For clarification, I’ll refer to OSX as Mac. Macbooks are attractive for many reasons, their esthetics, a good looking Unix with MS Office and Adobe software, retina displays, trackpads, battery life, software support, Apple’s warranty, etc. I know lots of developers, especially living and earning their salaries in countries where a new MacBook costs several average developer salaries, ‘dreaming’ of having a Macbook. Half a year ago I switched jobs, moved from Windows to Mac only, being forced to relearn many things about my daily computer usage. Yes, there’s GNU/Linux, and I used it occasionally, but for reasons mentioned later, I couldn’t switch to only using it. Lots of friends (developers) around me had Macs, and the tutorials from developers I enjoy watching were mostly recorded on Macs. Mainly, the *nix environment always attracted me, Apple’s hardware quality and the general feeling of OSX.
For quite some time I had a desire to switch to Mac / OSX, due to several reasons.
