If I interpret the mac as just any laptop then I kind of agree. The more experience I have gained the less I care about how many monitors I have or how fancy my keyboard is. I do require linux though.

No the keyboard is important. There are so many truly awful keyboards out there that have no travel on the keys.

I absolutely cannot stand the keyboard on the MacBook air. It's so incredibly cheap and it appears to be made out of the same material that they package luxury chocolates in.

Keyboard is critical to me. I can work on a MacBook keyboard short term but something like a Glove80 or at least an Ergodox is critical for me in the long term.

Also OS X Unix is nix enough for me.

I can lightly mess around with opensource projects on windows ...with msys2.
