As a consultant, I'm seeing an epidemic: Companies are wasting millions by giving developers slow laptops.

My laptop: 10 seconds. 
Their laptop: 3+ minutes. 
Why? Weak processors, little RAM, platter drives, and slow security scanners.

I don't like to set the precedent that I will supply my own tools. If I use my personal laptop, do I have to pay for the software I need? Do I use my personal credit card to set up the elasticsearch instance on AWS to build my POC?

What's the best laptop for coding and software developments?

I really enjoy my MacBook Pro 16". But it's admittedly overpriced. The Lenovo machines are quite nice and far cheaper.
