Mac vs Windows laptops?
Have you ever tried to develop software on a windows machine vs a Mac?
Sure, both can run eclipse and both can pull maven objects but because the Mac's OS is more Linux like, its easier. (Note: Mach is not Linux and at that level, you're splitting hairs, and no, it wasn't derived from Linux. Mach actually predates Linux, just ask Avi T. and some folks at CMU... ;-)
[No. Seriously... remember NeXTStep? ]
But I digress. The point is that for those of us who develop software, especially in the Big Data world, the Mac has the advantage.
I'm no fanboi, but I prefer to work with tools are easy to work with. Lets face it. Window 8.1? The UI sucks and I say this as I'm am building two new machines for my wife's office.
