I finally bit the bullet and got a 2018 macbook pro i7 with 1 terabyte ssd. I've been needing a personal laptop for development for awhile. I thought about going full Linux but it's tough finding Linux laptops that support thunderbolt 3 charging.

I tried to make Windows and WLS work. But it's a pain getting my Golang, GCP, and Kubernetes workflow setup on it. I keep having to jump command prompts and it annoys the shit out of me. Going multi monitor helps a lot, but I like to be at coffee shops and code.

I feel sick a out giving Apple more money especially $3,000. But it was money well spent. My workflow is seamless and unlike on my Windows laptop I dont spend 3 to 4 days just setting up my environment.

    Fuck that's a lot of money.

    Pretty sure that's more than what my car is valued at.

    To describe the scale it’s sometimes cheaper to get into plane to NY buy macbook and fly back then go to store round corner.

    @BranDev it’s pure economy, smaller market and big cost of doing business so probably they raise product prices so their final balance is 0

    @irene maybe he wants to use an external gpu. Other than that I don't see any use for it.

    Macbooks have nice build quality but for someone who has been using Linux, Mac os does feel restricting.

    @DLMousey wizard@DLMousey I'm offended by that remark lol. I don't wear skinny Jean's or wear a plaid shirt. And I'm definitely not a Rails developer. I use a statically typed language so I feel that alone keeps me out of the hipster club

    @irene I want USB charging for my laptop. Because sometimes I have to take trips to the West Coast and I can multiple portable chargers for my flights.
