I was struggling to make up my mind between the thinkpad T480 and the macbook A1466. In the end I bought the mac. That was my first financial irresponsibility of the month.
But it turns out despite hating some things about it, I loved having that much battery life. So I might just keep it with macOS. I tried installing windows to it but it got so hot and I gave up because that's a bad sign for the battery.
That lead me to my second financial irresponsibility of the month: I bought the thinkpad
I've been financially irresponsible.
Twice.
I have a thinkpad T450 running fedora sericea. I love it (both the software and the hardware). However, I did start messing around with microsoft's ADDS in Windows Server in my proxmox server. And I wanted a secondary personal laptop to leave at work with Windows and test stuff in the domain and my first idea was to buy a thinkpad.
BUT
I saw a cheap macbook air A1466 and since I've never had a laptop with macOS... why not? It can run Windows too.
As spring approaches I like to check all my really old hard drives work.
I call this the IDEs of March.
I think I'll start studying with focus on DevOps stuff. I found a very complete platform, Alura.

I'm asking some friends if it's worth it or not, and I'm taking advice and recommendations, feel free to help me :)
