>13‑inch Now with Force Touch trackpad, fifth-generation Intel Core processors, faster flash storage, and longer battery life from $1299
AYY
>>46935972
i'll take 2
Thinking of selling my 13" MBA for this. What's the new battery life like?
>>46935972
I'll take a thinkpad x250, they have trackpoint buttons back.
They updated the 13" but not the 15" with Broadwell
WTF Apple
>go on about this amazing new keyboard
>don't put it in the Pro model
>>46935972
>tfw not sure if I want this or 12" MacBook
Seriously the screen size alone is making it tempting
Holy shit I just headed over and looked at the new macbook pros, the cheapest 15-inch is $1999!
>>46936115
>>46936045
LOL, that's just awful.
>>46936045
No one cares about fuckhuge 15" laptops.
13" is where it's at.
>that feel when you know you will never experience apple force touchpad
being poor in eastern europe sucks
>>46936162
>15"
>fuckhuge
I don't see how you people can use anything less than an effective 1440x900 workspace.
How do you deal with 1280x800?
>>46936242
My 13.3" Yoga Pro has a 1600x900 resolution.
>>46936209
just try out at an apple store you poor slav
>>46936255
It's 2015. The lowest resolution you should be using is 2880x1800.
>>46936242
I changed it to the 1440x900 workspace.
>>46936263
there are no apple stores in my country and if there would be some, they would be in very few most populated cities
>>46936265
I literally cannot see shit on a small screen with more than a 1080p res, so no thanks.
>>46936288
>Doesn't know how high PPI displays work.
>>46936285
Scaling is disgusting.
>>46936326
I bought a Surface Pro 3 the other day.
Then I launched Photoshop and the text of the UI was like 2 millimeters high. I brought that shit back to the hsop instantly.
>>46936347
>Windows
There's your problem.
>>46936242
The 13" goes up to 1680x1050 effective workspace.
>>46936354
I don't even see the point anyway, anything over 1080p on a 13" laptop will just destroy your battery life.
>>46936373
see the second half of >>46936326
>>46936380
My 2012 Macbook with a battery that can only hold 80% of its original charge can easily get 5-7 hours and it has a 2880x1800 screen.
The battery life impact is not anywhere near as bad as you think.
>>46935972
New MacBook:
2lbs
13.1 mm thick
Intel Core M processor
LED lit keyboard
2304 x 1440 screen

Who would even consider the macbook.
>>46936326
>Scaling is disgusting.
Why?
>>46936527
Blurry.
>>46936454
>Surface Pro 3
>$799
is this really true you americunts?
do you really can get pro3 for $800?
I read about insane battery life when you use keyboard with additional battery in it.
>>46935972
It seems comfy tbh.
>thin and light with good battery life, college students will love it
>gets the *most essential* interfaces that you interact with all the time (aka screen, keyboard, touchpad) right
>the keyboard has probably the best feel of any dome keyboard
>it's affordable, nothing crazy like 3k
Of course it's gonna be successful.
It's perfect for what people do most of the time, i.e. browsing the web, writing papers and presentations, watching movies and series, etc. .
>>46936539
I don't notice any blurriness over the "Best for Retina" option.
>>46936539
OS X uses vector graphics for all of its UI, so the scaling doesn't matter shit
>>46936572
Well don't try looking for any then. Ignorance is a bliss.
>>46936558
>$1300
>affordable for college students
You know nothing, Jon Snow.
I don't wanna sound like a faggot but I have to say it.
This is why I hackintosh, I built a mini ITX rig with a H97 mobo with BT/WiFi, i7, 16gb of ram, and a 256gb ssd for under $700.
The price of these laptops is just shit compared to the performance they provide.
>>46936582
>OS X uses vector graphics for all of its UI
You've never opened the sart file have you?
It's raster.
OS X renders your desktop at a higher resolution and then downscales it.
http://www.anandtech.com/show/5996/how-the-retina-display-macbook-pro-handles-scaling
>>46936584
I guess so. /shrug
>>46936600
People don't buy Macbooks for their performance, they buy them because they're expensive, feel expensive, have perfect software and hardware integration and run OS X which many people agree is superior to Windows.
>>46935972
What the hell is a "Force Touch trackpad"? I don't speak Apple.
>>46935972
OP can you post that wallpaper?
>>46936588
Of course it is.
At least for most of Europe, and I thought US had higher incomes on average.
Any low/mid-class kid from a family with 2 working parents will be able to afford this, easily.
Heck, even with a college job it's doable, and it's a machine that you keep 3-5 years easily.
>>46936454
>touchscreen
>shit keyboard
>windows
trashed
>>46936624
yep they do have that oging for them, which is nice.
>>46936629
Pressure sensitive touchpad
>>46936656
I think you're out of touch. Most college students I know can barely eat, and even dual income parents doing well for themselves aren't too eager to drop $1300 on a laptop when they can get some shitty Asus for $4-500. You didn't see nearly as many MBAs until they dropped the price to $1000.
>>46936354
Wayland will save us.
>>46936380
160 - 190ppi is ideal for laptops with minimal scaling issues. Also I'd rather have a calibrated 1440p display than an average 1800p display any day.
>13.3" at 1080p is 166ppi
>14" at 1080p is 157ppi
>15.6" at 1440p is 188ppi
>17" at 1440p is 173ppi
>>46936624
People buy Macbooks to fit in and because "lol I don't know how to computer and I heard it was easier". Smart people but Macbooks for OS X.
>>46936609
>>46936609
How do I see this blurriness, dude? I'm seriously sitting here looking at my rMBP with a magnifying glass while changing resolutions and I just don't see it.
>>46936712
The market Apple is doing well in right now is college students. It's "cool" to have a macbook, so dumb students will be pressured into buying their product to fit in. Just like beats headphones. Their target is rich kids who have money and want to fit in, which is pretty much every well off student. At least here in the US, the division between the rich and poor is large so if they aim to be the "premium" product, there's a more than adequate market for their overpriced metal rectangles.

I don't know how you can't see it but you're better off that way I guess.
>>46936454
Surface Pro and MacBook have same size batteries. (42Wh and 39.7Wh)
Microsoft is obviously lying about the battery life if they claim to get the same with a much more power hungry processor.
I literally ordered an old Retina 13'' last Thursday.
Should I just send it back?
>>46937681
Yes
>Same amount of USB ports as Thunderbolt ports
>useless waste of space because muh innovation
>>46936712
I'm in UK.
My student loan (9000£/year) pays for full tuition.
The maintenance loan (7500£/year) pays for rent and living expenses (food, books, transportation).
I get a 3000£/year (non-repayable) bursary, because of low family income (ok in my country, but low for UK standards).
This money is literally vacation money.
So, I have my tuition and living expenses sorted, without working or asking a single euro from my parents.
I also have the extra 3000, which I use for travelling and films/cameras.
I also work part time some months, for extra money for travels.
A kid with parental support? They're really golden.
Unless the system is vastly different in US.
Whats my cheapest option for a yosemite compatible mac?
the shilling is real

Buy a MacBook Pro or Air and use it for 5+ years
>>46938302
That is remarkable.
This week is gonna be fun.
>posted from my SP3.
>>46936128
you realize competitive pcs cost the same amount of money? the dell xps 13 costs even more
>>46938518
*dell xps 15
>>46936242
Sorry to burst your bubble but not everybody uses software with a million toolbars filling half the screen.
i hope apple keeps bumping up the ram speed so that the integrated gpus can really start to shine.
Just ordered the new 13 inch Macbook Pro.
What should I expect?
>>46938655
A sore anus if you did not apply any lube.
>>46938655
Housefire
>>46936013
Are you retarded? there's obviously an incoming case redesign for the Pros.
Apple literally did this exact same thing when they introduced the original Air and then released the unibody MBP.
>>46936045
They don't make quad-core laptop broadwell processors yet
>>46936750
not the other guy you're talking to but it should be quite noticeable.
isn't this a windows 8 lock screen wallpaper? also, it looks like shit, someone forgot how to photoshop.
>>46938776
It is.

No thank you.
Okay people. We created a thread here :

The best idea so far is >>46938760
>>46938928
Oh I forgot this was /g/ you blebs can't even reinstall an OS.
>>46936286
If you are in Poland, I personally know Warsaw has one. The store is called iMad.
the force touch trackpad sounds fucking terrible
>>46935972
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME
I JUST BOUGHT A RETINA 2.5 WEEKS AGO
>>46939021
>reinstalling an OS in a brand new machine because it comes with STDs courtesy of the manufacturer
No, thanks.
>>46938880
It's not dead.
1) broadwell quad core mobile processors aren't out yet. Biggest reason. All 15 in MBP models have quad core processors
2) They never update the 15in MBP line at events that aren't WWDC or their fall events. It'll most likely be updated at WWDC in June
Does apple do any sort of clearance discounts for their old models? My mom is looking for a new laptop.
>>46936454
Maybe I don't want to use Windows or Linux., regardless of what the specs are.
>>46939294
If you go to an Apple Store tomorrow, they'll usually accept returns a week past the normal 14 days when new products are announced. But you have to contact them right away
>>46939294
what's a Retina 2.5?
>>46938302
>The entire point of the new MacBook’s existence is to be a lightweight computer that you can rely on, all day.
>This is entirely why Google’s finding so much success with Chromebooks; they’re simple, last forever on a single charge and are fairly light for people that just don’t something more powerful. Apple’s new machine fills that niche with a higher-end computer that won’t break the bank like a MacBook Pro.
Did they REALLY just compare a $1200 laptop to a $200 one and try to paint it as a budget solution compared to a MBP?
Looking for a new laptop.
Can I just botcamp this shit and play La-Mulana and emulators on it well?
>>46939548
This is Apple we're talking about.
To Apple customers, $1200 is cheap.
>>46939548
you're paying for the Google one with your soul
>>46935972
>Core M, not even Core U
>1.2 GHz
>$1300
lol
>tfw I want to sell my sp2 for the new macbook but even if managed to somehow get it sold I wouldn't get more than spare change
>From $1,799
Fuck you Australia.
>>46936347
Windows sucks monkey balls at scaling properly to very high resolutions. That's why everything looks uncomfortably tiny.
>>46935972
>2015
>still not a touchscreen
Apple fails once again.
>>46939402
look on apple's website for refurbished models. Or look at best buy for open box items.
>>46940160
I know right? I got excited when I saw $1299 thinking it was also AUD.
Well. Lucky I have a high paying job because of where I live and all and $1799 is still not that much of a stretch.
>>46935972
why are they even more expensive now? I was interested in getting the baseline 13" retina but I was waiting for the refresh, but now they've went from $1399 to $1549 for a baseline model. dafuq that's like $1800 after taxes&recycle fees for the lowest end rMBP
>>46938432
posting on a 4.5yr old Macbook Air.....runs like a champ. Core2Duo Master Race?
>>46935972
>longer battery life
extended from 9 hours (11 in) to... 9 hours?
apple pls
>>46938869
read the first 5 reviews and it confirmed all I need to know .... you get what you pay for.
>>46935972
Is a macbook pro even worth getting until they upgrade the 15 in model?
