I have been using linux laptops for so long I cringe anytime I have to use osx or M$ ... linux has just fine tuned everything so much over the years it just more productive than other OS<p>... the default terminal on Ubuntu is sooo much nicer than anything I have found for osx<p>As a server side developer I do most of my code execution on remote servers so the laptop becomes less of a bottle neck ... no need to drop 2 grand on a laptop to run linux ... instead spend that dosh on a trip to Paris
