Never heard of a Macbook Phone.

Maybe just a wrong forum choice.

Be aware Apple isn't all goodness and light either. Here's a video about that.

So you are an IT guy right?

An IT guy who can't choose between a windows laptop or a macbook, sure. Both have their pros and cons. I have a Macbook Air and it is decent for what it is. However, if I wanted a machine for everything I'd choose Windows with Linux maybe in dual boot mode. MacOS is fairly restricted.
