I'm looking for a new laptop for work and realised that all the programs I use also run on Mac OS. I can't find a windows laptop (within the same price range) that is as thin/light, with such good battery life.

Only problem is that everytime I've had to use Mac OS on someone else's computer, I've hated it.

    The mac book air I bought in 2013 was one of the best purchases ever made. It's still going strong, although support for it has been discontinued, so I'm waiting for a rainy day to put Arch on it.

    I haven't bought any mac product since, so I know things could have changed.

    I have a pretty strong background in Linux, and found OS X to be the best 'out of the box' UI for a posix machine. Arch and i3w are my faves, but no way could you recommend that to a normie lol

      That's interesting. I'm fairly comfortable with Linux too so I'm hoping that'll ease the switch to macOS.
