Oh, I forgot Fi would send us this, thanks! > I think MBP's build quality is nicer but otherwise I get twice the machine for the same price and get to develop on the same OS as my project primarily targets (Linux). I just looked at the X1 carbon specs and my 3 year old MacBook Air is faster than the base model carbon and I spent about the same amount of money. The build quality is huge for me as I spend 50+ hours a week directly-on or with peripherals cabled to my laptop. If I wanted, I could install a Linux on it, but really, OS X just works without having to fuss with it (e.g. trying to get the touchpad feel anywhere near as nice). As for writing Go, isn't cross-compilation pretty good? I spend most of my time writing in VHLLs (js, python, etc) and OS X is (still, even after some iOS-direction changes) quite good as a dev environment -- spinning up a VM for when I need to compile something lower-level and test on a target OS is trivial.
