The college pussy probably.
When you buy a Mac, there's an inherent implication that you're not a manchild and thus don't play videogames. It's a superior device, and has a soul that cannot be "ported" to the P.C.

You generally have Apple products to show them off. Even though the people you generally show these off to probably have PC's and actually do real work on their comps. Apple faggots generally work at gay bars.

why even consider a mac
>>52256670
because apple just werks
>>52256670
To be fair the the iMac has a 4k screen. Though just get rid of one of the graphics cards and replace it with a 4k monitor and it's all good.
>>52256335
Bullshit. Macs never crash.
>>52254743
There's so many reasons to shit on Apple hardware other than gaymes, yet you choose gaymes.

Still don't get how Apple can get away with gouging retards like this.
Fuck man, I wish I could exploit the stupidity of the masses.
>>52256741
what's the point of a 4k screen if interested graphics can't do anything with it? I honestly don't understand why apple adds so many useless frills to what should be a 600-700$ computer
>>52257000
because expensive computers are useful for more than gaymes

Lets say you're a CS major in college; if you do your entire degree and never code in C# you will have better compatibility with libraries than Windows, have access to proprietary software that Linux doesn't necessarily have, and you don't appear to be a poorfag to plebs.
>hurr durr macfag
I chose to spend $1400 on the XPS 13 and have it dual booted with Linux and 8.1 and don't own Apple products

wanting a decent computer that just happens to have a graphics card dosent make you a child Gpus are for allot more then gameing Don't come crying to /g/ when your itoy is unresponsive and slow in four years because you only have 8 gigs of ram and no gpu.
>>52257206
LOL I'm a Apple faggot and I have no real response to why these shit computers cost $1500. I guess I will just have a comeback about people being manchildren for not buying them!

HAHAH, well one...hes using windows....2nd that looks worse then the PS3 version when it launched.

>>52254743
Stop comparing "all-in-one" computers to desktop computers. All in ones are meant to take up less space compared to traditional desktop PCs by not having a tower. The 4k iMac is the best all-in-one computer for it's price range. I can't even find a 4k monitor with the same 4096×2304 resolution as this imac except professional cinema ones that cost over $1200. At least you get a free computer with the iMac.
Other all in ones around the same price point doesn't have the same specs as the imac

>>52256670
Wow! You included everything except the most important part, the monitor!
It's funny how /g/ thinks the only thing people do with expensive computers are play kiddie games with it.
>>52257650
What did you expect for $1500, I mean, seriously?
>>52257673
>What did you expect for $1500
Are you fucking shitting me?
I mean fuck me, at least all the other extremely expensive PCs and even all-in-ones have the courtesy to provide an HDD that isn't complete garbage.
Shit, with 8 GB of RAM and an i5 5675c this thing's barely even decent for video editing.

>It's pretty good for $1800 anon.
No, that's pretty damn bad for $1800.
What the fuck is your idea of "good?"
>>52257175
most professional applications where macs are used are 2D heavy jobs like publishing and editing that don't need a shitty gaming GPU to accomplish
>>52257824
>>52257835
You don't need a powerful GPU to display a 5k display.
>>52257969
I will always laugh at this.
I bet this author is using the $1800 imac without even realizing how shit it is.
>>52257791
Thats stupid my pentium 4 can play flawlessly
>>52257923
>Much better, looks like this AMD graphics performs more than twice as fast as the Iris Pro.
That's...not that good.
In some cases it's not even twice as fast.
http://barefeats.com/imac5k15.html
I'm sorry anon, but I just can't see how any of this is a good value for the prices they're asking.
>>52258047
You need a powerful GPU to use your computer for professional tasks and programs effectively.
See all the macfags in this thread assuming you'd only need a gpu for gaming, that's the real cringe.
You could drive a 4k display on any shitty gpu, but you want something that can handle what you throw at it.
This thread is literally a textbook example of the cancer that has destroyed this board in the last few years.
Everyone ITT seriously fuck off back to Reddit. This stupid low hanging fruit casual shit has been bitched and moaned about by autists everywhere for over three decades now, grow up and actually learn something about technology instead of arguing over meaningless consumer toys and gayming shit.
>>52257650
Apple babies who don't understand the prices of comp components.
>>52258127
Exactly what professional tasks are you talking about? I don't see any problem with the iMac's GPU for 2D applications, I'd be more worried about the limited storage options and maybe memory than anything else with those pieces of shit.
>>52256638
No, actually all Macs are owned by Steve jobs. He will take them all from the world when the time comes.
>>52258160

All of muh buzzwords.
>6s plus has retina display
>Z5 ultra has double the ppi, same size screen
>b-but muh retina
>>52258286
On a desktop/laptop I consider a monitor a "retina" or hidpi display when it has "2k" or higher resolution.
A Guy at Best Buy recommended that I get the Klipsche R6 earbuds. Should I get them? He claimed to be an audiophile.
>>52258062
>>52258382
Kek
The biggest ripoff is easily that +$200 for another 8 GB of 1867 MHz RAM.
You can literally get 2 sticks of 8 GB RAM for $50-$60 nowadays.
>>52258850
The whole thing is a massive ripoff.
>>52258043
Then you also don't need 4k

>>52254743
Do you think people buy an iMacs to play games, Anon? Or did you want an opportunity to post gay porn?
Also, OP is a faggot.
>>52260741
I think his point was that it's severely underpowered
I dont know how im supposed to hate more in this thread
Both apple and video games are for children
Buy a thinkpad and install openbsd or something
>>52260741
Then what the fuck do you buy a $1500 computer for?
To browse the fucking internet?
You're not going to be doing any serious video or audio editing or rendering on an Intel Iris Pro and 8 GB of RAM.
>>52254743
>So....you are paying for exactly what with these other then the brand name?
$500 premium for OSX to be preinstalled.
>>52261068
Anon, you know as well as I that apple buys things much cheaper than we ever can. 500 dollars is you being generous.
I could build a pc with accessories on a 700 dollar budget that will suit almost anyone's needs better than that mac.
700 Australian dollars too. Because fuck burgerland.
You're paying for the right to use xcode.
Why the fuck is this fair, thanks god apple will be cucked out of the market soon
