I would love MacOS on a laptop. It would be perfect for music production. It's just so damn expensive for what you get hardware wise.

If the major audio applications and plugins ran on Linux without an emulator I'd switch immediately.

I think by this point the last generation of Intel MacBooks should be somewhat affordable. I think the 2017 airs are going for like $200-400 nowadays, depending on condition

That's actually pretty good. I'll keep an eye out. Would love to be able to add a laptop doing live music but windows is too sketchy.
