Experience of Debian in a Macbook pro

Hi,

I would like to buy a laptop. And I love the Macbooks pro. But I will
mainly run Debian. Is it worthy to buy a mac to run Debian?

I look into the documentation of rEFIT and it looks like a "hack" to
emulate the BIOS. It is a pity that there is not a cleaner way to run
linux on a Mac

Do you have a good experience running Debian in a Mac?

Thanks,
Dan
