Hi, Arnab! Few months ago i was asking same to myself to choose “right” laptop to use as im a System administrator who loves FreeBSD and was using it on my servers and also work desktop. So, for laptop i have decided Mac Pro. why? 

its ready to go Unix based system, no need to spent a lot of time to “configure” but not use if i need to use it in emergency cases when FreeBSD lacks some desktop apps which i think not needed there. So, i think FreeBSD can be installed and used on desktop/laptop but i have decided to not go that way because i love it on my servers and not on desktop. Also, mac has ports system which i loved more after using it.
IMHO, mac is great if you programming, managing or monitoring servers and this laptop is real tool for me right now.
