As for me Mac did bring programming to me, just with its durable chassis and well working memory management and relatively stable OS.
- I can lift a Macbook with one hand creating tension on the chassis. When I do the same on a Lenovo T14 Gen 1 it shuts off. When I get excited and am just in the middle of programming, just grabbing the laptop to bring it closer to me kills my work.
- Stable firmware, stable startup, stable wake from sleep without losing progress
- Can swap dozens of gigabytes
- Doesn’t corrupt after updated
- Usable trackpad
- Color calibrater high-res screen since 2012
For me it’s these purely usability centered aspects that enable me to even do programming. Automatic sleep/hibernate features don’t work with the other models at all.
