Why would anyone buy a mac, ever?

Hey comp.sci student here, I was looking for a new laptop and it reminded me how inflated macbooks are, what do you think?

Studying CompSci in a university is a big waste of time,

Enjoy your garbage screen and nigger tier build quality.

Because mac users have more money than brains. Also you should consider getting a used T420 instead and building a mini-ITX PC for home usage. Whenever you need desktop performance you can just teamviewer into your desktop through wifi.

This, used chinkpads or go bust.

If everyone is using a mac, you're gonna be made fun of with your walmart shit plasticky windows laptop

Get a ThinkPad, don't be a faggot.

Not really. Macs are becoming a symbol of homosexuality especially here in UMUC. Here most have those surface pro tablet PCs or cheap HP/acer trash.

Is that also IPS display with 2560x1600 pix?

Aluminium build?

4x thunderbolt 3.0?

NVMe SSD?

Glass multitouch trackpad?

Asymetric fans?

OLED touch screen?

Touch fingerprint reader and deeply integrated to the OS?

Butterfly keyboard?

10 hour battery life?

No?

Then just fuck you and your pajeet-tier craptop!

>symbol of homosexuality

That's the general idea behind them.

You forgot the botnet.

oh dear! a bunch of macfags will laugh at meeeee!!!

The Laptop on the right has a lower Clock Speed, a worse Screen, a sliwer Hrarddrive, probably lower Build quality and a much much worse OS

Oh wow! Another one of these unique and beautiful threads has graced our board! I'm sure this will spark a reasonable and thought-provoking discussion!

That's an i5 with a base of 1.3 GHz (vs 2.5 GHz), also it's an inferior i5. This is not taking into account the constant overheating and thermal throttling issues on the mac.

Both screens use IPS trash and both have similar resolution.

Hard drives are probably the same.

Mac os is a terrible unix clone with poor software support.

Also webm related is a popular "feature".

>Why would anyone buy a mac, ever?

They don't know who the CEO of apple is.

Get a desktop like a normal person you fucking faggot.

*blocks your path*

Get a T420 and upgrade it with ssd and 8 gb ram.

How much do they pay you?

they still make laptops with those dual hinges covered with plastic? haha wow holy shit.

>plastic crap is cheaper than a premium product

My brand new 2015 Macbook Air cost me $799.99 (in 2015 obv) because of a family discount.

worth it.

Aluminum is worse.

>macshit is so trash it performs worse than plastic crap

LMAO

A bargain is most of the time worth it.

Get a 2nd hand T420

>$799.99
>1366x768TN
>overheats
>throttles
>128GB storage
>worth it

The state of mactoddlerism.

that digit sequence symmetry twice in a row

I haven't had that experience at all.

Also, I use the icloud mostly so it's fine.

>b-but botnet
lmao

>1 TB 5400 rpm SATA

:DDDDDDD

Mac shills should be gassed.

this.
At my uni I saw this guy using a razer blade, and holy did he look embarrassed in a room full of macfags that judged him for his shit taste in electronics.

Get a yoga 910 nigga

Used a shitbook air for almost 4 years. Recently replaced it with t470 and I'm never buying a mac ever again.

In 4 years, 4 new versions of shitOS where released. With every new one it became heavier on the hardware, with the system turning clunkier and slower. With sierra, the shitbook was heating up so much that it made my hands sweat if I typed on it for too long and the fan was running nearly at full speed all the time. Not to mention that the screen started turning off when an electronic device like a smartphone or e-cig was put close to it. This after less than 4 years of not too intense use. Basically a scam designed to force planned obsolescence upon the user.

>mactoddlers
>judging anyone else for shit taste in electronics

One guy had a Mac laptop in my ENGR 101 class, and he got judged harder by the owners of Yoga 370, P40 Yoga and X220t laptops for his shit choice of computer (didn't meet engineering school standards) than I've ever been judged for having a P40 Yoga in my ENGL 102 class (full of mactoddlers and surfacebabies)
