Well for one you no longer need to use macOS… which is a bonus in some folks mind.

  Yeah, this really. I've no idea why someone wouldn't consider choice of OS to be a net positive for everyone. Only thing stopping me getting one of these (through work) is the OS.

    Why give your money to a manufacturer who explicitly wants you to run MacOS on their hardware, and not to its Linux-friendlier competitors?
    • dimgl 5y ago
      Because the hardware is actually good?
    • Underphil 5y ago
      Because I like the hardware but despise the software. I haven't found another laptop that comes close, although I don't have the money to try many. Not only that, but in the F500 companies I've worked for it's not uncommon for employees to get the latest shiny new thing when their existing machine still has lots of life left. Repurposing it with Linux means I can use it.

      Because there is no comparable hardware to be had for any amount of money anywhere.
