> and forgot about having a few docker containers running on the background which was an issue with my MacBook Pro 15 (8GB, 2.5Gh) It's almost as if Docker has to start and run in a VM on non-Linux systems. > however, they still do not have 16GB 13' mac which is a deal breaker. What are you talking about? You've been able to upgrade the memory in a 13 inch MBP to 16GB on purchase since like 2015 at least > Touchscreen I've had two traditional laptops with touchscreens. Both times they got in my way and I stop using the touchscreen after like three months max. On a 2-in-1 like the Surface Book where touch is a first-class input it's a completely different story, but on traditional laptops a touchscreen is far from an ideal user input device. It's like the N64 controller - you're left wondering if the manufacturer thinks you have a third arm coming out of your chest or something. To use it you have to take your hand completely off one of your two much better input devices (keyboard and trackpad/mouse) and hold your arm in an awkward, quickly painful position if your laptop is in a normal position (on a fairly flat surface with the screen straight or maybe tilted back a little, a couple of feet away from you max). The touch bar isn't the greatest design decision but moving a finger up to tap e.g. the bookmark app control in Chrome is a far more natural movement than lifting my hand to the screen to attempt to poke at the bookmark star which is rendered at like half the size of my fingertip. |

Just as an FYI, that's no longer true for both macOS (xhyve) and Windows (unknown underlying tech, but compiling and running dockerd behaved reasonably with the exception that one could only run Windows docker images). In fact, IIRC, even Docker for Mac uses xhyve, so only docker-machine folks use the VM-based solution
