What's the point. The entire point of using a macbook is to look rich. This will just make you look poor lol

But user, I don't hate them, I just choose not to use them. What kind of maladjusted sack of shit would project hatred upon an intimate object?

honestly? none.
my early 11 13" macbook pro was a dank machine, used it with a 128gb ssd and a 500gb hdd on the cd bay. battery died and got it replaced for $50

i definitely would buy one as a secondary laptop if i had the need, only contender is X220 because shit is under $200...

> being so insecure you base your hardware choices on what other people will think of you.

Speaking of sad sacks of shit..

can't install MS-DOS on it

Sup Forums can't afford them

>he doesn't know what UNIX is

i had a bondi blue imac

Hate them? I love them. I'm running an early 2011 13" MBP with 1TB SSD and 16GB RAM now. I'm going to upgrade soon to a 2015 15" and keep the one I've got now.

> ports, upgradability
You mean just like every other laptop on the planet..?

my main is a mid 2012 i7 w/ a Samsung 256SSD, and 16GB of ram.

I literally have zero reasons to upgrade anytime soon and it's doing everything I want.

Just want to state that I prefer the direction Apple is going with MacOS vs Microsoft and their horrid Win10. Win7 was the last good Windows.

Also for any mc users, fucking dump iTunes and get Swinsian. Plays FLAC, and is far faster than iTunes

I don't like them because it doesnt have a trackpoint, thats all I ask on a laptop in these days.

fair enough

I own a 2011 model and it's trash. It's collecting dust because I don't need the money and I don't want to interact with Macfags that would want to buy it because they're all insufferable twats.

Audience claps.
Now join me in welcoming [mediocre band].
Audience claps.

And It makes Apple more money than any poodroid maker

Stop trying to reinvent the loo, pajeet

here's why every apple user is a fucking retard:
>sees apple ads in TV about how user friendly macs are ("computers for the rest of us", aka for idiots)
>friends recommend apple products because they are apple uses themselves
>"minimalistic" design appeals to the retard, he can't predict that the materials used are designed to be so flimsy to break, also ignores how other products are more ergonomic to use since those aren't just slabs of aluminium
>compares $2000 applel product to the only other laptops he's ever used: $300 walmart trash and is amazed how ""premium"" apple is
>begins to use mac OS and since it's a bit more user friendly he believes it's the greatest thing ever
>now stuck in the apple ecosystem, has to buy a new model every 3 years because some of the hardware broke (planned obsolescence)
>likely a dumb poorfag so he has to take a loan just to buy the fucking computers
>even recommends apple to friends and tries to justify his position with unrealistic claims ("muh special functions only apple has", "I have a higher status in society if people see my computer", "it just werks", "muh special application NEEDS mac OS", "You're just oo poor to afford it and are jealous")

>worst of all, he doesn't even notice how much he has been cucked


tl;dr macfags are fucking retarded

>reinvent the loo

Can’t tell if this is a copy pasta or if you’re actually autistic enough to write this wall of text

MACTODDLERS BTFO

Don't forget, OP:
- 16:10 display
- extremely good speakers compared to other laptops
- fantastic trackpad (beats the shit out of my X220's trackpoint)
- choice between matte and glossy display

Early unibody MBPs are criminally underrated. I love my *20 series thinkpads, but there's no pretending they aren't a massive downgrade in look, feel, and sound.

DELET

Do you (or anyone) have the picture of their manual showing the ridiculous gobs and gobs of heatsink grease they used? the one which caused the laptop to get to 120C+ which could be fixed to less than 70C but somebody got sued for using the pic of their manual.

Also I'm pretty sure that's where that macrumors post came from about "overheating is subjective" since there was a literal shit who insisted it had to stay that way

What’s the matter andreet?
Mad that your copypasta has been destroyed?

I don't use laptops, I use desktops that are 3-4x more powerful and half the price.

I don't know why you need a fucking laptop and need to waste your money at a coffee shop being a pretentious gaylord when you can make better coffee at home with 3 large monitors.

Did you upgrade the OS since you bought it? Any issues? I have the last MBP that was worth buying, the mid2012 13" MBP. I use it for djing and i am afraid to upgrade. Always had issues after upgrading previous macs i owned.

>mac
Found your problem.

What's the point if you can buy a w520?

>OSX is a steaming pile of shit with horrendous battery management
what. stopped right there. I've been 11 hours in my 15" now and I have a 12% battery left.

>IPS HD display

All good points until here
>costs as much as a W520
>performs like T400
Other than that I love classic macs
I've always wanted one but until price comes down I wouldn't buy one
Maybe I'll buy a white macbook soon
I loved those so much

Because this video kinda describes the regular operation of those devices:
youtube.com/watch?v=8FJTK_iNA5s

Low resolution display and no force touch trackpad. They're okay if you want a cheap Mac, but I want a retina display.

I work for a company that WEEEs any machine older than 3 years. We trashed so many perfectly working 2013 MBPs recently.

>piss poor Linux support because of obscure wireless hardware
phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=mbp2016-linux-wreck&num=1

This, honestly Sup Forums should be like twitter with its character limits.

Sup Forums has a relatively short 2000 character limit. Compare that to something like plebbit which has a 40,000 character limit.

Non-retina MBPs are GOAT. rMBPs are nice for the screen, but along with the Air started a downward trend by compromising too much. Current touchbar MBPs are just a mess. I had a choice of getting one for free for work, but chose the older 2015 model instead.

The keyboard, the OS, the price, no trackpoint, aluminium chassis, anal seamen leakage.

If that is what is considered "classic" in the Mac world, then that alone would drive me away.

Thanks, I wrote that pasta myself.

500$ more for a worse product
>muh battery life
non apple products can also limit their CPU power. Except windows and linux treats like you an adult and makes you decide if you want to limit your CPU instead of forcing it on you
