Hi Andy,

I was checking MBP with retina a week ago and was very disappointed by stability of the system. Namely, open terminal -> type top (aka unix task manager) -> try to view photos or browse not heavy websites-> watch to top in the terminal. You will see what these apps using 40-60% of CPU regardless of the actual application usage. And the screen is not that great in comparing to my lenovo w510 FHD.

how does CPU usage relates to stability of the system?

I am just pointing out that software part is raw and needs to be fixed. I think you can find more evidence exploring unix terminal

This is very vague. It also has very little to do with the OS.

I haven't had any stability problem with recent *nix system. OSX comes from the BSD family. I have been using OSX as a VM host for the past 3-4 years and it has been extremely solid.

My new laptop will arrive tomorrow. I'll tell ya'll how long it will last me when it breaks down.

How we doing on the Mac OS love these days? I just might join the dark side so I have one laptop with each OS on it.

I have one of the first M1 Pro Macbook. The current M4 is so much faster.
You can install Window on your Mac.

See if I can't get linux on there somehow. Worst case scenario I can SSH into a linux session on aws or azure. Will be fun if I don't go nuts first

I recently switched over from Win64 to Mac - it's one of my first Mac machines. I use iTerm2 and setup Quarto(for blogging) + VSCode. Everything installs like a breeze. Self-learning nVim + CMAKE on the side.

That sounds delightful! Hoping for good things!
