I'm considering getting the Macbook 2015 as a travel complement to my 15.6" i5 Thinkpad, which runs Ubuntu.

I'm considering getting the Macbook 2015 as a travel complement to my 15.6" i5 Thinkpad, which runs Ubuntu. I need to do a bit of Apple testing so it would fulfill two uses. But would it be too frustrating for occasional Web-focused software dev? I generally have Chrome loaded with a few tabs, a terminal or two, a database, and the Atom editor, working with a Node stack. I've never really used a Mac before so it's not clear how much overhead the OS has and how it will perform with this CPU.
