I'm a long time GNU/Linux user. I picked up my first Mac when I needed a dependable laptop for work that could run MS Office, Adobe, and other proprietary. I picked up an entry level MacBook Pro, new in early 2012.
It is a tough little bugger. My job involved a lot of travel. It has survived operating in temperatures in excess of 120F down to about -20F. The backpack that I crammed it into has been stepped on by aircrew, and thrown out of cargo holds. It has developed some scars, to be sure, but a battery replacement and SSD upgrade later, and it is still going strong. I was so impressed with this little thing that I picked up an iPhone 4s and 4th Generation iPad also - both current at the time. I also have an iMac for my desk - 2013. If I lived in a mobile phone service area, I'd have a new iPhone. I really like how the devices all work together to make the experience even better.
I've enjoyed reading the forum posts, and articles.

The SSD upgrade was the best thing I've done (aside from adding RAM to start) to my 2011 Mac Mini. It's like a new machine!
