Do I really need Macbook to do Ruby on Rails development?
I'm starting to learn Ruby on Rails but this question is bugging me.

As I visited a lot of Ruby on Rails site and talked to a lot of Ruby on Rails dev I know, most of them are using Macbook to do the development.

Even I know that Ubuntu is also a good platform to do the development. But, why not so much people using it. The point is, a laptop with Ubuntu is much cheaper compare to Macbook Pro. It's almost $500 in different at my location, which is quite a lot of money for me. But, I can pay for it if Macbook is really better.

So, Is there any pros and cons that I'm not aware of? And, do I really need Macbook to do Ruby on Rails development?
