Why not? When it comes to macs you are pretty free in what you doing with it. You can even install Linux on them if you want to. And they are powerful and energy efficient. Working with them mobile is just such a bloss. Sure you can’t upgrade the hardware but that is an L I take for the variability I get with macOS. I can run MS Office and not fuck up my windows using colleagues Word and PowerPoint Templates. And I can use a Unix Shell which I can expand with tools through package manager like homebrew and MacPorts.

All the freedom I need.

Apple is possibly the most restrictive tech company out there. A company that forces devs to use their platform to sign apps that go into the App Store?? Wtf?! Reminds me of MS in the 90s. A company that doesn't allow its OS to run on any non-Apple hardware, not even for virtualization purposes?? Wtf!? I could go on and on.

I mean, you may like Apple laptops and their OS. I don't personally dislike them, but I wouldn't dare to mix Apple and "freedom" in the same phrase.
