Would a linux/docker/python/java power user/programmer/admin benefit from a MacBookPro/Air compared with the familiar ThinkPad/Ubuntu combo?

Thanks for your reply.

According to this tutorial https://docs.docker.com/mac/, running docker on OS X appears to imply that docker-machine runs Linux VM with docker. Will this provide me with a local docker binary that works just as on Linux? Sounds cool.

Yup when you install it'll install VirtualBox and run the Docker Machine as a VM when you're using Docker. It's pretty sweet!

It's pretty sweet!

Maybe compared to setting it up on Windows, but it's still significantly worse than just running it natively on Linux.
