Five years ago, I was a big proponent of Macs (not iOS devices). Obviously Linux had its uses, and Windows had, um, games, but Apple's precision-engineered combination of hardware and software was really hard to beat for day-to-day use. I won't be buying another Mac. Both OS X and MacBook design get worse with each new release, for years. They don't care about anything but iOS anymore--the Mac line is treated as a semi-portable accessory for your iPhone.
