Why would anyone buy this piece of shit??

1,2 ghz dual core processor ? Holy shit it's 2008 again.
No ports, just a single usb type c. I want to plug in my usb stick. Sure thing, let me just pop in my usb adapter in which i can stick my usb stick.

No fan? Great, i'm sure throtling an alread handicapped processor works great.

Only 1200 bucks. Gee wiz, i sure am glad i didnt buy a top notch gaming laptop.

Other than the ONE PORT I can see getting one. I have a 13" rMBP, but it's not like I'm using the power it has for anything (don't edit video or play games). The 12" would suit me fine, assuming the performance of day-to-day stuff is smooth.

>>53539059
>No fan? Great, i'm sure throtling an alread handicapped processor works great
That's why the clock is low, so it throttles less. The next laptop I buy will be fanless, it's just another thing to break.

The goal is instructions, not clocks. If it can perform duties like media playback, internet browsing, work processing, and basic gaming, then why does it need a higher clock speed? All that will accomplish is causing it to throttle, and waste battery life.

You don't know which market Apple is trying to reach here. The Macbook is made for students who want something with a relatively big screen, something light and it has to have a full day battery life. This is the only machine which has full day battery life whilst still being light.

>inb4 dell xps is light

The Dell XPS is quite a bit heavier and bigger, and if you want full day battery you have to get the battery upgrade which makes it even heavier.

I'll take things that don't matter for 500, alex. What really makes a laptop less portable? Width and length. If it doesn't fucking fit in your tiny bookbag it doesn't matter how thin it is. Modern portable storage bulges in thickness to accomodate average books, but not in many other ways.

Thin and light is a matter of fashion. Laptops were thin and light enough ages ago. Only children and people with pancreatic cancer could notice the difference.

I'll also take a laptop that's an overpriced chromebook for 500. I'll take everything for 500, save your virginity, which shall be free. You have just been raped with common sense.

the point of this laptop is that its the most beautiful and portable possible. And runs OSX.

If that's not what you're looking for, don't buy it. Its that simple. I hate faggots like OP that get all trigerred because they see a 'mac' or 'apple' or 'iSomthing' in the name. Literally kill yourself kid.

But sour here is "a computer that is very bad at computing, but good at looking nice to people who like the sci-fi prop aesthetic"

The rest who have one foot in reality are largely a bunch of ugly, quiet guys who frequently forget to shave and wash their hair. Usually 20-25 and with a very small circle of like minded friends. The only thing that separates them from thinkpad geeks is sharing a hardware choice with teenage girls, but, you know, those relationships don't last long.

it's a laptop, not a tablet. sometimes it's a travel machine, sometimes you sit it down and use it as a workstation. you use it at home, you use it at work, you use it in the taxi, you use it on a plane.

that's the point of it not being a tablet. it's a general purpose motherfucking computer and when your girlfriend's mother wants to show you pictures off her camera, you're going to look like a moron digging around for the right adapter

It doesn't get hot if you're not exporting 4K video all day.

Why are you autists incapable of understanding that some people want different things to you? That being said, I'd never buy a machine with one fucking port I don't know what they were thinking.

Oh wait, yes I do. Apple does this every few years, they release a seemingly insane product which everyone says is a pointless mess. Its not about the actual product itself, this product is a public prototype, a stepping stone, its not meant to be amazing its meant to pave a path.

I just loaded the latest Apple Macintosh updates.

Now my machine won’t boot. Well, that’s not really true. When I power it up the Apple comes on. Then the screen gets dark and a little message comes up:

“You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button for several seconds or press the Restart button.”

So I restart. And get the same message. I do it five times just to make sure.

And so, now I’m back on my Windows machine.

Screw you Apple and your ads saying you’re better than Microsoft. Screw you. Screw you. Screw you.

So, last night I was out to dinner with a bunch of smart people. Folks who run their own companies. Folks who have helped many companies get started. Tech companies.

Of course people started talking about my Apple problems. Everyone at the table is a Macintosh user. What was fun is that at one point people started telling me about the problems they have had with their Macs. Many with far more serious problems than I have had.

I tried to turn on my video camera. They all instantly shut up and said “no video.”

Why not?

I dug a little more. It was because they all blamed themselves for the problems of their Macs and I think they also bought into the “Apple cult” which says that if you use a Mac you must be cool. Heck, look at that ad again. Who is cool? Not the PC user.

Now THAT is “brand promise.”

We believe Apple’s marketing so deeply that we aren’t willing to question it.

And then there’s something else. Apple has an ARMY of people who are anonymous who will come and call you every name in the book. I know. They hit yesterday here. I deleted them all, but, dozens, if not hundreds, of comments calling me every name in the book. Over the past year I’ve spent more than $10,000 on Apple products of MY OWN MONEY and if you include the machines I’ve bought for PodTech, I’ve spent more than $20,000. Not to mention my son and I spent two days in line waiting for our iPhones.

Just because there isn't one which is better in every single metric, doesn't mean that the macbook isn't an inferior product to the vast majority of other high-end ultrabooks.

Look up lists of the best ultrabooks published by reputable review sites, the macbook doesn't even appear in the top 10 most of the time.

And it's interesting that you'd challenge me to find a cheaper ultrabook than the macbook, considering it's one of the most expensive.
>>
>>53540062
sure it's not a tablet, but it's not a fucking workstation replacement by any means and clearly indicated by the fucking joke cpu.

i can see your point, but in all seriousness it's really a small hindrance. there's one adapter that comes with it and it offers several ports, so you pretty much have the adapter to have all the ports of the normal rmbp for the occasional offshot you need it for.

I don't know what you're thinking you're comparing. The ultrabooks can compete among themselves, but not with Macs. Doing direct fucking spec comparisons are retarded when they both run very different operating systems don't you think? One machine has software precisely tailored to basically one SKU, the other has to compensate with beefier hardware because the same version of the OS runs on millions of SKUs. Have you ever considered the reason that people buy Macs is to use OS X? No, you haven't. You're a gaymur winbabby who is unable to think of the experience of using a computer past how many FPS you can get in games.

If the other ultrabooks don't hit MY requirements they are inferior to me, it's simple as that. If you want to play vidya on your laptop and somebody recommends you a Chromebook, it doesn't help you. It might be the best Chromebook ever made, it might be free, it's useless for the person in question.

>Look up lists of the best ultrabooks published by reputable review sites
Usually topped by rMBP ... because it's a better machine for most users but if you need something specific and aren't "most users" the top lists are useless. Obviously there are faster or cheaper ultrabooks with more ports but if you're never using them, they aren't a criteria. I know it might sound crazy but not everybody uses their computer for same things.

>cheaper ultrabook than the macbook, considering it's one of the most expensive.
Hardly, most ultrabooks under 1.2k are pretty shit, so you're only getting something noticeable better if you pay more.

>>53542380
I'd like to use it on my lap and have a real keyboard. I don't want to waste my time to make the OS work. Trackpad gestures. Better design.

Surface is a great machine for One Note and I considered getting one just for that and sketches ... but spending about 1k for a digital notebook with Winshit seemed bit excessive. Might give Android tablets another go ... although my last experience with them was pretty shit too. iPad Pro is interesting but again, bit too pricey for what it offers.

Never happened on my desktop either but my laptop was stuck in quite a few loops.

Besides, I don't know about you but when I drop few hundreds bucks on some shit, I want the privilege to decide when to update it.

>>53542899
Why not a third choice? Buy the tech that's best for YOU and not being autistic when different people have different requirements?
>>
>>53542937
Stopping the updates is 5 minutes of work you idiot

>having to mess with registry and install 3rd party software to make an OS usable
Yeah ... rather not.

>>53542985
I forgot applefags feel their OS is like a 5 years old pure girl and doing anything except for clicking on the photoshop or browser icon is like thaking its virginty. My bad i guess.

>>53542985
Are you by any means retarded

An OS is there to make your actual work easier, not to add more things for you to do. If you get off by tweaking the shit, Linux is the way.

>>53543111
That would imply doing anything on windows is remotely hard and tiresome. Which it isnt. Its literally OSX tier.

I'm a web developer, and I use node.js, I also have a beard and sometimes ride a bike to work. I am working on rounding out my hipsterish persona by buying more checkered shirts, and trying to get an asian gf.

My boss thinks that Linux DEs are garbage, so the business just provides macbooks for everyone.

Best of both worlds. Good desktop environment, everything 'just werks', and I get a unix shell, brew is fine as a package manager. Good for webdev.

I also hook it up to a 4k monitor while at work, its nice to see 100 lines of code at once.

I wouldn't buy one for myself, but I see why people like them. The attention to detail and UX makes it very comfy to use.

The fact that you even have to do anything is the problem. Just because something is easy, doesn't mean you want to waste your time on it.

>buy mac
>set it up (5 min)
>install additional software you might need (0 - 10 min)
Will take 15 min in worst case scenario.

>buy windows pc
>set it up (10 - 15 min, if you know all the local policy settings by heart, otherwise you need to research the shit and waste more time)
>remove bloat from Windows and if you're unlucky whatever preinstalled shit there is (10 - 15 min)
>additional tweaks in Firewall, Services and Tasks (10 - 15 min)
>couple restarts because muh drivers (5 min)
>install additional software you need in 100% of cases (browser, music player and vcredist just to name the most obvious ones, 5 - 10 min)
>install additional software you might need (0 - 10 min)
You'll waste 40 min in best case scenario and still have a higher chance that something goes wrong, an ugly, inconsistent UI, crappy trackpad and degradation over time.

Honestly it's the only Apple product I've considered getting. The sole reason I have a Windows tablet is for drawing and occasionally note taking but iPad Pro looks much better for my uses.

I'm just a poorfag though. :(

On the other hand the macbook looks like shit.

The only people who use Windows 10 are Gaymers™ that think directX 12 will actually make a difference in their lives. If you can waste time and you have half of a brain use Linux. if you need something to "just werk" or you're stupid with computers then use Apple+OSx.

The Microsoft shills need to leave.

I don't know why these threads keep appearing. Everyone knows that Apple is just objectively better than anything else on the market.

>Why would anyone buy this piece of shit??
Because it's thin and Apple told them to.

>1,2 ghz dual core processor ? Holy shit it's 2008 again.
If you think clockspeed is indicative of raw performance then you need to learn more.

>No fan? Great, i'm sure throtling an alread handicapped processor works great.
It's a mobile CPU. Why would it need anything more than a heatsink? How often do you overheat your phone doing normal shit?

>Only 1200 bucks. Gee wiz, i sure am glad i didnt buy a top notch gaming laptop.
>gaming laptop

>Kill yourselves macfags
Do you honestly think /g/ Macfags would support this trash? There's plenty of reasons to hate the rMB, yet almost all of your reasons were shit.

>implying rich people want to be seen with hipster poorshit fashion accessories
You do realize that Apple is a lower middle class fashion accessory brand? The rich don't really want to be associated with that unless they are getting paid for it

If it had a dock I'd buy the shit out of it. If I hadn't picked up a dock for my current laptop I'd have one right now.

OS X is simply the superior OS, I'm not even trolling. I've had way more people have problems with 8.1 and 10 come to me as a result of an automatic windows update fucking over their sound, WiFi, etc. than people who own MacBooks.

Are you being autistic on purpose?

>>53546198
I overclock my LG phone to 4 GHz and I had to use a Noctua heatsink. Totes worth it.
>>
>>53539059
All laptop fans are shit and noisy. Unless you have a $3000 asus rog or something. It's a good thing they got rid of their existence.

I can't wait for on-die liquid cooling.

>>53539101
why pay more for inferior products though?
why do you have macbook instead of bugatti rich anon?

I was tempted to sell my rMBP but then I saw how poorly those Core M series did.

Maybe this years model will be better but I want at least 4288U level performance.
>>
>>53539059
my $250 asus chromebook does everything this thing does. retarded uni students still fall for the meme though, there is literally no benefit to spending $1,200 on this thing.

>poorfags defending their poor choices so bad.
Enjoy your cancerous screen and not having a proper OS.
>>
>>53539059
Yes, I would.
>>
>>53539059

It's a 1.2 Ghz Core-M, with 8gb of RAM, and 256gb of really fast SSD storage on the base model.

It runs great when you're actually using it, sure you're not going to be doing any heavy gaming or computational physics simulations on it, but that's not what it's for.

It's got 12+ hours of battery life, and it weighs less than 1kg, that's what it was designed for.

>they literally think they are "unbreakable"
Yeah, a friend of mine was like this. He came home to his fire alarm going off; the hard drive in his PC had melted down or something and was somehow causing some smoke.

He then proceeded to plop down 1800 dollars on a Mac (his first ever) on the assumption that they must be immune to such things. Build quality, and all that.

OP you excited for the new Apple announcement this Monday?
>>
Apple are literally rivaling themselves. Pay a bit more and get a nice MacBook Retina. I've got a MacBook4,1 from 2008 and it works just fine for what I want to do, and the C2D is much more powerful.
