Name a better laptop sub 800

...

ThinkPad X220

xiaomi notebooks

Hahaha /thread. Also x230 if OpenGL 4 and Vulkan interest you.

Why is it better?

>Around same speed (as MacBook pro 15 2015)
>New battery
>Worse resale value

Are there any other advantages except battery? I have no preference between macOs and Windows.

>it's a I've made up my mind on a macbook but want to be proven wrong and waste everyone's time with shit arguments thread
go fuck yourself

Wtf I'm just kind of out of the loop with laptops and I need one for University.

My initial thought was a used MacBook pro because
>Better value (compared to new laptops)
>Good build
>Pretty fast

I started this thread because I was ignorant to the alternatives and so I looked up the recommendations given in the thread and I don't really see why they are better.

Reminder that a $500 laptop utterly destroys the latest $2800+ Fagbook "Pro."

what's a laptop?

What is it exactly except for a place for discussion of technology?

I'm not asking people to review laptops.
I asked for suggestions, looked into them and then wanted to start a discussion.

Are you experiencing buyers remorse or something because such a reaction to a simple valid question is not normal for a mentally stable person.

MACTODDLERS BTFO

RETARD FIGHT!

Macbooks are fucking amazing for what they are trying to be. Honestly nothing beats them, however the xps 15 comes close.

They are definitely expensive though, so poorfags like you need not apply.

>muh specs
Neckbeard detected

If you need a laptop for university, you don't need something as fast as a Macbook Pro. You're better off with a Macbook Air or similar. And to that end, I don't think you're going to find anything better than the Xiaomi Air series. Even the base models are more than fast enough to do office stuff, although maybe not large spreadsheets. No fans, great battery life, well built. The age of Apple is over. Other hardware manufacturers have caught up. Even the Chinese have caught up.

>tfw I unironically love using my Macbook pro

It just feels so nice to use. Idk what it is, lads

>Idk what it is, lads

it's called consumerism, user

>Sup Forums is NOT your personal consumer review site.
>(except when it's about the right brands)
kill yourself retard

Mactoddlers will defend this.

15":
I wanna see the MacBook pro 2015 versions that are sold for less than 1200$. These things are sold for 1500$+ used as long as they are in a good condition. So something like a xiaomi Notebook pro is almost half the price for almost the same product and also new.

13":
The 13" model is not as fast as current laptops. It's a dual core don't expect much

There are only three really good things about MacBooks: the case, the screen and the battery life.

Also they don't come with acceptable graphics performance unless you are willing to spend even more.

Reminder that it never has been about raw power. If you want power, you build/buy a desktop.

Mobile means power usage and weight are more important.

Reminder that macbooks are so fucking shit that chromebooks with Atom CPUs perform better than them.
