I've been looking for over a year for a good (build quality) laptop which can run a unix-like environment. And I always end up circling back to macbooks, which have been comprised of very old hardware for quite some time now.

Hard to justify spending so much money for a 3/4 year old CPU.

The alternative is to have a machine that requires more maintenance than my 5/6 year old thinkpad running OpenBSD.
