This may be a bit off topic, forgive me. Last spring my laptop running linux finally gave up and I decided to give the MBP a try. The pros: - MUCH better hardware than anything else on the market. - The keyboard is great for me. Leaving mech keys on desktop doesn't feel as bad as it used to. I haven't encountered any inconsistency this article complains about with so many words--maybe I'm an outlier. - MacOS requires just about zero maintenance. - Better consumer software (DRM) compatibility (audible, hbogo, etc). - Better creative software compatibility. - The OS is pretty well tuned for battery life (I'm sure linux can be, I just didn't expend the effort). The cons: - Much more difficult to customize. I do miss just how tuned I got my linux setup with a tiling WM (i3). I haven't lost significant productivity though. - Brew is not a first class package manager. Pacman/AUR and apt are a dream for developers. - Boot time is noticeably slower. At least it don't drop you into the OS with about 1,000 other processes in the scheduler like windows does. This list is not exhaustive. But I'd not feel bad saying that the MBP is the best laptop experience. On a side note I also switched to iOS from android and am similarly satisfied. For a no fuss, non free eco-system apple is still king despite any recent stumbles.
