially I was looking at some second hand Thinkpads but I was discouraged by the random quality of the units I looked at and at the truly horrible TN panels they still use. I almost got a X390 but then it was out of stock and I'd have to wait longer than I could.

Aah I also don't buy second hand. I buy a laptop to last four or five years when I buy :D I wouldn't use a macbook if you tried to pay me :D

Second hand has tremendous value. Macbooks have lots of utility in what I do (running desktop Linux VMs that I consistently failed to reproduce on all other systems, maybe outside of Windows where minor annoyances were just too big.

But by the time you've added an external keyboard, external mouse, external monitor, etc. you may as well have bought a desktop. (Note, I *hate* the input and output surfaces of macbooks)
