You are about to drop 1,600 after taxes. Do you really have the expendable funds or are you a broke college student on a consumerist binge
Either way that money can be put to better use than a meme pad

...

Don't do it.

Don't do it. Question tho, I can get a 2014-2015 Macbook pro for like 50 dollars from a friends workplace, it'll have some minor scuffing and shit. Should I? and can I install some distro on it?

oy vey, I thought macfags are rich? Why would rich people ever need financing options for such low prices??

install gentoo

>$50
better than selling your kidney

stop attention-whoring and buy the fucking thing

homoesexuality cant be cured, yet.

Well I though about saving up for one, the refurbished one are usually a decent value ($200 -$400 off) Is it worth it? I will be used as a secondary computer and, I need something that will last me for a couple years.

Why not the one with the emoji bar?

Just do it user, embrace the faggotry.

> emoji bar macbook without the emoji bar
You had one job.

Get more than 8GB RAM.

You want to know the weird thing about that picture? That's not even most of the Los Angeles area, only the area in yellow.

Literally a giant megacity.

I know. I lived/worked in LA for over a decade (did my university years in Westwood at UCLA, then worked in downtown LA). I never truly appreciated the sprawl until I took a helicopter trip from the valley back to downtown though. We flew down to Griffith Park, then to the beach, then to South Central, then to downtown. As far as you could see in all directions, there was just low one-to-two story buildings sprawling everywhere. It was pretty crazy.

Most of the time it's not worth it but you haven't even mentioned what you plan to do with it, what are your needs in a computer

get the fully loaded iPad Pro with 512GB and don't forget the $100 stylus and keyboard

JUST FUCKING DO IT ALREADY YOU FUCKING PUSSY

If you can justify that purchase with your hard earned money and know it will bring you pleasure then why ask someone else? If you want it OP you get it. Just make sure you know you're making the right choice.

Why? I want you to suffer, and overpay for it to boot.

This.

>8gb ram
>256gb drive
>2017

Ahem

wtf is she drinking? horse cum?

Do you need MacOS for anything?
Y: Don't have much choice
N: You can do better elsewhere

My personal reasons for not having a macbook.

1. Money (yeah, I'm poor and I know it. big whoop. wanna fight about it.)
2. Upgrade-ability. I would probably never buy a non-retina Macbook Pro. I like being able to switch out my RAM and use standard 3.5 ssd/hdd.
3. PC is more bang per buck. IDK, this w1as always a meh for me. I know my Desktop is the important PC.

Do you really need it?
So yes why?
I mean fuck do i know but that's a shitty deal.
It's a okay package for a graphic designer or a bit of video editing.
But if you need more than some basic task just get something else.
Tbqh I have macbooks less than a gaming laptop

>no useful ports without dongles

That's a dealbreaker right there.

USB-C is a very useful and versatile port.

you can get an apple certified refurbished model for $400 less

As long as you have dongles

I don't like apple or their products, but if you like it and can afford, go for it. You should buy what will make you happy :)

You don't need dongles just change your cables to type C

>Talk me out of it.
It's not a Thinkpad.

>all my MIDI interfaces have to be changed to type C
Are you stupid?

Yes

You don't need the upgraded processor. It triggers thermal throttling and ends up running at the same speed as the base cpu.

Haven't we already determined that homosexuality is genetic and not a choice?

do you honestly think that is a better option?

>dual-core
>256gb storage
>2 ports
why would I even need to? get something with more ports and at least a quad-core processor

I own this exact model
Don't buy it.
It doesn't even support linux (driverwise) yet.
The CPU is shitty too

I bought one. Perfect for programming, and video editing

I know I overpaid.but damn the build quality is delicious

> talk me out of it
$1500 for a dual-core CPU with shitty intel graphics kek nice fucking meme

get a fucking thinkpad or a dell xps

Get a used 2014 model that's better in every way

>Gaymen
>5400 rpm HDD

KEK.

With the disk usage of most games that would actually justify the rest of the specs, you could install like 2-3 games.

Dat filename tho

idk when apple releases their models but you could wait for them to come before buying

What the fuck is this shit.
I got a 1080, Ryzen 7 1700 and 16GB DDR4 3200Mhz for 1200 yurobucks.
That laptop isn't 1/10th as powerful and costs more, just because it has a fruity logo on it.
Pathetic.

is that fucking trackpad real

seriously op did you modify that pic? that can't be fucking real

Have you ever considered committing GNUicide?

Reading this thread is giving me buyers remorse
What could I have gotten that's stronger and cheaper (less than 1K)

I'm a video editor but also design websites

one thing i learned from this word is that you can learn to like or dislike things just by learning more about them.
Apple products are like bondies that will jerk you off every day if you ask them but they cant do nothing more, they cant clean, maintain them self or educate kids, basically they are just spending machines designed to drain your life, but then you have those women that are ugly and hard to make them go down to your dingi, but on the other hand they can make decent food when you come home, they go and buy food maintain the house hold and build a social environment around your autistic mind so you don't have to bother interacting with other creatures.
Learn to appreciate features not aesthetics.

Casio watch owner.

Buy a macbook 100%, but not the current version. 2015 Macbooks are god tier, the touchpad, keys, the retina display. For a webdev and graphic designing + vid editing is perfect. Its unix based so you can set up a virtual network, and learn how to do basic web hosting stuff. Install NGINX on it, host a private ftp server and all that mambo jambo.

Best part is the font + awesome design.

t. webdev, have a beast pc for other shit but do work on macbook

That build quality is undeniable though

Plus the trackpad gestures are really really nice. Having come from using Gnome SHell for 4 years, Mac interface is beautiful.

glued with hot glue from apple drones.

Holy fuck don't get this

>1500$
>dual core

with that money you can build a sick high end hackintosh

macos is awesome, but apple products are overpriced as shit.

I'm sorry but what the fuck. Can you actually convert that shitty analogue into reasons why windows is better than macos?

it depends. if you use it for videos get 2017 since it has an advantage for such tasks regarding battery life

Only reason I suggested 2015 is because of the biggest flop of the century; aka 2 fucking ports on a work/business macbook. I seriously don't know what the fuck they were thinking, and I like the apple products. 2015 does manage the battery life just fine. Its awesome.

Let's just say iPhone 6s and 2015 Macbook pro were the best thing to have come with apple ever.

Get a 2012 retina macbook pro for like $500. Still has lots of ports, still has a disc drive, still has that great screen, RAM and HDD can still be replaced/upgraded yourself

>aka 2 fucking ports on a work/business macbook.
It's actually plenty.

Source: I have a 15-inch 2016 MacBook Pro

I was talking about the MB and not the MBP. current pro has 4 thunderbolts tho

I just hate the fact that I can't plug in my brand new iphone to it, atleast if they wanted to make a push for usb-c make the phone cable the same. Little pet peeve on mine, but I can see what you're saying.

It's the best. Just get it.

Unless you get the touch bar version, no it comes only with 2 ports. New macbook pro has been the biggest fuck up on apple. Regular MP is thinner than air and has 1 usb-c + headphone jack. Its literally useless imo. My parents got the air and honestly, its a good machine. If the screen resolution was better I wouldn't think twice to buy it as my go to chill in bed machine. Its awesome

Even Steve Jobber did not use an Apple himself..

Not only are you paying for the high quality aluminium build, but also the hand-crafted software and beautiful graphics of Mac.

ok... I'm not poor tho

it's portable and it really is. you can power it with battery packs. it has enough power for daily use.

Maybe being biased off my own opinion, but I would not want my escape button to be touch. Personally hate the touch bar, but i can the use of it for some people.

The new XPS has an i7 and gtx 950m for the same price.

For $1200 what do you recommend?

>but I would not want my escape button to be touch.
Rebind Caps Lock. It's supported natively.

all you're going to be using it for is shit posting and porn.

my god, how can anyone find fucking anything without a GPS?
>tfw small city boy

For that price I cen get so much better shit, atleast 16gb ram...

If it was worth it you wouldn't need our confirmation, just get any laptop like a cheap ThinkPad, all you'll use it for is browsing and word anyway

>at least a quad-core processor
Why?

I'm a big Mac user myself (using an older Macbook Pro nowadays). I've hesitated pretty bad over the new 'crop'. My current one is doing fine but I would like a newer one.

The 'lower-end' one you've selected supposedly has its SSD on a seperate card (I know they must have overlooked that) but it seems to be a proprietary connection. Pretty much nothing else is user serviceable.

I myself have looked at older Mac Pros but I can't allow myself to buy a half-a-decade old machine for how much they're asking. A hackintosh may be the only route for people like me.

>didnt hear about the trackpad being larger
>thinks its a photoshop

because web browsing, music/video production, etc are all going to be done on the processor - there is no discrete gpu so anything you want to create will be done on CPU. Web browsers are all going to multithreading now, so having 8 threads rather than 4 will also be beneficial if you keep any sizeable quantity of tabs open while, for example, googling shit

dual-core cpus, and especially dual core cpus with a base clock under 3ghz, are bottom of the barrel

MacOS is an aesthetically-pleasing master of one trade.
Windows is the less-aesthetically-pleasing jack of all trades
Linux is the pup that you must train from young but will stay loyal to you your/its entire life.

It's honestly just not a good value for the money.

>256 gb
>Lol 2 ports that require a dongle for real functionality
>Inferior keypad
>Dual core

I like Apple and OSX a lot, but this is just a bad deal, plain and simple.

Get a Mac desktop for your main machine, and get a cheap laptop for portability.

...

>2 cores
>4 threads
>i7
wat

Same as the macbook

2 threads to a core

yeah, that's what's confusing, why would intel cheapen the i7 brand with a dual core?
