Buying a mac doesn't force you to use macos, I just love their
hardware but stick to linux as dev environment. My mac mini has a
ubuntu/macos dual boot.
Yup I know. It should be listed as a pro:)
If you are going to stick with ubuntu better check if there are any
issues with the new macbooks. I've read about thermal and suspend
problems with the old macbooks but on my mac mini ubuntu runs
smoothly.
Ahh good with a heads up..

Hi
We use Mac's here at our office too, namely the Apple MacBook Pro. As
Martijn mentioned apple are a bit slow on the java side, and pretty elusive
about information..
We have no problems using mac's. And I never shutdown my mac, always
hibernate once every 3 or 4 weeks it crashes(but it's probably me
disconnecting devices when it's sleeping) when I open it so it's pretty
stable.
So the
pros:
Unix like os
Small laptop, but with largescreen
usually noiseless
eye candy effect (hey even the guys in CSI uses it)
cons:
expensive
java support slow...
If you ask me what OS/laptop I would use next.. I'd probably go for ubuntu,
just to try it out, possibly on a mac pro.
The idea/Eclipse part. I hear that once youve gotten use to idea it should
be really fast, because of their very good refactoring support. On the
otherhand idea are a commercial license.. For now I use Eclipse 3.4 JEE
version.

Hello wicket users,
I have to bye a new notebook and I am thinking about the new
Apple MacBook Pro.
I am using Ubuntu for my development, Java/Wicket with maven,
Eclipse/Idea,
Tomcat.
Are here any Mac OS X users and developers with pros and cons? I want to
know
if Mac OS X will be a good dev platform, because I am new to it.
Hear about your experiences, would be great!
