Hi Sup Forums I consider myself a real techie. Wrote for Buzzfeed no biggie I'm just like anyone else haha
So im looking for a new laptop and Im thinking a Macbook Pro will do everything right.

Why shouldnt I buy Apple? The quality is the best around. Everything else gets viruses and crashes all the time

If you can't figure out why an extra $100 for a computer at checkout pays for itself after viruses, then you should probably get out of the field

I dont own a Mac but i gotta admit, that looks good.

That computer would definitely fit your use case of writing for Buzzfeed.

>apple
>botnet

Nope

Are you trying to deliberately make it look like you want to be called a shitty troll?

Sadly i'm poor, but the mac design looks pretty based.

You already know you want the fagbook pro, so just go ahead and get it. Nobody here cares enough to reeeee out over your consumer choices, user.

You probably want something to shove up your ass. People who do this like punishing themselves. For that purpose you would want something without as nice round corners, like a pineapple or a cactus.

Is this some big bang theory reference?

>Wrote for Buzzfeed
Fuck off.

>Nobody here cares enough to reeeee out over your consumer choices

Literally and factually incorrect.

and for god sakes man get a nice mechanical keyboard and an adapter so you can plug it into your macbook

it's a good laptop, i recomend you format the drive and install windows 10 then

Just buy a fucking laptop, any laptop. You like apple? Buy apple. And get outta my sight, nigger.

Macbooks are the new IBM thinkpads.

Got a touchbar 2017 Macbook and can say, no, they do not run linux just fine. Audio is fucked, Wifi is shit, only runs on 2.4ghz, and range is terrible. suspend on lid close doesn't work.
So almost thinkpad

I use Loonix, but I still have 0 gf

Looking at the ports on the side, it's one of the new ones, which is an absolute pain to use

Just a bit. I don't like they removed the magsafe charger, and having to get dongles sucks.

You'd have to be literally retarded to buy a MacBook Pro these days. Chromebooks even make better shitposting b8 on Sup Forums

This copypasta is hilarious. Almost all of these points are untrue and it was obviously written by an autist.

Just buy one of Asus' Zenbooks. Same design, better hardware, better display (res+colors), better peripherals, better/more connections/ports, better battery life, better cooling and all that at a lower price. And you're not locked into the Apple ecosystem or into all the other Apple bullshit. Just install Arch and everything will work OOTB...

Just an example:

Nothing personnel kiddo.

What's worse are the ones with touchbars. I was given one of those for work a while ago. When resting my hands, my pinky would rest on the escape button, sometimes causing me to lose work. I'm sticking with my 2015 Mac book or getting a Windows PC for my personal laptop unless Apple comes to its senses.

>Never lose data in cloud
What? People lose data on Google on a daily basis. Via user error, getting compromised, having it removed for whatever reason Google feels is right.

There are viable reasons, including apple, to not use Google.

if this was accurate Blackberry would be on the right, dwarfing those two and making their charts barely visible.

Any laptop with a display and battery life as good as the rMBP costs more or hardware is even worse locked down then a Mac (hello Surface)

Get cancer

Its better owning a Dell XPS 13 or System76 Galago Pro for linux support. If you only use Windows, then buy a Razer Blade Stealth. If you do not care about warranty, buy a Xiaomi Mi Pro.

Don't you have a glass of milk waiting for you to dunk Hawaiian pizza slices into?

If you want to be stuck with what another member mentioned "fagbook" which I totally agree with then go ahead but understand that they are prone to attacks

Get that bullshit out of your head that they are cyber invincible

And fyi you can't upgrade anything in them you basically are stuck with the same storage you buy it with from the start.

Those meme screens are worth it
