Try to find a laptop that combines:

- powerful Unix-like shell and internals for when developers need to work

- no-brainer UX when developers do not want to have to work

With some bonuses such as:

- retina display that doesn't mess up every other app's windows

- a trackpad with multi-finger gestures that actually works

It can be done. Quite a few laptops are now getting there.

Yes you are right. Long back I asked a lot of people why they use Mac rather than other machines and Most the people said they became productive and more better because of certain features that Mac provides like smoother touchpad and the operating system is more optimised with respect to the hardware,so that the system through put is higher than average when you compare with any product. also Mac won't get old with in couple of years. I know lot of older plastic MacBook still runs and people still trusting the device for their daily use. I am developer converted to designer. And Mac help me in the transition buy providing good and affordable tools and as everyone started I used windows in my begin then switch to Linux and after that to Mac and never went back. I not saying I became a fan boy, but I trusting this product a lot.

Totally agree, I used to work with a HP running Ubuntu 14.04 but the UI just sucks and most of those tiny functionalities that are available on the Mac just makes you not think of getting another laptop. I don't think I can ever use another machine that is not a Mac. I just recently found out that you could create a digital signature on the mac, also imagine the ease of taking a screen snapshot. With windows you would have installed two shitty software's to do that.
