Similar experience when applying for a job at a major UK university back in 2009. My Dell laptop with Ubuntu crashed when trying to present my slides. There was an old iMac at the back of the room taunting me.

I ended up working there through a different route and bought a 2010 13” MBP that served me perfectly for four years before I sold it for an impressive amount of cash to buy a 2014 15” which was also flawless.
