Macs seem to have become extremely popular for developers who don't even necessarily develop for Mac, and I'm wondering why. Comparably spec'd notebooks are up to $1000 less than a Macbook. Where's the added value?
I'm in the market for a new laptop, and haven't found any compelling reasons for switching over as a backend web developer. I'm really curious about what I'm missing as a non-Mac developer. Is it just a status purchase?
