So... I didn't think I'd get here but Microsoft's lack of attention and general attitude towards their own products forced my hand... I got myself a MacBook Pro. Fml, I'm subscribed to /r/apple now. How the times have changed.

I must say I'm enjoying it a lot so far.

    The only thing about MacBooks I don't like is:

    1. The keyboard (travel is too shallow IMO, makes it quite hard on my fingers)

    2. The design flaws on certain models.

     

    To be honest, I like the devices. I am not a huge fan of MacOS.. but I do understand the advantage of software+hardware together.

    @Levent I mean their "popular" moneymakers in the surface laptops and the pro tablets seem to be fine... But I got the Surface Book 2, which I think barely anyone bought. I mean I get that it's an unpopular device, but you have less devices to support than Apple, surely you could do it?

    So far I'm seem to be doing fine on OS X, but I haven't fully set up my development environment yet, as I'm waiting for an NMVe -> AppleSSD adapter to arrive so I can swap in a 1TB 970 Evo.
    Catalina's version of UAC is even more annoying than Windows'. Holy shit fuck you for forcing me to type in my 20 character password every time. Why can't I just click "yes" like I can on Windows?


    @Den-Fi Indeed. It'll take a bit of getting used to but so far I'm liking it. And if I live a device, it's imo easier to work on.

    @minibois Honestly, while (slightly?) shallower than the SB2 keyboard, it's pretty aight. Mind you, (and now I'm replying to your second point) I (on the advice of the famed Louis Rossmann) got myself an A1398 model from 2014. So still the "normal" keyboard and okay reliability. Oh, and ports, of course.

    I think I'm the opposite actually, while aesthetically macbooks are pleasing watching Rossmann kinda shuts down any nice feelings you might have towards a modern macbook. I'm more of a MacOS fan, I want things to work and look pretty while they do so.
    I'm considering building a dual-boot Hackintosh desktop now, and selling off my Pixel 2/Falster 2 watch and completely switching over to Apple. I'm liking MacOS that much.
