Why buy a Wacbook when you can get specs like this for half of the cost?

HP OMEN 15 UHD 4K Gaming Laptop (Intel i7 Quad Core, 2TB HDD +256GB SSD, 15.6 inch UHD 3840 x 2160, 32GB RAM, GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, Win 10)

because I need my laptop to last more than 14 minutes untethered from the power outlet

Damn, that looks fucking awsome, def will buy. Just bought a thinkpad x220 for 100.

>4k
>1050ti

What? My 1050ti can do things in 4k just fine.

I would like some serious answers to this.

My 14 year old niece wants a new laptop and - shockingly - she wants a "macbook". She doesn't know any specific model or much at all, just that she wants a "macbook". And she also wants an eyephone.

When I look at the specs of those things and compare them to normal laptops I have a hard time not laughing, those things really do have half the specs at twice the price.

Explaining this to a 14 year old isn't that easy.

build quality, aesthetics, your colleagues won't think you're a poor faggot

>4k
>1050 Ti

>macbook
>intel graphics
>1 trillon dollars

Not sure what you're getting at here.

I guess it depends on your colleagues.

When I see someone with an iPhone or Macbook I automatically think "stupid mind-controlled consumer with little or no ability to think for themselves". You really have to be an idiot to buy something that costs twice as much yet can't do half of competing products.

you don't need a gtx 2090x2 ti gayming edition to do business

I can do things in 4k just fine with my 1050ti.

Like surf the internet?

I can literally smell your cheeto-stained fedora from here

And code, and make music, and edit videos, and look at porn, and so on. Fuck off back to you underage gaymer

If you buy your niece a MacBook you are introducing her to a *nix environment. The downside of all these high spec laptops is that that use WINDOWS. If all she's going to do is word processing and browsing why not get her a MacBook? It has better battery life, much better OS, and it's what she wants?

I used to hate MacBooks too... but then windows decided to go full retard

Hey that's my laptop
I've broken this thing in so fucking hard
First dual-booting off a usb-stick into xubuntu, then accidentally nearly bricking it, having to get W10 reinstalled, losing all my shit, then figuring out how to make a disk partition so I could boot up Ubuntu as my main OS, then discovering the terminal, then discovering libreoffice, then discovering vivaldi and icecat, then discovering vbox, then discovering xfce and now my DE is riced to the nines. I can access most everything with only keystrokes.
She's come a long way slogging through all the shit I put her through, even had to take a fan out because the bearings wore out within the year. But she's still got many good years in her.

5/5 would buy again.

She isn't going to be pushing the laptop is any way. Specs mean nothing.

>watching porn is less degenerate and manchild than video games
I disagree

At low settings and mostly under 60fps, sure.

what else do you use 4k for

...

a "wacbook", or as intellectuals call it, the MacBook Pro, has superior components and high end aluminum finish, not cheap chink plastic like all the pee-shits (you got that joke right? or are you also dumb?)

in addition to that, OSX is top notch and ultra stable. Good luck with your gentoo, winblows or arch "system.

think different pahjeet.

XPS 15

Well. If she buys this with HER money i see no problem.

Just let apple feed on people idiocy.

And mac book is nothing more than thing to show everyone and say "Hey poor loser, i can buy overpriced shit cus i have money and you dont because you are losers:

It's really fucking simple. I need to be able to run XCode and the iOS Simulator, for that I need OSX. Sure you can rock a Hackintosh, but that shit becomes super janky on laptops. Also need Safari for testing purposes.

I can run my a x86 build of Android and iOS, have a decent looking UI, everything I need to spin up my dev env, a pretty functional package manager (brew) and still not look like a spergy fuck with a mobile 1050ti.

And still rice my fucking terminal and run Vim like a weenie. And Triple booting is a thing, fuck yeah.

all those elif , can't u use a switch in whatever language is that?

Just a generic screenshot from google images my dude. But yeah you could, and then have break spammed in there. Personally I find the elif more readable, but more dense :/
