Why $1200?

Oh, so that's why you hate it - you're a manchild that doesn't do anything productive on the computer. kek

They're fucking useless for almost any engineering applications and you can program in literally any language using Windows.

What's wrong with buying things for their looks?

Sight is a sense and people who can afford pretty things tend to surround themselves with pretty things.

This anti-macbook sentiment seems to stem from a small group of angry poor people. Ask yourself why they are angry.

I'm sure you do very productive things with your computer. This is just your Sup Forums break from productivity.

The only reason I'm switching to apple is because I can't stop playing video games when I should be programming.... FeelsNoDisciplineMan

I mean, I'd never buy a laptop with that low of key travel, but the touchbar also includes 256GB of NVMe/PCIe? storage instead of 128.. unfortunately the touchbar does hurt overall battery life.

Probably because they are still pretty expensive to make and the Air still exists.

At least they adjusted non touchbar mac price to something less obscene.

Well, it also has a faster CPU and while touch bar itself is a meme, the fingerprint reader is pretty cool. Just not 500 fucking bucks cool.

A laptop is pretty much the worst device for gaming. It lacks the portability of handhelds/phones and the experience of a desktop.

> video editors are a niche market
Premium laptops are a niche market too.

yeah good luck using bash.
Also name at least one in which macs are useless.

>I thought
found the issue

I get that premium laptops are a niche market. But are macbooks an exception?

For instance. In my law degree there is a vast majority of macbooks. These people won't ever need to edit anything. They only wanted shitposting machines. Now, I'll give you that IOs is pretty straightforward if you are willing to play nice and accept the options you are given. But it's so overpriced and yet so common I can't really call it a niche market.

Good point.
