    As a lifelong Windows user, my reaction after a week with the Macbook Pro is a) crying over lost time + b) hating how right Apple fans were.

        @patio11 Tell us more. I have a Macbook Pro and Air sitting here. But still prefer my Thinkpad. 2TB of SSD, great keyboard.

        @dharmesh The real killer for me is that my Dell with equivalent specs (16GB RAM / 512 GB SSD) is exhaustingly heavy to move to new places.

        @patio11 It paid for itself and then some when the flat upstairs had a massive water leak and destroyed my home office. TC backs up hourly.

        @SharkSEO Thanks for the recommendation. I Dropbox everything of importance compulsively, but will look into getting this.

        @markcross I've got Ubuntu in a VM for Rails, and it's lovely, but it doesn't make the aircraft carrier of a laptop any lighter.
