I don't understand how user experience is going to be different on thse machines than any other. But if you are talking about hardware compatibility then following links might be useful. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro > also interested in why one should / should not buy a a macbook and run > gnu/linux on it, Macbook is highly portable because of the small screen size (approx 13.3"). And this is very useful when you have to carry it as against the other laptops these days with 17" screen where you need to carry separate bags. Also apple machines always come packed with latest technologies. For ex. they started shipping graphics cards with DVI output interface long time before other vendors. Macbook seems to be favorite among FOSS developers. Check photos from UDS on planet Ubuntu you will know what I mean. As for disadvantage they are overpriced in my opinion. And if you plan to run on linux you will have some binary only driver, mostly graphics card but you may need for wireless too. Hope this helps.
