I have been using the same (ish) Air that you're looking at for about a year now (this is my first Mac). I'm getting rid of it and grabbing a Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition - the screen resolution on the Air just isn't good enough, and the OS is a joke compared to Linux.

Care to expand on how Mac OS is a joke?

I'd like to hear why you think OS X is a joke as well. It's a true POSIX system[1] after all. You can get homebrew/macports which (I hope) offers something comparable to apt-get.

[1] Unlike Windows, which passes POSIX certification on paper (or did), but in reality it doesn't mean a thing.
