Out of curiosity what made you leave Apple (or consider it)?
This is coming from a former die-hard MS guy turned Apple fan boy. It's like Apple took what I love (*nix) and just made the best desktop experience for it. Yeah, I hate the prices but even the hardware is unbeatable--what I've seen so far that is.
However, I'll always still be searching for a true Linux desktop OS and appropriate hardware for it that doesn't feel like it will break if I carry it around with one hand while open.
- sippndipp 13y agoI always had trouble with their hardware. Random crashes and they needed two repairs until they changed it. Mavericks seems to be very buggy and I have to consolidate my whole dev environment again. Would like to switch to a real Linux (Ubuntu / Debian). I don't want the Retina stuff since for such a high resolution the devices are underpowered.
- pasbesoin 13y agoApple seemed to be a primary brand in promoting the "giant shelf" of a palm rest, combined with a sharp front edge. I find this extremely uncomfortable, especially when working on a surface I can't adjust to optimum height. For example, at a conference table, many cafe tables, and the like, the laptop is "too high" and that front edge -- so far from the keyboard -- presses into my bent wrists. Ugh.
