I'd get a MBP for development work if I could afford it, I think they are great for that. But that's not really what this is about...
I have a friend who's been getting into photography recently. She now has multiple cameras costing $$$, DSLR etc, goes on photo trips etc. She's also a very non-techy person but for some reason she's also never owned an iPhone or Apple product, by choice, which is pretty rare
A while back she bought a hefty Windows laptop for ~$1400 for all her photo/video work, she also pays the monthly fee for Adobe Creative suite. Seems to think she needs the full power of Photoshop/Premiere etc but I know she only uses the basic functions. She's had issues with the laptop (driver related stuff, slowdowns in Adobe etc). I've helped her upgrade to Windows 10 which improved things. She's one of those people who don't take backups and lost data even after I bought her an external drive and showed her how.
All this is leading to - she's the perfect user for a MBP. She'd get all the photo/video editing tools for free/cheaper, would be easier to use. a much better screen, Time Machine for backups, and reduce my tech support burden But its a lost cause and makes me
