I have an Acer Travelmate p645. Bought it as a refurb for $750. Everything works flawlessly with Ubuntu. I would take if over my $1500 MBP any day. MBP has good battery life, better screen, and better trackpad (when it works) but OSX is a total drag. Everything in OSX is slow and clunky compared to Ubuntu and even the simplest tasks require googling to find some obscure keyboard shortcut that does what you want. I met a person once who explained to me why Macs are so much better than PCs - because they just have the apple logo and none of the other "weird stuff" (BIOS boot sequence) when they startup. That pretty much summarizes all the "advantages" of OSX. Still can't figure out why people who develop software for Ubuntu servers work on OSX instead of Ubuntu. What a waste. |

It wasnt an option. I think, especially in larger organizations, that IT departments dont want to support yet another OS. My previous employer didnt even offer macs.
