Macs aren't out of the way; only AS will take a bit for the developer ecosystem to adapt.
The Intel MacBooks are still the best dev machines for the time being.

I haven't found a PC laptop that comes close to the quality of the MBP. The touchpad is pure wizardry. I never accidentally touch the corner of it while typing and send my cursor flying across the screen. The hardware is solid, and can be repeatedly woken/suspended all day long simply by closing the lid, without a driver lockup. The OS never crashes. It overheats and still works fine.
Truly the next best thing to a MBP for development work is a Windows desktop with WSL.
