I've been working with both Linux and OSX for a long time now: I have the same laptop and specs. Have not been able to try the new laptops, but am worried about not being able to do any kind of upgrades to the machine once bought. That does seems to be the case with everything in that category, on every brand. Linux is great for web development —installing development software is soooo much easier there— as long as you don't need to print or scan anything.

The frustrating part for me is apps in the design-space that only run on Mac. I am primarily in dev-land only, but I hop into other environments often enough that it's frustrating to be on the OS that these companies aren't writing software for.

I do a bit of coding —mainly web design related— and a lot of design. A Mac is still the best option for me.
