Hello HN,<p>I am planning onto buying the latest macbook pro in the next coming up months. I would love to hear from people who have bought it and have been using it.<p>How has been your experience so far and how do you feel about the notch.<p>I have been a linux guy mostly but I have gotten accustomed to using a macbook and the biggest reason I wanted to buy a macbook over thinkpad was to try swift and get into making iOS apps
I’ve been using a MacBook Pro as a daily driver for about 6 years.<p>I had a 2015 MacBook Pro, and I upgraded once to the new 2019 MacBook Pro. Then, my company got me the new 16” that came out this year.<p>I write design and write software in my day job, including iOS. I also write cross platform code in C++ and Rust, and I do some data work/Spark in Scala.<p>My work involves using the Jetbrains products, and I use iTerm2 with ohmyzsh. I also use Omnigraffle for designs and white boarding.<p>It’s a wonderful experience. In terms of negatives, I hated carrying a dongle with my 2019 MacBook Pro, and the docking station I had would sometimes cause a crash. Other than that, no issues. I would rank the machines in order of the latest MacBook Pro, the 2015, and then the 2019.<p>Obviously the 2019 was a massive step up from the 2015, but the lack of usable ports and having to carry dongles was an annoyance.
