    Hate to say it but Unix is right. It's what I am considering next time I need to get a new machine. Whole dev environment that you can pick up and take with you. I have my sites in git and work locally via a local linux box, going mac would let me have the whole lot in one bundle. Seriously tempted. The only thing holding me back is only upgraded to this machine a year or two ago and it is more than fast enough and just can't justify £2K solely on making me portable, especially as I only work from two locations as it is.

      I looked at the spec and looks like an average processor/cores, ok mobile graphics card. Not sure about the ssd cant remember. Is it also limited to 16gb?

        Tuned to work well....

        I remember building PC's on the 2000's bought two Pentium three Mitsubishi Apricots, although lower spec in every way, they out-performed the homebuilds no problem. I put that down to time spent by Mitsubishi tuning parts - maybe I was wrong...

        Miss them - gave them away....

        I think that's what Apple do - not State of the Art, but tuned....
