Why Choose MacBook?

Question

macbook

Good afternoon. I would like to know why often developers, not taking into account iOS and MacOS developers, choose MacBook laptops, while working a lot with Linux systems in terms of development? There are laptops certified for Ubuntu, like HP Elitebook, Lenovo Thinkpad, Dell XPS.
Why is the MacBook better in this matter in your opinion?

Answer 1

because everything (keyboard/touch-track-pad/screen/battery/body) is better than the vast majority of other laptops.
plus makos.
this is common for both intel-books and arm-books.
for arm-books, a separate plus is the presence of an awesome processor, the analogue of which for other beeches simply does not exist yet.

while working a lot with Linux systems in terms of development

this much work usually happens either remotely or in a virtual machine.
and here I don’t care what system is at home. Makos current is more convenient for the user.
Dmitry ,

Excuse me for breaking in, can you tell me how to raise TM on Linux?

yes, almost any mana on netatalk (which is an open analog of afp) contains a clause about creating balls for time machines.
although they differ for different systems.
in recent releases, this is really a few lines in the config.
if you don’t figure it out yourself, write here specific questions with specific configs.

Answer 2

As the owner is forced precisely for the purpose of development, the pluses will be described without me, but there are minuses:
all convenience ends, how to get out of the apple ecosystem, even download photos from android via cable, you already need separate software.
It works well only with my equipment, so my hdmi monitor falls off (I checked different monitors connected via hdmi on different poppies), the bluetooth keyboard (not poppy) falls off, the f3 hotkey falls off if I run several studios (it works without problems on my native keyboard), mouse is buggy (buttons change places). If you remember, there are a lot of lies.
If a housewife buys a poppy, she will probably be glad if there are enough problems for work

Answer 3

Why is the MacBook better in this matter in your opinion?

1. Mechanics. Housing, keyboard, display, touchpad
2. Iron. M1 is a very cool processor.
3. Ergonomics of OSX - Ubuntu is still not very convenient for work.

Answer 4

There are people who choose a beautiful font style for themselves, and thrive on it, and are willing to pay.
And there are people whose letter A is capital and small, most importantly distinguishable.
Basically a matter of habit and taste.

Answer 5

The laptop is 7 years old (air 13"). For all the time, the only cant is a battered battery (since the age of 17 I have been using it exclusively from the wire and the battery has almost died from that). The first 2 years of use was enough for 12 hours I needed a "power-saving" mode that turned the laptop into a log.) Well, my favorite bonus is that the laptop does not miss the table while you are typing (and I saw such a chip on Lenovo for 45k.
In October, the update will arrive as usual and without any fall-offs of which Now laptops
on M1 are generally fat

Although, of course, the devil is in the details. The force of habit is an incredible thing.
