Macbook vs. Linux VM on a Windows Machine...I

Just randomly checking if there are any professional developers on here. 

 

I need a laptop soon, I'm willing to get a Macbook but I'm not sure if I really need it. 

 

It seems like it's worth the money if you really appriciate it but so far I haven't enjoyed the interactions I've had with one. 

 

I feel like I would rather have a VM with linux for ease of dev work as opposed to Mac. 

 

It's nice that Mac is a *nix system but I don't think it would really be worth it in the end. 

 

Nobody can touch apple on build quality but I'm not really going to keep a laptop for more than 3-4 years most likely and I take good care of my pc's.

 

thoughts?

My network engineer really likes his mac I can tell you that.  Not explicitly knowing what you are doing my first thought if you can get your work done using a VM of what I suspect is a distro you are already familiar and comfortable with why not just go that option and spend the money you are saving on higher end parts for your computer.  Besides you can probably run the Mac OS of your choice on your laptop anyway.  I do on my personal home computer (Win7/8/Ubuntu/Mountain Lion).

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      The problem is if he leaves, all of the Bryce fanboys will use it as an excuse for any regression or lack of progress that Bryce shows. Despite having an expensive OL and 2 first round picks at WR. I really would like to see the real Bryce this year before the 5th year option next spring.

      As I've said numerous times the last few days, having Thielen on the field has literally 0% to do with my views on this (I've even said I think Renfrow is going to take a ton of snaps from Thielen anyways).  He has more value to this team without playing a single snap than a 2026 5th round draft pick does for the franchise.   His value is helping set up T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Horn for long term success by helping them learn how to be pros, how to go about their business, how to train, how to do all the little things that helped turn Thielen from a D2 undrafted player into a borderline Vikings legend.
