First, there's the principle of not giving Apple any more money!
Second, Apple's laptops don't have any form of docking so using them in the office is rather cumbersome.
- Osiris 13y agoI have a third party dock for my late 2011 MBP and OS X always gets confused when I dock and undock when it's sleeping. It doesn't always detect my monitors (DVI and USB), sometimes the keyboard doesn't wake it up, sometimes it just crashes a black screen. So while the dock itself works pretty well, OS X doesn't feel like it's well tested in that type of scenario.
- Shivetya 13y agoApple's emphasis on how it looks over function has always been a double edge sword. The lack of docking station, from both the hardware and software side, was the second most constant push back I received when asking about swapping the Dells out. With TB ports and the like it could have been worked out to one cable instead of an edge connector, yet they seem to have zero interest in the business. I have run Windows 7 even as primary at times but in the end went back to a Dell for work put an iMac back on my home desktop.
