"Macs are overpriced!"


k
>>
A Macbook is more than just the hardware. I bought a Macbook because I love the aesthetic design. The engineering effort that goes into an Apple product is amazing, and people ignore it because it uses consumer hardware you could find in other computers. It's insane and it's ignorant.

Using OSX is part of the complete package. A beautifully designed aluminum Macbook with an esquisite operating system, that's Unix-based (and I can develop HAPPILY on) and with a UI that was made with time and care. This wasn't a rushed product made by developers contributing to some FOSS project.

That's how I feel. Take it or leave it. As for price.... Apple has an entire team for just making it look pretty. There's a lot of money that comes from the extra effort they do in this part. If you can afford a Macbook, buy it. If not, then don't. But to judge others for spending a little more on a Macbook rather than a lot less on a plastic Thinkpad that they can put Windows or Linux on is not cool. If that's what you want, then you can have it. I like Thinkpads. But I sure as hell wouldn't judge someone for buying a Macbook.

ThinkPad T-Anything Before Lenovo is maximum vapor. I personally owned an old iMac before I left for school, honestly wasn't bad at all. Only thing is I was constantly afraid of a disk or display death, opening those bitches is a PAIN

El Capitan will run on that if you upgrade the RAM but it would be miserable. And otherwise, there's a huge lack of app support for Snow Leopard even though it's a good old OS.

I don't know why people say Macs are overpriced when products that are similar cost almost the same.

Expensive? Sure. But just because apple doesn't sell low end devices doesn't mean they are overpriced.

Fucking hell, just put an SSD in it, upgrade the RAM in case you bought the basic config and be happy till the end of your life. Hell, feel free to upgrade the screen, keyboard, trackpad, cooling mechanism and sometimes even CPU if you really want to.
Can you upgrade the durability on your Apple product? No? Can you upgrade the keyboard so it at least comes close to the thinkpad one? Never? Can you upgrade the device to a point where it is not shit? Not possible? Well then go fuck yourself and your shitty Apple product.
