Why you ditched MacBook and went for KDE neon would be a nicer post than a link to KDE.org. I believe giving your reasons will educate the readers and see your perspective.

Actually, I did the same (without having a MacBook on advance). The X1 can easily have a similar price tag (I paid 2400€ for 1TB,16GB,i7,X1 yoga). And the hardware is of similar quality.

How's your KDE neon experience been so far?

I'm just using KDE (Plasma) on ordinary Ubuntu, having the kubuntu-desktop package installed for getting KDE-related system tools.

It really works great out of the box. Every hardware feature is covered, even plugging in the notebook into the docking station and seamlessly switching to a multi-monitor setup.
