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).

      Draft Week Rumors, Leaks and Media Draftniks Final Mocks

      After watching Dan for 3 yrs now, I think I understand his plan. It’s a simple plan that should work for the long run.     I saw some of this last yr. Dan wants a vet and a young player at each position. I really think we go OT if one they like there. Moton is aging, Icky will not be back until 27, if ever. We need to get ahead of the tackle problem

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      You are just stressing too much about these particular positions. You want to upgrade from Bryce and I understand that but you aren’t going to really get that without getting into a bidding war for a QB2 potential QB1 like Willis. You could possibly trade for Mills or the backup for Chicago but they are still gambles and their teams will won’t decent picks.  Again the Eagles thought KP was a capable enough backup to trade for him once their backup was hurt and won a Super Bowl with him as QB2. The point is most teams aren’t rolling with some stud QB2/3 that is going to push even a bottom tier starter. They are better off the building their roster in other areas. The Rams are rolling with Bennett right now as QB2 for example.  The goal is winning absolutely. We overachieved last year even with stumbling into the playoffs. Another year and this staff needs to take the next step in building a team. Will Grier has little to no impact on that….

      Three straight first round WRs is straight up Matt Millen poo. Considering the draft capital we have tied up on Bryce after that trade we would basically have spent damn near all of our draft capital in recent years on QB and WR just to put one of the most anemic passing offenses in the league on the field. Clown show poo.
