What's your excuse for not having a macbook?
i don't need one
>>45688557
Selling mine to buy a Chinkpad t420.
I'm not a faggot or cultist.
Poorfag. only reason.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't want one, but they're too expensive. So I'll manage with my memepad for now.
I already have a laptop (tablet PC to be exact).
I'm using better OS with a better kernel, which is designed from the groud up as POSIX and supports non-shitty file systems.
I'm also heterosexual.
>>45688557
Cause I do not want to look like a cunt/trustafarian/teen/middle class mom
Didn't we have this thread a couple of days ago, with the very same pic?
>>45688634
>I'm using better OS with a better kernel, which is designed from the groud up as POSIX
so, BSD/Solaris then?
>>45688678
GNU/Linux destroys Darwin/XNU. No, OS X has little to do with BSD.
But I do. I own a Macbook Air.
The screen is absolutely shit, but the battery life is god-tier.
>>45688704
>GNU/Linux destroys Darwin/XNU
except in POSIX compliance where linux gets destroyed by os x
I'm straight ..
>>45688724
No it doesn't you idiot.
OS X isn't even POSIX at the core (e.g. HFS+ isn't posix-y).
Just because Apple got that fucking seal of approval doesn't mean jack shit. It's just for fun boys to make them feel better.
Please tell me what exactly about Linux isn't POSIX compliant. GNU has some minor differences, which can be removed with POSIXLY_CORRECT env variable.
Overpriced.
>>45688750
>Just because Apple got that fucking seal of approval doesn't mean jack shit
yeah man, fuck them and their official certificate, certificates dont mean shit in the real world
>It's just for fun boys to make them feel better.
:^)
I currently do not have the money. Would a Macbook be better than a custom built PC?
>>45688557
But I do have one. I got it for CS at uni and I like it.
>>45688793
In the real world POSIX doesn't mean much. Surely much less than performance of the kernel. And linux is far more per-formant than darwin.
>>45688557
I do not partake in having penises shoved up my ass.
It's too expensive.
Because apple products blow and all your paying for is a logo :3
>>45688557
Because I'm not a pleb.
>>45688557
I prefer desktop computers at home and tablets when I'm out and about.
>>45688895
>tablets
full fugging pleb
I don't want nor need what you are shilling.
2poor, and archaic mobile workstations are my fetish.
>>45688557
Firstly it's made by child slaves in China.Secondly you will never get the best deal hardware wise if you buy a Macbook.
>pro tip : you pay money for the brand - really how dumb are you buying that shit ?
>>45688557
Because I already have a Vaio Pro which is far superior to Air
>>45688557
I don't feel like burning 4k to buy a mac with 300$ parts
>>45688557
Because my Ideapad is as good and half the cost. I also avoid the moral dilemma of supporting faggotry by avoiding Apple products.
joke's on you. i have one.
>>45689024
Do Ideapads play 4K 6gorillionbit anime?
Macbook Pro master race here.
I had a Macbook Pro. I sold it and am no longer suicidal.
I have a Windows 8.1 battlestation for muh games, a Thinkpad x201t running Kubuntu for whatever, and a Samshit ARM Botnetbook that I take along when I do computer repair work. Why do I need a Macbook?
>>45688557
I'm not gay. Sorry, I just love pussy too much to turn into a faggot and buy apple products.
>>45689133
>owning a laptop makes you suicidal
sounds like you're teetering on the brink there.
>>45688557
got x1 carbon with arch
I have an XPS 14 that works perfectly well.
I like my Elitebook, also I like dual booting Windows and Debian. I have no reason to use OSX.

Macbooks are for faggots, people who want to get shit done just get a windows/linux laptop. Though linux would be better suited for the technological nerds out there - would still get more shit done than a shitty overpriced macbook
>>45689385
How do you "get shit done" on an OS that doesn't even have driver support?
>>45688557
I like black things.
>>45688557
>What's your excuse for not having a macbook?
I have one. It's an Air though. Kinda shit but dat battery life.
no rMBA
>>45688557
Don't need one, shitty old p8700 inspiron still gets the job done
>>45688557
Because I bought a Surface Pro 3 instead :^)
No money. Spare me some kindly bitcoins though and I'll join mac master race

having a thinkpad
>>45688557
Because for the same price I can buy a laptop that serves my needs equally well and still have enough change to buy a pound of coke.
I need a machine that actually does work and doesn't just look pretty to teenage girls.
>>45688557
>Friend goes all crazy about how great macs are

It hurts
I have a high spec desktop and a decent laptop that didn't cost 1200$

into the trash it goes
>>45690129
lunch breaks*
>>45688557
I don't really hate myself that much.
>>45688823
Depends on what you need. If you don't need a laptop, you'll definitely get more bang for your buck building your own PC. If you need a laptop, a macbook may or may not be best for you depending on your needs.
I can get a laptop with the same specs for half the price. So, no.
>>45690129
if you are honestly enough of a retarded sack of shit to actually think mac are 'pieces of shit' then theres nothing I'll say here that'll save you from remaining a pathetic sorry virgin shit stain.
>>45690129
Case in point
>lunch-brakes
>brakes
breaks?
I rest my case.
>>45690275
macfag detect
>>45688557
Too weak, not upgradeable enough, non-replaceable battery.
this
>>45688557
Because I really don't like OS X, and so I would be spending more money on hardware than what it's worth.
>>45688557
I have no use for one.
Laptops have very little use in my life. I've got a t60 with an ssd for surfing the web and typing up documents when needed as well as a compiler. Besides that I mainly use a desktop and anyone who buys a mac desktop is a fucking idiot.
>>45688557
a 12 inch macbook air retina is the only one I would want
ITT: sorry losers that missed the tech train, make pennies in other trades yet come here to claim superior opinions bc noone cept their whore mothers gives then the time of day irl
Sorry, I never joined the Apple cult.
im broke + i dont support the gays
I'm not a fag
>>45688557
I have one.

Prove it, nigga.

I love it, but fuck they are expensive.
>>45690617
Are you fucking retarded?
>>45690637
yes.
For the same reason I don't wear my pants on my head.

>>45689846
this
>>45689925
That's only, like, 2 cans.
>>45688557
I already have what I need. Desktop at home, tablet and phone on the go. I do not need to spend 800$+ on a laptop that will be outdated in the next year or two and my demands as a user do not require the latest and greatest.
I don't feel the need to belong to a certain group of individuals
I do have a macbook pro because I'm not poor and care about the quality of the products I purchase.
I have one. It's nice; Great keyboard and nice touch pad. Only thing I dislike is the OS, but I can run bootcamp so that's not really a negative.
Because I have two
>>45688557
My PowerBook didn't break
>>45692225
>Windows on any computer
>anything but OS X on a Mac
You're multiple levels of retarded.
>>45689925
Or you can stop being poor and buy both the MacBook and coke.
>>45688557
I despise apple
>>45690676
You don't have genitalia to conceal on your face? I think that's the case with all Mac users
>>45692438
Unless the MacBook is worth the difference in blow I'm not interested.
Redpill me on tablet PCs. How do they work? Can I make them freetard? Can they play anime?
>>45688557
I wanted to get one and install ganoo loonix on it but I heard that was fucking stupid, and I only want to use ganoo loonix because reasons.
So I decided against it.
Is it fucking stupid?
>>45692602
Anime? Yes, easily.
Arch, debian etc... No good lord no don't do that. Its hard to do so, and everything is in a terrible alpha phase. You'll be carrying a brick
>>45692646
That sucks, I fucking hate wingoys, how does Ubuntu touch stuff work?
>>45692585
It is
>>45692656
its for a very selective amount of phones. No word on tablets. Sorry but don't expect anything linux for tablets for another 5 years at least.
inb4 android is linux
im poor
>>45688557
Because I'm not an idiot.
because I don't suck cock
>>45692663
You're aware of just how far off your face you can get on a grand's worth of cocaine, right?
>>45692791
You're aware of how much longer a MacBook will last me than a grand of coke?
I do
and its shit
>>45692791

>dock and general screen layout is retarded
It's merely something you need to get used to.
>firewall comes turned off
To be fair though, the average guy doesn't need it sitting behind a router that firewalls, and I expect technical inclined people to be able to turn it on. I'd be interested in the reason it comes turned off, though.
>gaming sucks
It's not meant to be a gaming platform. If anything you could still bootcamp.
>14% market share
Well obviously, the price isn't for everyone.
>>45692918
Yeah, about as long as the cheaper alternative, if that.
>>45693017
>It's merely something you need to get used to.

>>45688557

Because I own 3 macbook pro's.
>>45693069
true
windows does everything wrong so for someone as retarded as you it might take some time to learn the right way.
>>45692617
please respond
>>45692617
Well you lose a lot of what makes the MacBook a great device, but if it's worth the money to you I don't see why not. Linux support is pretty good.
>>45693281
Is it worth the money? I just want to program, write papers, 4chan, use youtube/vimeo, and watch animu, and feel pretty I guess but that shouldn't be an actual concern.
>>45693302
What programs? is it small scale stuff? Just get a thinkpad e.g t420. It can do all of what you have listed here for dirt cheap. They're reccomended because they are the best quality for the price not just a meme. Macbooks are more for specific music making, and art general things rather than /g/'s past time
>>45693302
Then why not just use OS X?
I don't really see how any of this is handled better by gahnoo.
