TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
It's too bad that they didn't include the PC workhorse, Dell Latitude, in
your selection.
If the company is paying for it, then go with your gut.

Subject: Laptop recommendation
A good problem: I'm starting a new job on Monday and I need to choose which
laptop to use. The choice is between:
- 13" Macbook Air
- 13" Macbook Pro Retina
- Lenovo ThinkPad T440p
- Lenovo ThinkPad T540
All of their documentation is currently in Markdown in various GitHub
repositories. Presumably, we'll need some other tools at some point (maybe
Confluence?) but not for a while probably.
I'd personally--strongly--prefer a Macbook.
Thoughts?
