The MacBook Pro is the best laptop I've ever owned. It is extremely powerful, hugely energy-efficient, and the mechanical keyboard is finally really nice.
Since the MBP entirely scratches my business itch, the only desktop I'd buy is a gaming rig, which the Mac Pro certainly is not.
Mechanical keyboard?
I guess not mechanical keyboard... maybe I meant butterfly keyboard.
"Butterfly" was the design introduced with the touchbar MacBook pro. They've gone back to the scissor switches they were using before (with some modifications).
I don't think you meant that. The butterfly keyboards were pretty much univerally hated and Apple doesn't use them anymore.
Macs just have a pretty good scissor switch keyboard.
Any Apple is the worst laptop you can buy and will be basically useless in short order considering they're completely unupgradeable and irreparable.
Blows my mind that so many people still buy Apple's garbage. They crap in your mouth and then their consumers just keep showing up to beg for more.
Switched from a shitty dell to my Macbook pro laptop when I transitioned to the RHEL side of the house in my company.
Been using it ever since and I will never go back. But yea... I have no idea what the hell i'd ever want a Mac Pro for.
