Again what does Sup Forums hate about this thing again?
source, fucko?
buy it then you fuck
that's all wrong tho wtf
These are actually rumors, but a lot of people that has predicted the specs right a few times said this is the route that Apple is going.
Two fucking thousand dollaridos with a """student discount"""...
My
Fucking
Sides
>upgradable
Yeah. When you're buying it.
Build a better one for this price.
Apple has used AMD gpus for about a decade now, why would they switch to nvidia all of a sudden?
LOOK AT ME
I PAID 1000 BUCKS FOR MY LAPTOP
AREN'T I GREAT? 1000 BUCKS!
I HAD TO SAVE A YEAR FOR THAT AMOUNT, BUT WHO CARES? FUCK POORFAGS!!!
its a made up price
>I HAD TO SAVE A YEAR FOR THAT AMOUNT
you are the poorfag
i make 5k a day in passive income
Desktop with these parts
>7700k (destroys any laptop chip)
>gtx 1080 (do I even need to compare it to a 1050?)
>32gb 3200mhz ram instead of 2400
>same nvme 512 drive
>any z270 board
There you go
>Apple has used AMD gpus for about a decade now
The MacBook Pro had an Nvidia GPU 3 years ago.
>shitty Radeon 460
Fuck off nvidia faggot, it's a pretty great GPU.
2013 and 2014 used Nvidia.
>Only has usb c ports
>worse battery life
>bad keyboard
>meme function keys
$1,000 for a macbook? Maybe the cheapest one they have, try $2,000+ for what OP is talking about.
The reasonable answer for an average Sup Forumsentooman would be a desktop with similar specs and a cheap chromebook running linux for note taking and document sharing.
Is that how much you make shilling for this shitheap?
They overheated like fuckall and if they used it 3 years ago why did they switch AMD? why would they switch back fucko?
>really noice cpu
>shitty gpu
The 1050 is weaker than the 460, its the 1050ti thats slightly better than the 460
And even then the gpu is only really there to stream media at higher resolutions
Doing anything professional that benefits from a decent gpu is just laughable on a 1050
Basically youre paying 2000$ for a mismatch of random hardware thats decent, but really not that powerful, and for the package it comes in
And dont get me wrong, i love the physical feel of the macbooks, the hard edges and alluminium are almost erotic, they look fantastic, but the specs are just underwhelming for the price
Id sacrifice the good looks for a better gpu in a heartbeat
Not to mentiomn the mediocre i/o, dongletopia, thermal throttling and chiclet keyboard
I wouldnt mind a chiclet keyboard if the keys were closer together
nice desktop user, but what about the display, speakers, keyboard, mouse/trackpad, webcam and battery bank that lasts the whole system for up to 9 hours?
>why would they switch back fucko?
Why wouldn't they? They've done it before.
/overheating/ general?
In the alternate universe where Tim Cook got the cancer instead of Jobs maybe
Only need a display. Any 2016 $300 4k monitor is already better than any laptop display. As for speakers, those on laptops are just as weak as a phone, it's just like they don't even exist.
>The 1050 is weaker than the 460, its the 1050ti thats slightly better than the 460
user, you're confused, the RX 460 (Desktop) ISN'T the same as the 460 Pro (Mobile), not even close tbqh. And to be fair, you can't compare the 10 series to Polaris on mobile, Nvidia is much faster on this category.
he was a retard but why would you need a desktop to run off a battery bank? Do you not know what UPSs are?
fair point.
>Any 2016 $300 4k monitor is already better than any laptop display
Does it get 500 nits of brightness?
You can get a desktop with these parts for less than what a mac costs tho
Yes, also full Adobe sRGB and P3 gamut color spectrum, and higher refresh rate.
That's exactly what I'm saying though user! You could not only get a matching desktop but also a shit chromebook and run linux on it for note-taking and fucking around.

>Rumours
>It "might" throttle
That's not a very big might.
I'm still using a mid 2012 non retina 15". It's fine. Every new model makes me feel like this one is better.

Easily better than a mac display
>t. mactoddler in denial
mods, you can tear it down now
objectively, I haven't had one of these but it looks to be good. Mac displays while accurate leave a lot to be desired since I personally enjoy vibrant colors
>$2k
>with a student discount
un-fucking-believable
For 2k you get an underpowered cpu and a 1050 with an apple logo on it. Or for 2k you can get a 7700k, a 1080 and spare money.

It is very comfortable. Buy glasses maybe

Thanks user, just bought it

nah i'll stick with my mbp 2011
>$35 for no dead pixel guarantee
That alone is worth it for a laptop that expensive. Meanwhile with chinktrash like Applel...
>Gaymen shit
>Says it is better then MbP
I could take a shit between 2 pieces plastic and it would be better than a Mac
Go back to school kid, and come back once you have acquired better taste.
People are honestly brain dead in this thread, you can obviously build a desktop for like $700 that will kill this thing, but it's a desktop not a laptop.
Its not practical to bring a tower where every you go plus a monitor, keyboard and mouse.
They have no reason to dump AMD because its more profitable for them
ahahaha great man, desktops are for NEET's
