> Engineers use MacBook pros because it’s the best built laptop, the best screen, arguably the best OS and most importantly - they’re not the ones paying for them.
I know engineers from a FANG that picked MacBook pros in spite of the specs and only because of the bling/price tag. Them they spent their whole time using it as a remote terminal for Linux servers, and they still complained about the thing being extremely short on RAM and HD.
One of them even tried to convince their managers to give the vision pro a try, even though there was zero use cases for it.
Granted, they drive multiple monitors well with a single USB-C plug, at least with specific combinations of monitors and hubs.
It's high time that the "Apple sells high end gear" shtick is put to rest. Even their macOS treadmill is becoming tiring.
