Need a new laptop

need a new laptop...
do some research
think "anything except Apple", because I know from Sup Forums that it's overpriced for its specs
research
research
realize there's nothing as good as Macbook Air for that price ($999)
>tfw I realize I fell for the "Apple=expensive" meme

your point?

can you find something with that spec with same built quality

Yes, XPS 13.
You stopped making these stealth shill threads for a while, what happened?

Not OP but I'm just some random guy that actually likes Macs/Mac OS and occasionally creates Threads like these.
Just saying, some people actually like the products without being paid for their opinion

>Totally not a shill guy, I devote hours of my day to create and reply to threads about macs for free
The fact that you thought this narrative would somehow be better than being a paid shill speaks volumes about your mental state.

Haha no, i'm not creating these daily or even weekly... Just wanted to point out that there are actual happy customers of apple on this board :*

we know there's faggots on Sup Forums m8

3 rupees have been deposited in your bank account

Don't spend it all in one place

XPS 13 is better overall if you're looking for a t. applefag

>tfw xps 13 starts at 1500$ for me

what kind of ipad?

If you're "research" led you to the Macbook Air, you truly are a total retard and the Macbook Air is perfect for you.

Enjoy your thick as fuck bezels and shit-tier specs.

Pro 9.7"
Love the thing.

>OS is functional

well....................fuck. time to switch from windows.

...

Asus Zenbook

so they make an air with mediocre specs (not ABSOLUTELY terrible for similarly-sized computers, i.e not comparing to some fucking 4 lb $700 dell tank of a laptop) ... but then they give it a retard-tier screen, large bezels, and make it all silver, a sign of low-class compared to the black, grey and gold/rosegold accented "patrician" models.

Apple's lineup is so fucking retarded that if they just removed the shitty bezels on the air, and improved the screen to around a ~1080p, they would be the best-selling laptop apple sells.

They already did, it's the MacBook. The MBA is fucking dead man walking. They gave it a spec bump but otherwise the hardware hasn't changed in years. The new MB is the true successor.

>throttles in youtube

Guess that's typical for all of Apple's trash nowadays.

No, they didn't.

The "macbook" is a 12 inch screen with grandma-tier chicklet keys with no travel that costs just as much as a macbook pro. In fact, in Canada, the macbook base model costs $50 MORE than the base macbook pro.

Admit it, there is no fucking sense with Apple's current line up. The only reason they don't make the air a more physically attractive option is because they know their vain users will flock to it.

The only thing I'm holding out on Apple for is an SE2. Their shitty laptops have been dead in the water for a few years now, considering I can just hackintosh my XPS

Have you actually tried using one? It handles everyday tasks better than the MBA. The thing can actually do a decent amount of normie-tier gaming too.

Yeah, and when the MBA originally came out it was hundreds more expensive than their pro lineup. Give it time, it too will come down.

Great post user. Thanks for improving the standards of Sup Forums.

What if I want to use software like Sketch or Final Cut Pro or Xcode

>final cut
Even Apple's marketing team doesn't use that crap

DO IT user

2nd hand macbook airs are god tier and can be gotten very very cheap if you have a keen eye

i got my 256gb 2011 MBA insanely cheap of some idiot who thought the battery was fried but infact the charging cable was intermittent

replaced charger, secure wiped, installed debian + cinnamon lived happily ever after - its the perfect machine, doesnt break my back like my old lattitude and yes it throttles but i have decent i7 desktop for heavy loads

also there are lots of parts available... i replaced a broken headphone jack and battery for someone else.. was very cheap

butthurt: the meme - ignore

Answer me this Sup Forums, why does everyone laptop out there have a problem with dead pixels except for Apple?

Cigar cutter

I don't see dragon dildo in the picture

Nice penis guillotine

>this thread

thanks... protip: cigar cutters make really nifty wire strippers
wait i need a dildo to post on Sup Forums now ? missed that memo
>Shit trackpad
>Shit build quality
Bitch please the aluminium build and trackpad were its flagship features... no one else was on that level in 2011

Nice meme, but those pics are like 90% factually incorrect. You can shitpost them as much as you want but you just look jealous that Mac hardware is nicer.

Either you are a paid Apple shill or just badly misinformed.

The Air is not a good buy brand new. Maybe if you can get it used for like $300. The screen is horrible and the processor is from 2014.

If you want thin and light laptops for a reasonable price check out the image attached.

Because Apple has low tolerance for issues in parts. They spend shitloads making sure everything is perfect and sell parts that don't meet standards to other companies. That's why Macs cost like $400 more than a PC, besides muh profit margins

I'll sell you my macbook for 700 hmu. I got a newer one so I don't need this one anymore.

>t. mactoddler

Macs are fucking trash, and their sole purpose is to milk gullible morons.

Competitors of rMB 12" are maxed out tablet devices like thinkpad x1 carbon tablet, dell xps 12 or samsung galaxy book.

If you compare a xps13 with a macbook you're retarded. It's competitor would be MBP.

For a power user it's a great SECONDARY device. For most normies it's sufficient, and for the normiest normies there is the current iPad Pro setup.

In fairness, it is incredibly hard to discern a bright pixel in a 2560x1600 13'inch display.

>macshit
>power user

topheh

what are you talking about?

It doesn't matter what products are "MEAN'T" to compete with. If you price your shitty m3-processor laptop MORE than an XPS 15 then say, no, the MB is supposed to compete with the XPS 12.

Whatever iteration of shitbook comes out needs to be about $300 cheaper for it to be competitive. There is no reason currently to get a MB over a MBP.

What the fuck are you talking about, anyway, I wasn't comparing the XPS with the MB

The truth is, in terms of processing power, MB isn't competing with x1 carbon, it's competing with a fucking $600 Xiaomi air.

the mental state of this thread worries me. Who would really want to spend money on a facebook toy? Why does everyone I know at work have a macbook also have parallels for windows too? the only thing osx is good at is emulating the better operating system.

Second-hand HP Elitebook or Thinkpad X1 carbon.

Wtf, I want to be a part of the Apple ecosytem now.

That picture is pure cancer.

ASUS, you shill

Fucking seriously? samsung.com/us/computing/windows-laptops/notebook-series-9/notebook-9-pro-13---128gb-ssd--8gb-ram--np940x3m-k03us/

It's $50 less, comes with an s pen, is actually upgradable, and won't throttle to shit when you do anything more than keep 5 tabs open at once.

That took me less than 1 minute to find. "Research" my ass.

>I NEED NEW FACEBOOK MACHINE HMMM MAC IS BEST AT FACEBOOK SO MAC IS BEST COMPUTAH YOU ALL LIED TO ME

How about the new vivobook for $500...

shit screen. stop being poor and get macbook (retina) 12 inch
good enough

>tfw named david

Atm I only have an iPhone SE, iPad mini 2, and 11-inch Air, though

don't buy a MacBook Air, the display is garbage. 

The problem is the way you and most Sup Forumstards compare it. Comparing it by pure specs your opinion seems right. Adding the opportunities the MB or a tablet offers yours is obviously wrong. Why is this? The current MB USP is portability. The advantage is that you can literally put it in between your buttcheeks and take it anywhere without a hassel. You don't even need a desk to use it you can easily use it on your lap. You don't need an outlet just bring a power bank. If bought into apple environment than you can connect to other devices of your easily if not you will probably adapt your workflow to the one hole that rules them all. It's a on the go machine that makes your computing as easy as pulling your phone out of the pocket with enough power to meet almost every needs of a normie user.

Comparing it to the tablet you can attach a keyboard onto the best thing about the macbook is that you can put it on your lap and just type without worrying about the setup falling off your lap. A samsung galaxy book has also hinges, however, it's built into to samsung ecosystem. It comes with an oled but Windows but it specs end at 8GB of RAM which is imo not future proof for windows, at least, in my experience.

However, if you would use your macbook as stationary device it's stupid to get one. I use one at work, and I work at 5 different workspaces and it easy to have it with me and use it as a secondary device while working on another machine.

dont post your adress, mr mcdonald mullen, can be dangerous

In that case the air is just not enough

and even your new bank card number°°^^
apple users feel secure indeed

thank me later

The mid 2013 13" has been my main machine since I got it.

I've edited photos, rendered UI mockups, carried it everyday, played games on it, and used it to get through college and the first 2 years of my career with no regrets.

It could use a new batt. but honestly no one expects L.Ion to last forever, and I can always just roll up the street to the Apple store to get a new one put in.

There's a fair chance I'll never buy a non-Apple computer again.

As opposed to any other thread here? Or most of the other boards?

What did you do to your font rendering?
Or did Aplel do that to try and get you to upgrade to retina?

did you or your mum crash that bimmer??

i love hires desk photos

Then look for Lenovo Ideapad 720s

>calling your overclocking a 'turbo boost'
>not calling the SSD a 'hyper dimensional light speed storage device'

man apple has really gone downhill after that Steven Jewbs died

>eating da poopoo
>thinking its real
the only newfag here is the one who thinks all the apple bait threads are real and not just a bored 14 year old who wants to be le meme troll

Turbo boost is intel's branding not Apple's

im comparing it by price bracket you faggot

if youre using portability as your means of compariso, i can build a might fine xps 13 for $1500 that is twice as fast as the MB and has the same footprint as an xps13 is the same size as a macair 11 inch

try again

Get an iPhone X on release. If you have not begun to love it after about 2 months then switch back to poordroid and never look at Apple again. If you like it, go all in.

is about 1200$

Heavier, shitty battery, windows, fans, coil whine and probably some more downsides. Not considering the ecosystem. Never heard of a dell phone. What's the advantage of power hoarding when you know that you don't need it? Is it for comparing penis length?
