IT'S OVER, APPLEL IS FINISHED & BANKRUPT
>>54220807
>IT'S OVER, APPLEL IS FINISHED & BANKRUPT
Said the increasingly nervous guy for tenth time in the year.
>>54220822
idk senpai, apple shipments are down since Q1 2015 and their stock has dropped from ~130$ and is heading for the $100 range again. Investors are probably very nervous right now. With a homo leading the company there is not much hope of any good products being released.
>>54220822
This honestly.
You people need to get through your heads that no matter what Apple does they will always have a small core fanbase that will happily eat up any shit they push out. It works in Apple's favor that these people are also generally completely tech illiterate.
>>54220807
You fail to account for the sheer number of retards who will but that piece of shit regardless of how unchanged it is. It sure feels good to be PC Masterrace.
>>54220807
>Starting at $1,299
TOP KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK
>>54220807
>No dedicated GPU
>1600usd
Nah fuck this even AMD could have done better.
Applel backed the wrong horse.
The macbook is just a fashion accessory for nu-males
Its fucking useless
>>54221160
>Implying AMD can even make a 4.5W CPU
TOPPEST LELKEK
>>54220985
>tfw you will live to see Apple bubble burst
MacBooks only make up about 20% of Apple's sales.
They make far more on iDevices.
>>54221310
This.
No other devices on the market are even remotely on the same league as the Apple iPhone 6S Plus.
>>54221310
This
Apple lives or dies based on iphone sales and to a lesser extent, ipad sales
>>54221337
Meh not really
I'm getting rid of my iphone 6s plus for a note 5.
>>54220807
>releases a slightly improved version of best laptop
>APPLE IS FINISHED
Uhh, what? Poorfags can even grab the almost identical 2015 version now and stop bitching about sour grapes.
>>54221160
>dedicated GPU
>in a laptop
>good
>>54221354
Why would you do that? The only upside is the pen.
>>54220807
How long until a laptop with no ports?
>>54221526
Probably about 5 years. Headphone jack is easy to replace, wifi can be used to connect it to displays, the only problem would be slow ass wireless charging.
>>54221354
If you plan on taking notes with the pen, get a tablet. The phone is too small to be practical.
>>54221500
>>54221706
I miss using clover
It pisses me off that I have to jailbreak the iphone to do anything
>>54221887
Get the Note 5 then
Having split screen between Clover and some random site or video is worth it, also that screen off note is way more useful than expected
>it's faster
>this means bankrupt
?????
>>54221924
Thats what I was thinking. If I am going to go back to android phablets then I might as well get one with a pen.
The samsung split screen seems nice too. Can't wait until Android N brings it to every device.
>>54221354
>ITT things that never happened

Whats so hard to believe about wanting to dump an iphone?

What, you don't believe we can afford iphones here?

GOD DAMN IT APPLE STOP RUINING PRODUCTS REEEE
>when apple doesn't change something
GOD DAMN IT APPLE WHERES THE CHANGE FINISHED
>>54222070
The ars article deducted pretty well why some people bitch about it though, some people want less portability and more power, and don't exactly want to buy an old rMBP.
Retina Macbook will get a lot less flak after new rMBP refresh. (Poor people will still complain but who cares about them)
>>54221160
>1600usd
It costs $2000 in Canada. After shipping & tax it comes up to $2400.
>>54222042
/g/ users don't use iPhones. This boards is literally autistic. They prefer android, which is made by botnet inc

Android is better desu
Thats why I am dumping iOS

>>54221244
What is the A4-6400T
>>54221160
>wanting a dedicated GPU
>in a LAPTOP
Holy fuck, /g/ is delusional. No wonder the market's opinion is almost always the polar opposite of /g/'s opinion. If /g/ had a say, every laptop would be a massive 10-lb monstrosity with big hot-swappable parts, all for an OS without a GUI, only command line.
>>54221971
The Samsung split screen sucks. It only works with a few apps. CM 13 has its own version of split screen that works with all apps. Also, the note phones with a locked bootloader are permanently unrootable.
>>54222237
About twice as slow as core M from 2015 at CPU tasks and 30% or so slower at GPU. Doubt it could even power a retina screen.
>>54222219
It's perfectly fine for a laptop that will be used on the run. Retina Macbook is meant for people who travel a lot, not a desktop replacement.
>>54221354
Wait for Note 6, senpai. It'll have equal or better battery life than the current Galaxy S7. Plus, it'll probably be water proof.
>>54222553
I have the phone leasing program from t mobile so I probably will get the note 6. I'm just sick of the iphone in the meantime.
>>54222366
Should've bought an unlocked device
My rooted Note 2014, I can splitscreen pretty much all the apps I need
Why would anyone get one over a Dell XPS at this point?
>>54221160
You can use an external gpu with dell's latest xps
>>54223686
They wouldn't. Surface pro tablet PCs are the future.
>>54223686
The Apple MacBook has objectively superior screen, build quality, battery and user experience.
>>54223722
Still inferior to the surface pro
>>54221310
Sad, Macbooks are by far their best product
>>54220807
Apple is basically the Rolex of computers, It's a status symbol for yups and not much else.
>>54223686
Ignoring OSX there is also... godlike trackpad, lower size/weight and longer battery life than XPS with 4K.
>>54223740
Still crap trackpad, worse battery life and un-lap-able. Although unlike the XPS SP4 has the benefits of a tablet and pen, so very nice if you're looking for that. Inferior if you're strictly looking for a portable LAPtop.
>>54223787
Rolex is overpriced crap with the same functionality a $5 watch has. The products that have similar functionality to Apples stuff are usually inferior at few details and priced the same.

>>54223916
Could you name a better x86 CPU with low enough TDP to make the shit fanless, last long and have enough performance for the usual laptop tasks?
>>54223722
>muh unibody
>heat is rusulting in throttling down to 800mhz
If only there existed something with this form factor that didn't cost an arm and a leg or suffer from gross underpower because of le cloud.
>>54223977
If you're poor and need ports, just get ... pic related.
>>54223992
>advocating paying $500 for a $200 computer
The excitement is building, the IBM Model M Industrial SSK has made it's way to the UK and wlll arrive soon :) £1000 well spent
>>54224078
It has a solid screen, decent hardware, godly trackpad and best battery life you can get on a normal sized laptop. (Also the best OSX for most people) If you want something good, you have to pay slightly more, shocking, isn't it?
>>54224148
>defending a 150% markup because it's shiny
>>54224171
Well, name something better for $200. Before you post the usual shit...
>Chromebooks
Underpowered hardware, shit build quality, inferior battery life and usually noticeably worse screens.
>Chinkpads (X220)
About the same hardware with slower SSD, inferior battery life, huge and weight more.
>any other Windows laptop
Pretty much same as Chromebooks plus heavier, bigger and close to useless trackpad.
>>54224227
Did you forget that the MBA sports a 1366x768 TN panel and has a habit of melting?

>>54224084
top kek I'm such a fucking troglodyte I posted this in the wrong thread.
>>54224250
The 13" one got 1440 x 900, which might be shit for 2016 but is pretty damn nice compared to all the other low res screens, and one of the best you can get for <500 bucks. Also it's 16:10 swagger.
11" Air is pure shit though and not just because of the screen.
>>54224322
You can stick a 1600x900 screen in one of those 12" Thinkpads (and upgrade to a SSD) and be in the green compared to the cost of those Macbooks, but those aren't too important. The key factors in the worth of a laptop are the price and the lack of melting.
>>54224413
>1600x900 screen in one of those 12" Thinkpads
Didn't find anything after 2 min googling, besides changing screen would take time, which is money.
>and upgrade to a SSD
Look up the prices of PCIe SSDs.
>the lack of melting
Where did this meme come from? The fan on Air is almost always silent on OSX and the outside temps are damn cool.
>The key factors in the worth of a laptop are the price
If you're that dirt poor, why even buying a semi modern laptop? Lot's of old shit sells for sub $50. Desktops are even cheaper and some people would even pay you to get rid of their CRT screens.
The last time we had a widespread "Apple is going to fail soon!" campaign, the WSJ eventually revealed it was a Samsung-invented "narrative" pushed by all tech and media sites at the time.
>>54224537
>the WSJ eventually revealed it was a Samsung-invented "narrative"
Holy kek, do you have a link?
Besides, all the Apple is doomed shit gives people a better initiative to buy stock.
