Switching OS is not an easy task. I'd say go for an MBP only if you have a lot of passion to play with OS X.
If you don't like the Apple OS, you have the option to use an MBP as a native Windows laptop.
IMHO in the last few years HP, Lenovo and especially Dell have caught up and overtaken Apple laptops. I'd recommend you buy a Dell with high resolution screen (from Full HD to 4k), upgradable components - RAM, PCIe disk, WiFi module, LTE module, and extended battery. For the price of MBP you'll get more memory, more disk and the option to upgrade down the line.
The Bash/Ubuntu/Windows Subsystem for Linux has pretty good Unix CLI on Win 10.
In the end both Win and Mac suck, go for Linux or BSD :)
- martin_a 10y agoI´m open to learn anything new, so Mac OS is just another step of learning something. Nevertheless I will have a look into the Dell options, I heard they are building great laptops, too. (Pure Linux/BSD is the next step, once Adobe has ported its CC to Linux... ;-D)
