Surevine gave me a MacBook Pro when I joined, and I've spent over four years using it as little as possible.
At home, in my office, I use a thumping great Linux workstation. With 64G, 6 cores (12 if you count Hyperthreading), over 1T of SSD and a load more in spinnies, multiple screens, and a decent keyboard it costs a little bit less than a top of the line MBP, and performs much, much better. For doing systems work, it's a joy - I can sling up a dozen or more Docker containers alongside a Windows VM with ease, something that's simply impossible on any laptop-class machine you can buy.
On the move, I tend to avoid programming, and stick with my slightly aged Sony Xperia Z4, which has a good quality keyboard dock, turning an Android tablet into a passable laptop for email, IM, and writing.
I still have a Macbook Pro. I mostly use it to carry my sticker collection.
