I'd have to get you the model later. I'm at work and it's at home. But, what I'm going to be using it for is Python development. I've been working on a cross platform app for a few months now, and with buying this I can re-purpose my Lenovo P50 workstation for Linux and VMs, and use the Mac as my daily laptop. Then I can test the app on all 3 platforms. Just a side project really.

The built in keyboard on this one feels pretty good actually, but normally I just use an external one anyway.

Which model ?

I almost pulled the trigger on the 32gb 2018 Model the other day. Was heavily discounted open box but I've heard bad things on the 2015-2018 keyboards.

What kind of dev you doing ?

subject: [PCTECH] Using a Mac as a daily driver.

So on Saturday I picked up a used Macbook pro. Over the years I've toyed around with the idea of using a Mac, but the cost was just way too high.
Then, I found a local place that sells used stuff, so I got a Macbook for about half the cost of new.

So I was just curious if anyone else is using a Mac for their daily driver, and what did you think of it?

So far I have everything I want setup on it and it seems to be working well.

Thanks,
