Why do people still buy MacBook Airs? I thought the entire point of buying from Apple was for the Retina display.

because it's sleek and shiny, also a lot of poor people wanting to look like middle class.

/thread
Just poor people wanting to fit in with their middle class friends in their gender studies class.

Anzu uses one :3

ANZU

IS

CUTE!!!

...

What other choise do they have in 1k or sub 1k $ price range?

> Macbook Air 13"
> decent screen
> 7-9h battery life
> decent i5 5th gen i5
> not-too-bad keyboard
> zero overheating problems
> decent touchpad
> better than chinkcompanies support and guarantee

> Asus Zenbook
> overheating
> WAY weaker cpu
> better screen
> shitty battery life
> chink quality

> Any Lenovo laptops, including yogas
> money grabbers made in taiwan
> literally fall apart
> have very good HW for the price
> unoptimized, overheating piece of shits with 0 battery life

> XPS 13
> wins in every HW related aspect over MBA
> can get cheaper
> bloated unusable OS which doesn't even support this HW (thx M$)
> unusable trackpad
> loud cooling

MBA was good choice for a while

>1440x900
>great battery life

However, the rMBP 13" is only $300 more.

Because the Airs are cheaper and lighter?

Not shocking, seems like a dummy

> 12 hour battery
> Best OS ever made
> Powerful enough to handle everything that isn't games (so everything thats worth doing)
> build quality
> inexpensive for a new laptop
> best trackpad ever made

Why do people buy anything other than the MBA?

>trackpad impossible to click near upper edge
>extremely loose near bottom edge
>overall flimsy diving board piece of shit
>even applel themselves has admitted it's utter shit now and has trashed the design to go back to copying 90's era laptops with solid non-click touchpads
>still has no real buttons
>relies on pressure sensitive gimmick bullshit
>if you press too lightly or too hard it does something completely different than what you intended
>ultra shit tier zero travel chiclet keyboard
>OSX is a steaming pile of shit with horrendous battery management
>applel's solution is to cram in a massive heavy 95WHr battery to make up for it
>even XXXTREME GAMER cancer like razer blade with 4X the CPU/GPU power and 70WHr battery matches it in battery life in same tasks
>gets BTFO by 55WHr Yoga 2 in battery life in same tasks
>the battery takes up the space where a cooling system would've been in a laptop not designed by the world's thinnest and lightest gay hipsters
>overheats at the slightest task because abysmal crippled cooling system
>throttles to 800mhz because of chronic overheating problems
>retina meme supposedly for "pros" have have blurry as shit retina meme scaling
>shitbook air is even worse with 1366x768 TN eye cancer

>macshit is good
Can we finally put an end to this meme?

>edgy design

>world's thinnest and lightest gay hipsters
top kek

>> Macbook Air 13"

this, also for developers, Apple’s computers are great because it allows you to develop in a UNIX environment with Apple’s tools such as XCode and other software only available under OSX.
And just to make it clear, I really don’t like at all Apple’s policy and OSX, but I have to admit it is really useful for development, be it web dev or software dev.

Still, there is no good reason not to use OSX, GNU/Linux or Windows except if you don’t _need_ it or want it, each OS has its pros and cons, for daily use, or for work/studies tasks.

>Retina screen
honestly my high end TFT from 2006 looks way better than my MB Pro, that sRGB profile is fucking dreadful

I want to pet Anzu's head while she fellates me

Wouldn't you rather want a different notebook worth 2,5k?

Delete this

XCode is garbage.

Calibrate it.

fuck off with this turk shit

There's little reason to buy a Macbook Air.

It's basically a light laptop that can't play games, you can't edit video, photos, do any heavy computing on it.

Why would you spend $800 on a web browsing computer with more power than what you need? Sure the trackpad and keyboard are nice, but who gives a fuck? Just buy a Chromebook with a mouse dummies.
