About 6 months ago I looked for a an alternative to a MacBook. Price was not a factor. I came from an old thinkpad T400. Keyboard was great.
What I wanted was a damn trackpad that was awesome. I spent a lot of time in different stores trying various laptops and their trackpad. Nothing came close. So I ended up with an Macbook. All in all they are solid workhorses that take a lot of abuse. The biggest gripe is that updates tend to make everything more unstable and my battery life is going to shit with El Capitan.
