Why did you buy a MacBook? (alien.top)

I’m just curious if it’s because there was a particular app or a workflow that motivated you to get a MacBook? Or just the Apple ecosystem?

Genuinely just curious.

To be honest, I'm not much of an Apple fan. However, when it comes to MacBooks, they are excellent machines!

As a computer scientist, I enjoy my MacBook for Software Development and Engineering. The fact that macOS is a subset of Unix helps a lot. I come from Ubuntu (Linux) so transitioning to Mac was very easy.

It's great for my various projects. I bought my M1 Max 32gb 14" MBP almost 2 years ago and it has been great. Nothing to complain about. In 3 years, I'll probably buy another Mac unless if Blizzard decides they want to port World Of Warcraft to Linux.
