CPU has throttling issues, and I say this as a macfag. I'd buy the older gen machine, personally.

>CPU has throttling issues
Is that with light or heavy usage?
>I'd buy the older gen machine
I was looking at that but they don't have Thunderbolt 3 sadly

Unless you're doing actually heavy shit, you probably could save a lot of money and be quite happy with just a Macbook.

I do photo and video editing quite frequently so I'm not sure a m3 or m5 CPU would be up to the task

>0.8 GHz throttlebook

>256gb SSD.

user, if this is your only computer then that shit's weak as fuck.

Otherwise, macbook pros are dank for being a normie if that's all you need it for.

Moderate usage. I'm mobile right now so no link, but google it and you will find some pretty awful reports of throttling down with just basic web browsing.

make a hackintosh if the OS is what you want.

>256gb SSD. user, if this is your only computer then that shit's weak as fuck.
All my files are now cloud based so there isn't a lot of need for more nowadays. If needs be though I could always buy a 2TB external drive
>0.8 GHz throttlebook
Thank you
>throttling down with just basic web browsing
Yikes I'll look into that
>make a hackintosh
More hassle than it's worth in my opinion.

>£1600 for a dual core
That's just fucking hilarious

>hassle than it's worth in my opinion.
but paying 1600 pounds for a dual core laptop just because you don't like windows is worth it?

>Convince me this is a bad idea.
no, i don't give a shit about what you are dogin


but, can someone explain to me why £600 worth of hardware is priced £1600 ?

The build quality is the best!

still overpriced

it has a shiny apple on the back. a shit keyboard and even worse trackpad and the lack of ports hurt me physically.
this is a lie and you know it
Winner winner chicken dinner.

Buy older model, this is just a bad meme laptop

>but paying 1600 pounds for a dual core laptop just because you don't like windows is worth it?
Yeah it's expensive but it's not too bad.
If Apple officially supported MacOS on other devices then I'd just buy a key from them and install it on a Razor Blade.
>The build quality is the best!
This
No Thunderbolt 3

>~2000 €
>Dualcore

If apple cared about build quality, there laptops wouldn't die every time there is a drop of water near it.

Get the ASUS UX Pro model. Powerful quadcore i7, thin and leightweight and even a dedicated GPU. 4K screen of course.

every time

>I do photo and video editing quite frequently so I'm not sure a m3 or m5 CPU would be up to the task

Depends.

Especially if you use FCPX, as it's optimized to use modern hardware like SSDs.Other company's software, you might have a little trouble as they've done shit to optimize software and won't take advantage of things like pre-rendering previews in background and streaming from the SSD. But Macbook is apparently still surprisingly competent.

So depends on the photo and video editing you do, I suppose.

Space Grey? More like Space GAY!

>Yeah it's expensive but it's not too bad.
its really bad. you could get a monster laptop, install windows and get rid of the bloatcrap. or install enterprise + the drivers.

most retarded animes of all time

>non touchbar/touchid
might as well get a souped up last year rMBP

Buy the late 2015 model

nah, it's rather intellectual compared to some other stuff

osx is just linux without freedums and rice

>cow shit tastes better than human shit
>which is why I only feast on cow shit
fuck off retard

>2 ports and a headphone port
W H Y

>Space Grey? More like Space GAY!
>GAY
FUCK.
Well this is the post that convinced me not to.
>non touchbar/touchid
I don't need it
>Buy the late 2015 model
No Thunderbolt 3
>2 ports and a headphone port
I know I'd have have 2 USB C ports and one USB A port

macbook is cool for showing off in your corner office, starbucks, on fairs, public presentations.

else its completely useless. keep in mind there are "[spoiler]no apps[/spoiler]".

newest MBP has NO USB-A ports without an adapter

>newest MBP has NO USB-A ports without an adapter
I know. That's why I said I'd rather have 1 USB A port instead of a headphone jack.
Oops just realised I said "I know I'd have have" instead of "I know I'd rather have"

Can we finally put an end to this meme?

Hackintoshes can be pretty pain free depending on hardware. You could buy a much nicer upgradeable thinkpad for a lot less and just make sure there is a hackintosh config for it beforehand. There are a few out there. Took me about an hour to find configs and have Sierra not including a super slow installation time

it's fucking Mac OS and it doesn't even have a physical F key row anymore
there is nothing to literally support.

it's a bad fucking decision..

>Yeah it's expensive but it's not too bad.
are you joking? a dual core in 2017 is "not too bad"?

>OP

this is now a jail thread

Macbook is great

go for it nigger

fuck wrong thread

I know this is a reposted meme but let me address it, esp the 2016 model which I have.

>can't use any existing TB3 devices
what did he mean by "existing"? I guess this copypasta is a bit out of date. Not even sure this happened outside of a few old devices.

>can't use USB and wifi at the same time
u wot m8

>ultra shit tier zero travel kb
False, the keys are real

>keyboard louder than WWII cricket
Not that loud and not a con. Adds feeling of feedback

>memetouch emojibar
Not a con, maybe a useless feature. It's OLED so when it's off it you can pretend it doesn't exist if you want.

>no USB-A
Only a con for the moment, will be a point in its favor in a few years. Just use a dongle for now.

>no escape
False

>soldered ram
>soldered SSD
>tamper tape on battery screws
I'm combining this into one point, which is lack of replaceable parts. True, but this is not a concern for many people. Apple repair services still exist.

>applel falls for their own thin meme and uses 54WH battery
>2 hour battery life
Dunno what kind of battery it is but it's definitely not two hours. Varys a lot depending on what you do, Apple says around 10 but yes it may be shorter. Not 2 hours though.


tldr fuck this copypasta. you are fake news.
