Oh man, my trusty 2011 15" MacBook Pro just died. It's exhibiting the symptoms of the logic board failure that there was a class action lawsuit about. Unfortunately, mine didn't have the problem then, and it's no longer covered....
I had always thought I'd replace it someday with a 2015 MacBook Pro with the retina display, but now I'm reading how they aren't allowed on a lot of commercial flights anymore because a number of the batteries have blown up. That would be sort of limiting.
So now I'm trying to figure out what to get. I've primarily been using it just to talk to the Axe III, YouTube, a few other music apps, and misc things when traveling. Really nothing Mac specific, as I actually avoided using things like the picture apps, hate iTunes, etc. I have an Android phone, so I don't use any of the linked texting stuff, etc.
I'd have liked to get a Mac Mini and bigger monitor for home use, but I look at the prices, and I think I could just get a Intel NUC for half the price. Doesn't help for traveling though.
Anyone recommend a Windows laptop that doesn't suck?
