Lenovo X1 Extreme Gen 1:

I daily drive the Lenovo X1 Extreme Gen 1. I absolutly love the power, reliability, and build quality of this machine. I have it dual booted (on two seperate drives). I run Windows 10 Pro for most of my school related work due to its compatability with many business related programs. When I’m in development mode I boot into Ubuntu so I can run a “Unix” backend.
