Re: Using a Mac as a daily driver.

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.
