Sure, I prefer the design of the MacBook, but my Thinkpad is near bulletproof as well. And in this case, the OLED screen is going to be similar in quality to the MBP, except refresh rate.
Where Apple to me is really falling behind is included SSD. There is zero reason a $2000 laptop only has 512GB and it's $200 more to upgrade.
Not to mention all the additional nuisances that MacOS has and the walled garden. I bought mine used for $1200 1.5 years ago, but there's no way I'd spend $1600-2k new on them when machines like this exist.

There are cons/quirks. Sometimes will not wake up from sleep. HDMI port not secure and disconnects with slight cable movement. The most annoying is unreliable trackpad responses (single finger regular movements goes wonkers and becomes multi-finger). Found out not good for video editing. That is, no hardware acceleration so for Handbrake or DaVinci Resolve is slow.

You want IPS for productivity/desktop-work, OLED strengths are wasted on it. Text is usually crisper on IPS
I've had this crap laptop for a year - never again would get one with soldered wifi.

That one is only $709 but 14" and 32GB ram and non OLED screen. I was really wanting 15"+ so I could work more efficiently on it and the 64GB ram vs 32GB, 3840 x 2400 res on this vs the 1920 x 1200 on the 14" and 86Wh battery vs 52.5Wh battery on the 14" sealed the deal. I think the screen size and res, battery, and 32GB extra ram (though its soldered on this model but at 64GB who cares) makes it worth $320 more than the other deal.
The only thing that would have made this perfect is a touch screen but other than that for those shopping for a ThinkPad at this size this is a killer deal. This will be an upgrade from a 2016 13" Dell XPS 13 for me with only 8GB ram so this will be an insane upgrade and actually allow me to work remote comfortably!
