I bought an 4K display Oryx Pro last fall and love it. The 1070 GPU let's me do ML locally.
But, it is large and heavy. I find myself grabbing my MacBook when I am on the move. I would like to replace the MacBook with a very light weight Linux laptop, sometime.
I have an Oryx Pro as well. When I don’t need the power, I find myself grabbing my iPad with “Pencil”. It’s probably a function of what I do. When I’m not coding or playing a game, I’m reading papers and writing math.
When I’m on the go, I’m not looking to do the kinds of things I do at work.

I typically use my google pixelbook recently since it lets you run a containerized linux in a secure OS but I get it if that's not your thing.
- System76 laptops are generally well reviewed. The Oryx Pro looks nice
- I had a Dell XPS15 and hated everything about it for some reason, but
- I have a Dell XPS13 and I absolutely LOVE it, so that that for what its worth
FWIW, Dell's XPSes are supposed to get an OLED screen shortly: https://www.engadget.com/2019/01/08/dell-4k-oled-xps-alienwa.... May not be valuable to everyone, but it's likely valuable to some people.

Likewise with me. The iPad is a great device for non-programming activities.
