looking at a 2015 macbook pro. 13 inch, 3.1ghz, i7, 16 gb ram, 1TB. all for $2,000.

is that a good deal?

...

no

yes, don't let the memesters influence you

I don't care if it's called the iPhone 4S, iPhone 5 or iPhone 1000; I'm going to buy it. I've had every generation of iPhone so far and with each one there's been a vast improvement on its predecessor.
Whether you like it or not Apple are way ahead in the smartphone market. Fact. My sister just got a Galaxy S2, and I've shown her my iPhone 4 and we both agreed that although the S2 is newer the iPhone wins hands down.
You can not argue with the iPhone, it's practically perfect yet Apple seem to be able to improve with every generation.

I doubt whether any Android/Windows Phone user has ever used an iPhone decided it wasn't for them and gone back again.

It's true what they say :

"Once you go Mac; You never go back."

>looking at a macbook
it's never a good deal.

>all for $2,000
So cheap! 2-year-old laptops usually go for $5000, right?

Only Apple makes computers from metal, everyone else just uses cheap plastic from melted crayons.

>overpriced apple products

Yes, a bit, but still, they are brilliant to use. Have you ever seen an Apple Thunderbolt Display compared to a standard monitor? Much higher resolution, crisper display, brighter colours and brighter screen. Not to mention the sound and built in webcam.

Apple Magic Mouse - Never used one, but if the multitouch is as good as the trackpad, then you really don't understand. I have never used a better pointing device in my life than the trackpad in my MacBook. It's huge compared to other laptops so you can actually use it. You can click anywhere (instead of gay tapping), right click anywhere, scroll anywhere, plus the other gestures such as pinch+zoom (which works properly - like on a phone). Oh, and the scrolling completely matches what you do. You don't move your finger 1/100000 of a millimetre and the page jumps 3 lines, you move 1/000000 of a millimetre and the page moves 1/100000 of a millimetre. I prefer this trackpad to a mouse. Seriously. It has just the right texture - it doesn't hurt or rub on your finger, but you don't slide for miles either.

(cont)

Apple Keyboard - It is the best typing keyboard ever. Full stop. I have yet to use a desktop keyboard which is comparable to the comfort and response of the MacBook or External Apple Keyboard. The buttons press down all at once (they don't flop sideways if you press the side). They don't feel of shit. They are spaced out to the size of any normal keyboard. You don't have to jam your fingers into them to make them work. They are not mega sensitive. You never clip the key next to the one you meant to press because there is space between they keys. The keys are backlit so you can see what you are typing at night. The keys are all adequately sized (except for the ctrl key which is hardly used on Mac).
Oh and also, all you fucking fags from the USA saying Mac is overpriced - you don't even CONSIDER all the other countries - if you live in the UK, the *EXTRA* tax we have to pay accounts for 1/4 of the cost! We have to pay nearly $400 EXTRA for a baseline MacBook pro. So stop fucking complaining.

Actually, the cloud synergy Web 2.0 integration of information parsing, and the innovation displayed by the intuitive interface and design philosophy of fashionable and artistically conceptualized items, as well as the clear advances made in user-interface stream-lining and leveraged paradigm-shifts towards usability and compatibility, in addition to the ability to perform pseudo-parallel virtualization and the usage of augmented enhancements to the audio-visual human experience, make Dell an obviously better choice.

We are not just talking techno-lingo here, either. In the near future, multi-threaded apps will be optimized for both traditional 2D experiences, or 3D interfaces provided by server-grade levels of performance in a user-friendly form-factor and aesthetically acceptable platform. Only Dell can provide the needed infrastructure and necessary throughput to empower knowledge workers to become innovators who can take full advantage of the upcoming restructuring of the classical data mediums. It must be realized that the internet-savvy consumer must be engaged and presented with a good set of alternatives in order to expand business opportunities and go beyond the presets and lock-downs of old-gen limitations.

I LOVE APPLE PRODUCTS
THEYRE SO HIP AND UNIQUE
WATCH ME AS I ROLL DOWN THE STREET
IN MY TIGHT JEANS AND EVEN TIGHTER JACKET
ROCKING SOME WHITE EARBUD HEADPHONES
AND MY APPLE PRODUCT STRAPPED TO MY ARM
BEST WATCH OUT WHEN I COME TO TOWN LADIES
IM SO HIP THAT WHEN MY GRANDMOTHER TOOK A DIVE I TOOK THEY USED ME FOR A REPLACEMENT

Android looks very interesting, even if some of the screen colours and menu options appear to be a little out of the ordinary.
But you are missing a vital point, a point which takes some experience and depth of knowledge in the field of computers. You see, when a smartphone boots up, it needs to load various drivers and then load various services. This happens long before the operating system and other applications are available.

Android is a marvellous operating system in its own right, and even comes in several different flavours. However, as good as these flavours are, they first need Apple iPhone to load the services prior to use.

In Android, the home screen might be the default for launching apps, and you might prefer Ice Cream Sandwich brown over the grassy knoll of the iPhone platform, but mark my words young man - without the iPhone drivers sitting below the visible surface, allowing the android to talk to the hardware, it is without worth.

And so, by choosing your Android as an alternative to iPhone on your phone, you still need an Apple licence to run this operating system through the iPhone drivers to talk to the hardware. Android is only a code, it cannot perform the low level function.

My point being, young man, that unless you intend to pirate and steal the Apple drivers and services, how is using the Android going to save money ? Well ? It seems that no Android fan can ever provide a straight answer to that question !

May as well just stay legal, run the iPhone drivers, and run iPhone instead of the Android.

op here. so is it a good deal or not?

...

no

If you're going to copy pasta, at least update the models, damn shill

I didn't give you permission to reply to me. Listen, it was entertaining, first. Hell, it was actually funny.


But now I'm getting the feeling that you actually think that you're on my level. From the day I was born, I was destined for success, you little shit. I was brought into this world by a software engineer and and a prominent actuary, both of Norwegian descent. From the moment that the fucking curtains were raised, I was set to dominate the STEM fields. And because I had guardians that actually cared about me, I flourished. Pretty soon, I was placed into a special school of correspondence, specifically I.M Gelfand's school for gifted children in New England. I not only reached my parents' expectations, but I passed them with flying colors. I had raw talent. I was fucking better. I was surrounded by 6th graders, many from Hong Kong, whom were smarter than half the posters in this fucking thread. And now, where am I?


In MIT, getting my double BS in Electrical Engineering and Physics, with a Stanford-Binet tested IQ of 147 at age 17.


Get this through your head: you are nothing. I am worth more than your entire goddamn family. I'm smarter than you, better looking than you, taller than you, wealthier than you, and more employable than you. While you type out another post to get cheap laughs, I'll be simultaneously working with the brightest minds in the world and fornicating with my beautiful girlfriend. It gets on my nerves when people pretend to be better than me.


Know your place, you fucking vermin. Never, ever reply to my posts, again.

give me one reason why

I have always lived in an extreme Christian household and I always tried my best to adhere to our view of chastity. However, when I was 13 I found out I was gay. I didn't want to tell my mother because they always said that it was a sin and I would never be allowed back home if I was gay. I kept this a secret for five whole years, and I tried my best not to get off with gay stuff. I tried and tried to make myself straight, but I couldn't. I don't have a job and they are paying for my college education. I felt scared because I can't find a job anywhere and I don't want to lose my college education.

So this evening my worst fear came true. I was visiting them and my mom came across my journal and read something I wrote when I was 14 or so. She banged on the door of my room and barged in. At this point, I could no longer hide the truth from her. I finally told her I was gay and I couldn't help it. She was scared, and she said "You're moving with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air". I whistled for a cab and when it came near the license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror. If anything I could tell that this cab was rare but I thought now "Forget it. Yo Holmes, to Bel Air!" I pulled up to the house at around 7 or 8 and I yelled to the cabbie "Yo Holmes, smell ya later!" I looked at my kingdom I was finally there, to sit on the throne as the prince of Bel Air.

>buying mac
>is that a good deal?

You're buying it as a status symbol not as an act of fucking frugality.

No, I got a 2012 17" with a i7 and two SSDs in RAID for a little over 300€

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trapenispenispenispenispenispenispenispenispenispenispenispenispenispenispenis

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

Retards, the older laptops are great, but I laugh at people who buy it full price

can you find one for cheaper on ebay? then it's not.

according to geekbench stats the fastest macbook pro was released in 2014 so there is literally no reason to buy a new one.

>morons unironically buy macshit

o i am laffin

>buying used laptops
why are macfags so poor?

What the fuck did you just say about my daddy, you little bitch? I’ll have you know he graduated top of his class in the Navy Daddies , and he's been involved in numerous secret raids on my little pu$$y, and he has given me over 300 confirmed cummies. He is trained in sexual warfare and he is the top squirter in the entire US bedroom forces. You are nothing to him but just another slut. He will fuck you the fuck up with power the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying shit about my daddy over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of daddies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the cummy storm, maggot. The cummy storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your pu$$y. You’re fucking dead, bitch. My daddies can be anywhere, anytime, and they can fuck you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with their fingers and tongues. Not only are they extensively trained in bareback intercourse, but they have access to the entire arsenal of the sex closet in my dungeon and they will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable asshole off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. My daddies will squirt cummies all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, bitch.

t. mac fag

Just get a cheaper windows laptop.

i hate windows

Why? Shitty touchpads, batteries, screens, also macOS is perfect for a laptop OS

It's nicer looking, cheaper, and way more practical since it isn't legacy software.
The dongle life is not for me.

>2015 Pro
>dongle life
wut

those """computers""" still imply dongle life, it's just that the 2016 ones went overboard with it

>SD card slot
>two USB 3.0 slots
>2 Thunderbolt slots
>HDMI out
>analog audio in/out
what do you need a dongle for? firewire? I don't think any new PC laptops have it either

It's just banter fampai. Don't take it too seriously.

Any decent computer should have 3+ USB ports and RJ45.
>inb4 DOA memebolt

>memewire
wat

So for you need 3 USB ports and ethernet?
WUT

what are you going to do that you need 3 usb ports on a laptop? three memory sticks at once? also if you're really going to wire yourself down with rj45 than you might aswell use a dongle for it

Not him but can't you just use a chromebook for all of that?

>shitty screen
>shitty touchpad
>shitty battery
>shittiest OS ever
nah, the touchpad alone makes it worth more if you use it in your lap or bed

I'm talking about real computers, not starbucks machines.

Because when I carry a computer I expect it to connect to most things available in the world.

How is that any different than a macbook? It's not like you actually use your laptop for any serious thing.

>I'm talking about real computers, not starbucks machines.
than get a workstation not a laptop

ease of usability, the most important thing

Already have, obviously only a macfag would be poor enough and do stationary work on a laptop.

But how do I carry it in a datacenter or to a client?

>build desktop with same specs for half the price
>use leftover $1k to buy a 80-100 inch 4K 240fps TV

Aren't chromebooks designed to be idiot proof?

>Already have, obviously only a macfag would be poor enough and do stationary work on a laptop.
he was talking about a facebook machine, who was talking about stationery work?

literary what I said, shitty bait

ease of use =/= idiot proof
other companies can't even make touchpad as good as shitbooks have because of patents

Why would you spend 2000$ on a facebook machine?

see

How much are they now?

depends where you live, if you bother browsing craigslist a few times a day, for example, I got a 2012 i7 for 300 eur, perfect condition, macfags are stupid and buy a new model all the time, lots on sale

>shitty screen
>shitty touchpad
>shitty battery
>shittiest OS ever

This. Macs are literal shit.

...

Oh sorry, chromebooks* (:
