Apple's all-new MacBook Pro
but but but... OS X is really great! I like the *buntus, but I think that OS X is a little more polished and solid.

It has no APT (well... it has but it's kind of a bolt-on solution). And no, ports is not an adequate substitute.
No APT is a deal-breaker for me. At least as my main work computer. But looks insanely great.

Yeah. You don't get a Macbook just for the aesthetic - though the aesthetic
is
tremendous. You get it for the operating system.

well, it's a sexy machine to run linux on too, when you are too frustrated with manually compiling tarballs or fighting with the ports system.

True. And I'd
imagine
that the drivers for Mac computers are all completely covered in Linux, considering there's not, ahem, too much variety to pick from. So that's an advantage.
