Devil's advocate, but it can't if it's in Starbucks ;)
There's far cheaper workstations out there than Macbooks, especially if you're running Linux on them.
- senko 1y agoI ain't lugging that setup around :) I have a VPN so all its resources are available in a Starbucks via ssh and/or RDP. This one was a custom build with maxed ram, heaps of storage, a modest Nvidia card with as much VRAM as possible without breaking the bank, etc.. stuff I personally needed. A cheap workstation (or a much more expensive Mac) won't have that exact combo. So aside from ergonomics, it's also customizability to my idiosyncratic wants and needs.
