Might surprise you but the vast majority of IT units hiring people are not giving them $1500-$2000 Macbooks

You only spend $2000 on your mac books? My last one was $3,750 after shipping and taxes.
Wow!! Can you say it is absolutely worth it?
It's extortion. MacOS is the only good consumer OS built on *nix, so I'd probably pay 3x if they charged it.
Haha fair enough. I too like the OS but that pricing point is way too steep for me.
My Dell laptop that I got when I was hired cost $1500
