I've used a Mac since the IIGS. This year I bought my first non-Mac (a desktop) in a long time. Now I am looking at a laptop. I don't think I'll ever own a Mac again because of this, plus all the other semi-recent things (I need to have a developer license to write software for an OS built on BSD, what I perceive as deteriorating quality, low-value features such as the touch bar, Mac OS becoming more and more IOS like, and more).
My new go-to for dev laptops is a System 76 machine [1]. I am unaffiliated with System 76 in any way.

- mrunkel 7y agoYou don't need a developer license to write software on OS X.
- heavyset_go 7y agoYou do if you want to release it and have your users be able to use it without being warned that your product is insecure.
- Crinus 7y agoConsidering they have their own hardware and software (well, not exactly their own, but they customize both and work on both before release), is System 76 as problem-free and solid as Mac OS X was during the Snow Leopard times?
- pram 7y agoI see this trotted out every time someones mad with Apple. JFYI System 76 are just rebadged Clevo/Sager. Save yourself some money lol https://www.sagernotebook.com/Notebook-NP8454.html https://www.sagernotebook.com/Notebook-NP8454.html
