And HERE WE GO. Who is buying?

https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/4facoc/12_macbook_supply_constrained_best_buy_is_out_of/

>Might be nothing. But considering that there were rumors of an end-of-April update, might be noteworthy that Best Buy is nearly completely out of stock at the moment. And they're $100 cheaper than the next retailer on the model they do have (512 GB in Silver for $1299. Rare to see it go that low.)
>Edit: Some people on the MacRumors forums also noted that the 12" MacBook is currently the only model that shows a Wednesday delivery date in the US, with other countries showing as late Friday. Hopefully this all points to an imminent refresh.
>Edit 2: And now maybe Best Buy is completely sold out? Can't find it anywhere on their website.

>Yup. The status in our inventory system lists the rMB as "discontinued"

>I'd heard a rumor about a week ago that new 12" MacBook's would be out on the 19th and until now I didn't really believe it, but this is making me rethink that assumption.

>You can't even try and buy them now.

they will change 1.1 Core M to 1.3 Core M, kek, do not expect anything spectacular, apple gonna ape
>>
>>54099612
I still don't understand Core M. You may as well use ARM chips at those speeds.

Hell, Galaxy S6s and S7s have more powerful processors than most of the laptops in the same price range, thanks to this Core M BS.

No they don't, not even fucking close. I bet you're one of those retards who fell for the Geekbench meme.
>>
>>54099768
Forgot to mention that picture is a comparison between a Core 2 Duo Lenovo laptop and a Galaxy S7 Exynos. ARM is still a fucking joke in performance, it's just that Snapdragon and Samshit are using super fast SHA1 hardware acceleration for those easy scores.
>>
So the same Oculus Rift marketing scheme? Meh.

>>54099479
who cares, it's a laptop for manlets or women. nothing to see here, move along.

>inb4 muh comfort
>inb4 i carry it everywhere
>inb4 smaller is better
It's okay to be a manlet, just don't act like normal sized humans want your deformed midget faggot of a laptop. Even 15" is small to a full sized man over six foot. 17.3" or gtfo and go back to the shire.
>>
>>54099787
That's literally the only performance difference between exynos and sd isn't it? Never trust South-Koreans, I still don't get why Fat Kimmy doesn't just invade Shitstain-Korea, it's not like he gives two shits about any other human right/whatever international law shit.

12 inches is fine for a normal person. You just have huge sausage fingers. Lose some weight buddy.

Pretending to be sold out so people assume they're selling like hot cakes, hence increasing hype

Apple chose Core M because it allowed them to make the macbook without using a fan.

Arm would mean incompatibility with all OSX software.

The Mac Book Air slaughters this piece of shit in specs and usability.

Why does this even exist?
>>
>>54100923
Yep, it's that single USB port bullshit that kills it. It should have 2 or maybe 3 in case that one port wears out. That's innovation. A charging port on both sides. Back when I worked for Apple 2006-09 I made friends with some engineers. They showed me some MacBook an iPad prototypes with 2 ports.
>>
>>54101100
I should add that the ports were for charging the device, otherwise that sounds retarded as fuck.
>>
>>54100800
Samsung, Qualcomm, Mediatek and Apple to a lesser extent are all in this SHA1 score cheating.

im 6' 4", and i have a retina macbook. it's my intermediary machine because it lets me edit 4k video in final cut without any issues.
>muh 1 port meme
theres an adapter on amazon called saitechi or some shit that has microsd, sd, two usb ports, and one passthrough usb-c for charging. only use it when you need it, and the rest of the time you can enjoy an extremely thin and light laptop.

its actually surprisingly easy to work with, even with large hands.
>>54104118
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnapaZYD2cU

final cut is so optimized that it will render 3x as fast as an i7 with a 940m and scrub full speed. its actually almost as fast as editing on my gtx 770 desktop with an i5.
>overheating meme
literally doesnt overheat unless its on a bed or a surface that has shit adiabatic efficiency. sit it on a desk or a surface that is flat and it will easily passively cool. learn2thermodynamics

also, yesterday i was editing 4k footage and i got 4 hours of battery out of it, at full load. the battery life is excellent, and it's the perfect replacement for the alienware hog i was using to edit mobile.

Why would they refresh the worst macbook?

They need to refresh the pro line. The other notebook manufacturers are starting to catch up with the last generation.

See this? I got it for $500 new. It has ports, good battery life, and with Linux you can get *nix in it. Did I mention I got it for less than half of your price? I mean, your trackpads are godly, but I wouldn't pay an extra $800 for it.
