You realize you can only use the 5k display on OSX right? It drops to 4k on any other operating system. Mac OS X is a toy, and barely has any useful software.
>>54030857
>and barely has any useful software.
What's it missing?
You don't buy apple stuff if you're a poorfag who wants the best bang for his bucks to play some shitty games on, you buy them because you want to have a coherent system on all your devices where everything just works without having to fuck around with 3rd party shit just to sync calender entries.
>>54030857
>only 5k on osx
If you have a mac and dont need a bootcamp partition, then where's the problem?
>barely has any useful software
It has adobe suites. And a lot of other suites and software by companies. If there is some niche tool or program that's windows only then there's probably a mac alternative for it. You either don't know where to look or you didn't do it before.

even that thing isn't exactly a price killer, but literally everything else they make - especially the iPhone - is a fucking joke in terms of price. an iPhone 6+ costs more than twice the price of a OnePlus 2 and there is literally no practical difference other than the battery which is worse on the fucking iPhone.

I miss when Apple cared about their displays instead of buzzwords, back in the day they would use nothing but Trinitron's, and when they phased out CRT's their LCD's where among the best, until Retina happened and 60% sRGB trash bin displays became their norm

Mac OS X has everything necessary for developing software, plus MS Office, plus Adobe everything, plus DAWs, plus Matlab. it lacks games and some CAE tools, which can be run through virtualization seemlessly.

They don't exist because no one buys a 13 incher for anything more than facebook, 13 inch is totally retarded for any kind of work and the resolution is ridiculously high, no one needs that.
You cannot even see pixels at 1920x1080 at that tiny screen size, everything above that is meme spouting.

No it's the innovation. Apple has patented keyless keyboard past months which probably implies force touch keyboards that can change layout as you wish, so no more stock problem for localized keyboards. Also skymeme brought ddr4 and many power consumption things which will increase battery life. Most importantly, thunderbolt 3 will bring the possibility of attaching external GPUs. New macbook pro retinas will probably have 4k or 5k resolution (of course scaled for hidpi purposes). All ports will probably replaced with thunderbolt 3 ports that has usb-c interface.

>>54032332
tb2 had shitty interface but intel this time wants it to expand that's the reason for usb-c interface. They natively support everything possible now.

they won't be doing this, apparently it's the new macbook/magic keyboard keyboard for all devices.

they could use the same display again and it would be okay. driving 4k/5k external displays is where it's at.
> All ports will probably replaced with thunderbolt 3 ports that has usb-c interface.
yay, more dongles, but the ability to drive 4k or 5k external displays is great.

Air is the last of its kind
its so sad how apple purposely cripples os x
osx is a direct descendant of NeXTSTEP, arguably the best OS in the 80s and 90s; it had the technology we use today
os x is fast while having LOTS of features, more than any DE or windows have, some are even osx exclusive
only problems osx has are really basic and easily fixable, but apple prefers to do nothing and force people to buy 3rd party programs that fix the stuff apple should've done!
only if apple made os x a separate os, added Vulcan and other standarts and actively advertised it, maybe gnu-published it to push foss people to their side, it'd had like 90% marketshare; os x worked better than windows on my non-apple branded computer, and that says a lot

Just admit /g/, all of you are technological autists that can't comprehend that people can use operating systems different than you do. It's not that hard to adapt. Yeah and modern macs are memes because of the blind pursuit for thinness and glued components. Fuck that shit. I'll likely build a hackintosh when my mid-12 nonretina MBP isn't supported.
