as far as I can tell this is why people at work use them (it's an actual usable computer with a Unix shell) but I tried using one at work for a few months to "fit in" and it wasn't worth it

(the keyboard alone :barf:)

Our dev servers run Ubuntu anyway, I just remote into mine from a PC laptop and everything works fine

It's a side effect of being smug.

Like I've always had Thinkpads and other Windows laptops seem like happy meal toys, Macs are like a fifth the thickness of those eighties looking beasts now and I think cheaper for the specs?

They do now, yes. Five years ago they did not. MS shook the market up with the Surface line.

After a long time of Apple eating up a lot of the laptop market other laptop makers are starting to catch on to the idea that people like when laptops are actually good-looking and durable and have usable trackpads and don't creak when you click the mouse

Most professional line laptops will be ok. Just don't get the low-end pro notebook which is usually still poo poo
