IFixit grades MS Surface Laptop 0/10

>The Surface Laptop is not a laptop. It’s a glue-filled monstrosity. There is nothing about it that is upgradable or long-lasting, and it literally can’t be opened without destroying it.

Yeah, it truly sucks.

This is how it feels to use closed source software. It's like they want you to hate them.

they want the apple audience
and they actually captured a good portion

There was a thread about it over here already
Anyway my opinion:
Microsoft wrapped literal chinkshit in a macbook design. This thing is a literal scam. I haven't compared but I bet the SSD is worse than the similar priced macbooks anyway.

So basically they are trying to fool people by pretending to have better value for money than a macbook, but actually they don't have that. They just shoved higher specs so they can point to it on paper while they skimped out everywhere else. Literally a scam to make you think it's better than a macbook. Just get a macbook.

>Get a Macbook
No, that's literally the second worst thing you can do (after getting a Surface)

>no screws or method of access
No shit. You're supposed to throw it in the garbage when something happens(tm) to it.

>Connectivity differences include: an SDXC card reader and a second USB port in the Air.
...and the fucking dock port on the Surface?

Isn't capitalism just great?

It is.

Where's the socialist laptops?

Make glued in batteries illegal already, they're guaranteed to fail creating a shit load of e-waste.

I recently upgraded my laptop's ram plus swapped the HDD for an SSD and I couldn't be happier, couldn't imagine being stuck with aging easily replaceable components.

>failure is an OPTION, as opposed to everything being Venezuela-tier
Yes, yes it is.

Why would anyone running a god tier MacOS switch to poordows

venezuela is what you get when you depend too much on capitalism

>reductio ad venezuelam
Seriously, saying that only makes you look dumb. Everybody knows that:

1- Venezuela is not fucked up due to socialism, it's because of American imperialistic interventionism.

2- Capitalism is doing wonders for places like Haiti, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, etc.

So please stop embarrassing yourself.

Those places are fucked up because of niggers and Islam

now get back to ribbit

>racist comeback
Why am I not surprised?

>lose an argument
>"I know, I'll just lose it harder by appealing to more fallacies and being a jackass!"

Nice!

...

>Capitalism doing wonders

You are under 16 right?

Microshit POOJEETS on a fucking suicide watch!

TOP KEK

What a piece of shit that garbage is.

Yeah like, nevermind how Islamic and Sub-Saharan African countries were superior to Europe for the entirety of the Dark Ages, and the only way Europe managed to turn the game around was finding entire new continents inhabited by peaceful, unarmed peoples, subduing them and then stealing all their wealth and finally using that wealth to destabilize the entirety of Africa and the Middle East with colonialism. White people are so superior!

Stop replying to trolls!

Can't you detect irony?

>ONE USB 3 port
>proprietary garbage surface connect port
>Windows 10 S
>odd resolution but good aspect ratio
>EVERYTHING soldered to the mobo
>impossible to repair

what a piece of garbage, it looks pretty tho. sucks cause i actually wanted it, maybe it will get better in the next version but knowing Microsoft it will only get minor spec bumps

The air has a thunderbolt port too

>Thunderbolt 2
Might as well have an onahole. At least then it would be useful for something.

>Blame the imperialist aggressors: Since 1914.

>Capitalism is doing wonders for...Somalia
Yes, yes it is.

sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0147596707000741

This time it actually is imperial aggressors. Or well, it always was, least for small countries.
I mean, you'd have to forget that the USA intervened in Russia's Civil war on the side of the royalists.

>Seriously, saying that only makes you look dumb. Everybody knows that:

Go on...

>1- Venezuela is not fucked up due to socialism, it's because of American imperialistic interventionism.

Haha, okay, you can stop now.

>If I don't like it it's a fallacy.
Sorry but the problem with nigger and islamic countries is they have niggers and muslims, that's just reality

this is a shitty device, but insistently calling it "literally a scam" just makes you and the rest of us look like we're retarded. it's not a scam. it's not dishonest. if you buy this and then later feel like microsoft perpetrated a dishonest scheme in selling this to you, then you're just a gargantuan fucking idiot.

if you can't measure your words and use them appropriately, don't post. you muddy the conversation and force people who are otherwise "on your side" to have to double back and clarify your retarded shitposting.

ITT: apple fags rabidly projecting their own faults onto other products

>Sub-Saharan African countries were superior to Europe for the entirety of the Dark Ages
wew lad

I've heard the islamic one before but never heard this one. What are they teaching in these liberals colleges these days?

If communism wasn't so shit, they would win. If your system needs every other country in the world to play nice while you try to change their governments, your system is shit. The communist internationale was a thing and the USSR sent thousands of men to Spain.

Communism is shit, but the US is also an extremely hostile colonial power.

Who said summer meant lower quality bait

>if you can't measure your words and use them appropriately, don't post.
Ironic because I have no idea what you were trying to say with this mess of a post

So why would anyone buy this over LG Gram Hp spectre or dell xps??

So was the USSR, and to a lesser extent China. Capitalism won that fight.

Not sure how 'capitalist' the united states could be when the major industries:
Military, pharmaceuticals, agricultural, computing, automotive, finance are all HEAVILY subsidised by the government. Military is funded by the pentagon, that's hundreds of billions, pharma is funded by public research, agricultural- subsidies, automotive 'GM is too big to fail', and finance 'trillion dollars for the banks- Obama'.
How is this capitalism? This is a state run economy.

Yeah its refresging to see tech companies like Spacex taking a extremely capitalist approach compared to these wasteful companies sharing beds with the feds. Spacex undercuts Boeing on sattelite launch by 300M... That's capitalism, motherfucker.

SpaceX is sucking on that government teat too, just not through NASA.

Are you expecting me to disagree with you?

America has become increasingly state-run with detrimental effects on the economy. Tech prospered because there was little to no regulation initially.

There's a difference between competing for government contracts while undercutting your competitor, and being a sole-provider for the government and cranking your costs as high as Congress lets you.

yeah all those no bid contracts...

>all these useful idiots defending capitalism
>in a thread about how corporations are fucking them up
>in a board that is against proprietary software and pro-free software

Ironic.

Yes, which is why there is no competition for government contracts any more. Let's see how well GM, or the miltiary competes.
Or how about IBM? where are their competitors?

All the competition for American business is overseas. This 'competing for government contracts' hasn't been true since all the companies that won the contracts bought out the companies that didn't.

Also the competition isn't "who is the best" it's "who donated the most to my political campaign"

I swear, if you people would just be willing to go for true communism the world would be a better place.

...

Hmm... So you know that Boeing gets one billion dollars per year as a subsidy from the federal government just to stay in business, right? And they only sell overpriced rockets to USA. Yet the company that generates it's own revenue by selling $60M launches to companies and governments all over the world is? Spacex started by selling to Malasia. Fuck off with your shilling.

It's easy: just delete Sup Forums and get rid of all the edgy stormfront trolls so threads can stop all being derailed into politics.

Please nigger you're falling into the american framed political discussion. The US wants you to believe that there's no such thing as little state control. Communism in america land implies Stalin style super-state control. It also requires it since people who say 'no' to giving up their belongings require force to separate them from it.
Communism is shit.

I reckon mods go full Pinochet and permaban commies

>everyone I disagree with is a commie
It's sad when your political belief is so fringe you have to appeal to labeling your opponents to legitimize your stupid political trolling.

Stormweenies fuck off already.

Are you implying that unregulated capitalism leads to monopolies which obstruct free market and are bad for literally everyone except themselves?

Why is it always communism (a theoretical construct that no state has ever implemented, instead you're thinking of dictators like stalin or some banana dictators) against hardcore liberal capitalism? What about social democracy, having free markets with some regulation ensuring the health of the market and workers' rights?

>the Soviet Union was bad, therefore we can't have healthcare

>criticize capitalism
>you're automatically a commie

You guys do realize that corporate shills are using that cheap trick in order to stop us from moving on from capitalism, right?

Considering when the battery dies in a few years you can't even replace it, I would consider it a dishonest product, yes. It's like pic related. All too similar to another better product. It's not quite this bad but imagine we can take away the Microsoft logo and put a chinese name on it, then tell me it's not a macbook knockoff.

>that only makes you look dumb.
>1- Venezuela is not fucked up due to socialism, it's because of American imperialistic interventionism.

There's no such thing as "dishonesty" in a free market, you dumb moralfag. That's why it's free. Nobody is forced to buy it, there's this thing called CONSENT in every transaction. Now fuck off, you goddamn communist.

We'd really improve Sup Forums if mods permabanned commies.

I agree, what does that have to do with anything?

Literally no one in this thread advocated for communism at any moment. We just criticized capitalism.

>1- Venezuela is not fucked up due to socialism, it's because of American imperialistic interventionism.

Hey dumbass, was it the Americans who implemented price controls, was it the americans who started randomly sezing businesses and making it impossible to operate there.

Typical commie denialism of MUH NOT REAL MARXISM, not realising that any ideology like marxism that disregards basic economics will always fail

>stormweenies: you can't delete Sup Forums, it's against freedom of speech!
>also stormweenies: lol ban everybody who disagrees with me XDDDD

>weenies xD
Why is circa 2012 JIDF on 2017 Sup Forums?

No one is forced to let pajeet remote desktop connection into their pc either. It's consented but you are still getting scammed.

I'm not a stormcunt, both are cancerous but commies are infinitely worse given communism's history of murder and oppression and genocide.

Hey if communism is so awful, why does the US need to keep intervening in communist countries to stop them 'falling to communism'? If it's awful then just let it happen and it'll weaken them.
It's pretty fucking obvious that you'd only need to intervene if communism had a chance of strengthening a country, and that'd be horrible for say, a country that relies on cheap export of that country's resources, since the stronger a country is the more bargaining power it has over its own resources and labor.
Interesting how US liberated areas are all shitholes.

...

>ie microsoft didnt pay them
ifixit is the ign of the tech worlds

Yeah Venezuela is a paradise

Hahaha oh wow

>1- Venezuela is not fucked up due to socialism, it's because of American imperialistic interventionism.

Aren't you late to an antifa meeting or something?

MAJORLY, ASSHURTINGLY, ETERNALLY.... rekt!!1

how will anarchist libertarians ever recover??

>was it the Americans who...
It was the Americans who attempted a coup d'état in Venezuela between 2002 and 2004, completely destabilizing the country. The American-gov't funded National Endowment for Democracy still sends money to Venezuelan terrorist opposition groups to this day to help destabilize the country.

And before you play the long refuted "w-we were just trying to save you from le gommunism bogeyman XDDDDD" card, reminder that America supported the communist regime of Plutarco Elías Calles in México. You guys don't give a fuck about ideology or have any morals, you just want to destabilize the entirety of Latin America in order to keep getting easy access to our natural resources.

This retarded "le Latin Ameriga is bad bcs of gommunism" meme must die. Besides Cuba (which is, to the right-wing's disarray, the most developed country in Latin America), no single Latin American country has EVER had a communist regime.

>marxism disregards basic economics
Economic illiterate detected. You're probably one of those idiots who just took an ECON 101 section and thinks that automatically qualifies you to talk about economics, but doesn't even know what effective aggregate demand is, or what a monopsony is. Either that or you're a shill.

That's just social darwinism at work, lad. Nothing wrong with it.

Aren't you supposed to be at the sweatshop floor for the 14th hour straight, alongside your wife and kids, just to earn a famine wage at the end of the week, since you love capitalism so much and hate all the progress that socialism, unions and organized labor have brought to our society?

Look at North Korea for an example of what the US fears will happen when countries go communist. It's a human rights nightmare and also a military threat. It's not good for anyone, least of all the North Koreans.

We fear the US, not some propaganda bogeyman, dear shill.

Maduro and Chavez have been nothing less than brutal dictators and should be actively opposed

Read for yourself you degenerate antifa shill

hrw.org/news/2013/03/05/venezuela-chavezs-authoritarian-legacy

Lets see dumbass:

>price controls
>randomly seizing business production
>arresting business owners at random
>make it impossible for enterprise to operate

edition.cnn.com/2016/12/10/americas/venezuelan-government-toy-seizure-grinch/

North Korea is actually pretty average as Asian countries go.

>inb4 unfair comparison to that literal welfare state called South Korea
You mean the country that gets gorillions in aid from the US? Funny how capitalists suddenly are defending a welfare state.

But seriously, NK is not that bad. Stop believing all the propaganda.

Thanks for the American propaganda links.

You guys mad because Castro took away all your slaves and freed them? Must've been so sad for your parents :´(

This thread is utter shit. Even worse than threads that shill for a special product or >insert company name here IS FINISHED

All the countries that America 'helped' away from communism are ALSO human rights nightmares on the level of north korea.
This is not a distinguishing feature. The reason America hasn't toppled north korea is because their state actually DID give them some power.

>muh merican propaganda

Damn I knew antifa was fucking stupid but goddamn.

When its got like fuckwits like you no wonder marxism has always been a complete failure

what happened to this thread? you all should be gassed.

What does Sup Forums think of the Dell-badged surfaces? I have opened a few of them up at work and they are very easy to get into and put back together. I've only ever encountered one MS-specific surface and they look like toys.

>North Korea isn't that bad
We've reached peak cuck!

youtube.com/watch?v=5xs--To414I

I know you'll just call this propaganda (which is ironic), but I'm just putting this out there so the uninformed won't fall for your cheap rhetoric.

Now fuck off back to your cancer board

Man I sure hope journalists have a track record of not making up stories about human rights issues to make it seem like America is in the right

>14 images / 88 replies

>whine about human rights violations
>post Pinochet helicopter memes

>Drumpftards: "CNN is fake n0000z!"
>also Drumpftards: post CNN links to prove NK is a "human rights nightmare"
Can't make this shit up!

So you're incapable of understanding or grasping the concept of moderation and rational thinking... and also lack sense of morality or basic human compassion -- gotcha.

Your idea of a political/governmental utopia would be absolutely miserable.

I hate far left liberalfags and lazy scum leeching off the rest just as much as the next guy, but at least I understand that humanity, as a working/happy/prospering civilization, we need to have a bit of order in the form of government, rules, and a decent safety net for the low IQ niggers, the crazies, and all the poorly raised folks.

Darwin happens to do his own thing and doesn't need our help in regards to "weed-whacking", but it's going to take some time, and we need fulfill this time gracefully & humanely.

i agree with this, even chinas pretty shit, especially with their rights to information and also the fact they outlaw meditation

>Human Rights watch
>propaganda

Typical moronic antifa shitposter

>VENEZULA IS A PARADISE
>ITS ALL PROPAGANDA

Seriously do us all a favour and fucking live there, the less commies the better

And of course, in true MS fashion, they fuck it up entirely. For all the complaints of Apple devices being locked down and it being difficult to open them up and all that, it's always at least been possible to open them up and put them back together again.

>Venezuela
We were talking about North Korea. Is your attention span that short?

But anyway, I thought we had already established that Venezuela is shit due to American intervention! What are you talking about?
