Developers Have a Laptop Problem [video]

I find the hate towards MacBooks interesting, and more so in the comments than the actual video. After having used a lot of computers, both laptops and desktops, I genuinely believe there are no better laptops than MacBooks that bring build quality and software quality, and last but not least the integration of those two to the table -- albeit for a hefty price tag.<p>A Windows laptop that you convert to a Linux laptop is simply a inferior machine in my eyes and my metrics: worse trackpad, way worse battery life, worse build quality in general (although Razor&#x27;s laptops are quite good), worse hardware integration (biometric auth). It&#x27;s a tinkerer&#x27;s dream, but not the optimal productivity machine.<p>Linux belongs on the server, maybe desktops, but certainly not on a laptop IMHO.<p>I say this not to be a Apple fanboy, but rather to acknowledge that Apple&#x27;s products are not the cancer that some people make it out to be.

You can put a miniPC somewhere, SSH and run code remotely. Then your laptop matters a lot less.
