Macbook Air In JavaOne 2008 I noticed something I least expected - an abundance of Mac laptops (Macbook, Macbook Pro & Macbook Air) in not just developers hands but also press / analysts and presenters.在2008年的JavaOne我发现我至少预期-丰富的M ac笔记本电脑（的M acBook， M acBookP ro的＆的M acBook空气）在不只是开发商手中，而且新闻/分析师和主持人。 I didn’t conduct a formal survey but anyone there can attest to the fact that around 60-70% of the laptops were Mac with Dell being a distant second.我并没有进行正式的调查，但任何人有可以证明这一事实，即约60-70 ％的笔记型电脑的Mac分别与戴尔正在一个遥远的第二次。 Obviously there must be good reasons for it.显然必须有很好的理由。 So I started asking the software developers.因此，我开始要求软件开发商。 I found 5 good reasons for software developers to use a Mac laptop :我发现5良好的原因，软件开发商使用Mac笔记型电脑 ：


BSD at the core BSD的处于核心地位

BSD is a Linux like operating system but not encumbered with GPL license. BSD的是一个Linux的作业系统一样，但不设押与GPL许可发布。 It is extremely feature rich and has a powerful command line interface like Linux.这是极为丰富的功能，并具有强大的命令行界面一样， Linux系统。 Good command line interfaces are bread-and-butter for any hardcore programmer.良好的命令行界面是面包和奶油的任何顽固程序员。 Linux / BSD CLI allows you to easily accomplish complex processing tasks unlike the childish CLI, via cmd, that comes with Windows operating system. Linux的/ BSD的CLI的可让您轻松地完成复杂的处理任务不同，幼稚的CLI ，通过cmd ，随之而来的Windows作业系统。 So why not just use Linux / BSD?那么为什么不只是使用Linux / BSD的呢？ That brings me to the second point.这使我想到的第二点。

Mac “just works” with all devices, wireless and more.陆委会“刚刚工程”与所有设备，无线和更多。

Linux / BSD traditionally has problems supporting the latest drivers for devices.

Mac上解决了这个问题，由航运硬件，随着该软件。 Your don’t have to worry about drivers or even dream about compiling from source code.您不必担心司机或什至梦想编制从源代码。 Mac just works!陆委会只是工程！

In short Mac gives you hassle free computing at a price.在短期的Mac让您无死角的计算价格。

Pleasant interface愉快的界面

Arguably Mac sports the best user interface of all operating systems.可以说在Mac体育最好的用户界面，所有的作业系统。 Mac UI is easy to use and easy on the eyes for newbies and pros alike.在Mac的用户界面易于使用，并且很容易对眼睛为新手和利弊一样。 It is also very powerful and intuitive.这亦是非常强大和直观。 Add to the power of BSD in its core and you have a sure winner.添加到权力的BSD在其核心和您有一个肯定的赢家。

Fast快速的

I was told that Mac performs admirably well compared with equivalent windows business machine at similar price point.有人告诉我说，陆委会的表现令人钦佩，以及相比，具有同等的Windows商用机器在类似的价格点。 Several developers told me (which also means I haven’t personally verified) that Mac gives them better performance than equivalent (in terms of price) Windows Vista laptops from reputed vendors.几个发展商告诉我， （这也意味着我没有亲自验证）表示，陆委会让他们有更好的表现比当量（在价格方面）的Windows Vista笔记本电脑由著名的供应商。

Cost effective成本效益

All of the above leads to a hassle-free and cost-effective laptop for software developers and others.上述所有导致一项简单易用的免费和具成本效益的笔记型电脑的软件开发商和其他。 No wonder Mac laptops were an overwhelming majority at JavaOne 2008.无怪乎的Mac笔记本电脑分别以压倒多数在JavaOne 2008年。
