It took me 18 years to finally get the guts to move away from Thinkpads. I ordered the Chromebook Pixel LS and absolutely love it and sport it better than an Apple hipster in Bushwick! Only downside to me is that it lacks F11,F12 and the hdd is soldered in.
Not sure if anyone commented yet but Torvalds used a Macbook but I think since moved to some Sony VAIO if I'm not mistaken.
I also went with the hg solution to enjoy it's core large-file support but ultimately switched to git-annex so I didn't have to support and learn each technology. git-lfs looks to be good but I'm still waiting a small, standalone production-ready server implementation.
