motivated me to do this:
1) my observation that many developers at conferences and online were using
macOS as their primary desktop environment. when comparing this to the
OpenBSD and Linux community I felt pretty embarrassed, but it did explain the
stagnant nature of our graphics subsystem. people seemed afraid to touch
things due the brittle nature of its hardware support.
2) i was in need to an *affordable* machine with a warranty. fortunately
there are many affordable laptops at staples, best-buy and amazon - but they
were all post haswell systems, rendering them basically useless from a
FreeBSD perspective.
I've bought recently (like half year ago) cheapest laptop available.
Everything supported with FreeBSD out of the box, except little problem
with sound but
dev.hdac.0.polling=1
made it work.
What a problem? Even lowest end today computer is really high end for
normal programs.
