almost all, if not all, tech workers in sillycon valley's fang companies (faecesbook, apple, netflix, gobbledygook) choose the macbook pro for their work. if you walk around with a lenovo, hp, acer, asus, or dell laptop, they will instantly give you the eyeroll and think you're either an insurance salesperson or real estate agent. for techies, don't forget there's a massive recall on the 15-inch macbook pro sold between sep-2015 and feb-2017. some airlines won't allow you to board with that version of the macbook pro as it has a (burning) battery issue.
