Ask HN: What Computer?
My company has everyone use MacBook Pros and I’m curious what you use, both personal as well as if your company has a go to machine?
- BlameKaneda 6y agoPersonal - Custom-build PC Personal - 2011 Macbook Pro (fitted with a SSD [OS location] and 16GB of RAM). The upgrades have helped it immensely. Work - Dell laptop I can't see myself using the Macbook often in the near future, and when I eventually leave my job I'm considering getting a Windows laptop of my own. The one I use for work is about $2k (thoughts about buying it from them dissipated), but my SO got a high performing one for about $600 that I'd consider.
- byoung2 6y agoMy current company issues MacBook Pros to everyone. The previous company did the same. I use dual boot Windows/Ubuntu at home

- madhadron 6y agoI have a 2019 MacBook Pro, which is my fourth Mac laptop going back to a 2001 PowerBook G4. I think about changing platforms, but OmniFocus has me locked in.
- simonblack 6y agoI've taken to buying Lenovos. Laptop P53, replacing the previous 10-year-old T410, Desktop M93P. I usually specify Intel peripheral chips as these seem to have the best compatibility with Linux. They work well and work consistently longer. I suppose you could say my motto with my computers as well as with my cars is "Buy twice as good and buy half as often" or looked at in another way "If it works, don't fix it."
