(Actually my one complaint hardware wise is that it only has two Thunderbolt ports and no Ethernet port) I wouldn’t pay for it myself but if my employer wants to pay the premium then I’m fine with that: I get a decent laptop with excellent battery life that does what I need. It’s no wonder Linux developers, too, favour them. They use an Apple because they don’t want to use different hardware for work and pleasure.Īpple’s laptops are still the best PCs money can buy at the moment (despite their horribly outdated displays). They’ll use it when they’re commuting, either for playing videos or for getting a head start so they can leave early. These are people who work on the same laptop that they use at home. They’re not using Macs because their development tools require them, they’re using Macs because of what else they get – an aesthetically pleasing OS, iTunes and what’s easily the best trackpad hardware/driver combination on the market. When I looked over people’s shoulders, I saw terminals and a web browser. People are writing code with the intention of deploying it on Linux, but they’re doing so under an entirely different OS.īut what’s really interesting is the tools they’re using to do so. The overwhelming majority of OpenStack deployments are Linux-based, yet the most popular laptop vendor (by a long way) at the conference was Apple.
