Yeah. We have a 2009 MacBook pro here that still works great, other than being horrendously out of date. I was getting 6+ hours of battery life out of it when it was new, which is pretty surprising in those days.

And OS X is pretty nice (or was for the life of that laptop, I haven’t used it much since then), and still Unix.

When my wife needed a new laptop a few years ago, we got her a Mac, because it’s just so much less maintenance for me, compared to Windows. (She uses some stuff that Linux does not yet support.)

Vuescan.

My previous laptop had a touch screen, and the Linux driver worked for it with no configuration on my end. Not exactly what you’re asking about, but I was impressed by how it “just worked”.

But that was a traditional laptop.

Ummm you go first.
