Honestly I think the people on this board who would use an Apple product are just the spillover from reddit and /b/, as well as other boards.

Anyone who knows what they are doing, wouldn't choose to use an over-priced, non user-serviceable product. There is no reason to keep giving reasons, these two are sufficient already. It is not like using an Apple product is the worst thing you can do, but its no different from what anyone else does.

Apple products are for the ignorant (I don't mean that as an insult, again it is for those who don't know any better) and the tech illiterate.
Why do iPhones sell so well? A retard can use it, you pay for a controlled environment. Why is this good for the average joe? He can't fuck it up.
Besides these reasons, there is also the issue of hardware being soldered to the mobo, and the disgusting prices of in-store service, which is expected since you can't modify the machines yourself.

I'm not gonna yell at you, or do a victory lap, or anything like that. But I am going to tell you that your owe yourself experience.

Three years ago, I was like you. I used to shit on Macs for all the same reasons people do now. Then, I started to wonder, and got a MacBook Air. Even after that, I disparaged it for a while (on day one, I called it "Retard Linux"), but it proved itself over time. Its battery life was great, it turned out to be surprisingly powerful for what it was (Wind Waker in Dolphin at 40FPS average!), and, ultimately, it held together longer than any laptop I've ever owned. I'm still using it today, and I'm considering selling it this year, not because it's inadequate, but because I want something that fills even more roles.

So, yeah. Experience things, and rise above the rank-and-file /g/ shitters, or stay with them forever.
>>
>>55239677
The reason for battery life is because there is more battery. OS x sucks at lower management.

I'm fine with a single usb port. The way I see it this is one major step closer to integrating computers with phones. Your phone charges and connects to a pc through the same port, thats never been an issue.

If you look at the internal design of this laptop you will realize its brilliant. The whole computer is on a relatively small chip, with a single port. the rest of the body is all battery. its like a smartphone with an external display and a huge battery
>>
>>55238760
Its a versatility factor

Apple now more than ever has been enforcing this extremely basic and practically unusable machine

Wanna plug your laptop into a power source and use a USB drive at the same time? well fuck you you're not apart of the target market.

And then you'll ask "who is the target market?" and the answer is something like "clueless people who don't know what they're getting into or people who somehow don't care how limited the device actually is"

But nobody is saying that. Instead of complaining about one rare laptop with no ports, you can pick out of 1000ths that have all the ports. People who want the MacBook obviously don't care about ports, otherwise they wouldn't get one, it's simple, no?

>>55243885
This huge flaw affects who? Did you buy one and then discover that you can't insert all kinds of stuff in it?

>>55243899

We aren't talking about the other laptops, we're talking about THIS laptop and this laptop is literally lacking features.
>don't care about ports
and they'll be sorely mistaken when they don't realize that their purchase will be in vane especially compared to the macbook air that has more features regardless.

>This huge flaw affects who?
anyone who literally wants to do more than one thing with their laptop. The saying goes, rather have it and not need it than not have it and need it.

>Why just picking out the port?
Its the most glaring flaw about it. Its literally a lack of features purposely designed.

>why not the screen
its not an issue
>why didn't they make it 17
because it doesn't fit that design metric. Thats like saying "why didn't they put 22's on the civic it only has 16's!" Because a civic doesn't need 22 inch tires to do what a civic competes to do.

>You shouldn't critique a SVU for being slower and bigger than a fucking smart. Each has its own purpose.

We aren't comparing SUV's and Sedans. We're comparing a middle bastard child from a regular MBP that was arguably already borderline Ultrabook tier to a Mac book air that is in the ultrabook tier. Theres this dumb Macbook that lands right in the middle where its bigger than a macbook air, has LESS peripheral ports offers nothing over either of the other designs beyond USB-C which at its inception was unused and unadopted by the industry as of yet.

We're comparing something like a Honda CRV to a Honda Accord and Honda made this dum fucking car called the HRV that does nothing different over the CRV, gets worse volume and offers NOTHING over the CRV. But its this dumb hatchback pseudo SUV that fits no where and anything that it doesn't compete with the CRV over, the Accord does better regardless
>>
>>55238760
>>
And then retards like you >>55243957
think I shouldn't critique the Honda HRV because the CRV exists and people who buy the HRV don't care that it can't do everything the CRV does. And you tell me something dumb like "don't complain about the lack of cup holders because other cars have better and more cupholders" Even though people write pages and pages of reviews about every flaw of each system you say something stupid like "don't critique it because other shit does something different" as if that fucking matters because THEY'RE WRITING ABOUT THAT FUCKING HONDA HRV. If they were writing a review for something ELSE they would do that, but NO.

Anyone who bought it, can do all the things they want to do. If you want to do other things, you're spoiled for choice. That's like bitching about iPhone SE having a small screen.

>Its the most glaring flaw about it.
For YOU. Minimalistic design made for the wireless future is exactly what other people wanted.

Why not? There are laptops with bigger screen!

>because it doesn't fit that design metric
Like ports into an ultraportable laptop that is meant to be without clutter and as light and thin as possible?

Slightly bigger than 11" Air while having a larger screen and being lighter/slimmer.

>which at its inception was unused and unadopted by the industry as of yet.
How will it get adopted if we stick to outdated technology? Besides, I seen tons of usb c stuff already.

>HRV that does nothing different over the CRV
Macbook 12 is taking the idea of mobility further than Air. If anything, it's the Air that became useless. It's not significantly lighter/slimmer than MBP while giving up performance and screen quality. Besides there are tons of Windows clones being similar to the Air and better due newer screens. Macbook 12 has no competition offering the same mobility with battery life and screen.

This means nothing, "I can do what I want with what I have" is such a clueless and effortless statement its pretty much "well I don't care fuck your opinion it doesn't count because I said so"

>For YOU. Minimalistic design made for the wireless future is exactly what other people wanted.
CRITIQUE something you seem to disregard because you don't like it

>Why not? There are laptops with bigger screen!
DESIGN BRAKET, they don't put 22 inch wheels on a civic because a civic doesn't have even remotely a need for such a feature. You're not even comparing classes you're comparing cars to trucks instead of sedans to sedans because you're fucking retarded.

>Like ports into an ultraportable laptop that is meant to be without clutter and as light and thin as possible?
If thats the case then the macbook air is superior in every fashion

>How will it get adopted if we stick to outdated technology?
USB3.1 literally came out the year before. Apple isn't leading innovation at all. If they think picking up an unused technology so new you need 50 adapters just to use it is fucking pointless and completely arbitrary.

Not at all. Product A is aimed at customer A, you're customer B. Complaining that product A it's not made for you is pretty silly even if we ignore the amount of alternatives. If I want a small and portable laptop, I couldn't care less if somebody wants to buy a 17" 4 KG brick and it'd be dumb to bitch about it, because the person buying one, obviously wants to do different stuff with it.

>CRITIQUE something you seem to disregard because you don't like it
What value is there in critique about the most fundamental aspect of a product and presenting it as a downside when it's THE selling point for others? At best it shows that you don't like it, which is irrelevant since the product isn't aimed at you.

>you're comparing cars to trucks
You mean like comparing an ultraportable laptop with stuff that weighs almost twice as much?

>If thats the case then the macbook air is superior in every fashion
For you and everybody else who still wants to use cables and carry extra weight, nor cares about design. The existence of the 12" Macbook doesn't prevent you from buying an Air, so what's the issue? Again, there are tons of laptops with tons of ports for people who want ports. There are few with barely any ports for people who want it all wireless. Pick whatever suits you

>USB3.1 literally came out the year before.
And was only used by the Pixel and 1-2 phones if I remember right. Now it's pretty common in the premium sector with all the usual shit and 3rd party adapters. Maybe a laptop from the most popular premium brand played a part in it?

>12 inch is completely redundant
For you, for others it's the perfect balance. Specially the 11" Air is retarded because the laptop itself is about the same size due the large bezels. If you want a bigger screen, well obviously a laptop with a smaller one isn't right for you

As some who's literally never plugged anything into a laptop, other than a power cable, i really couldn't care less.

All based on driver support, code efficiency, and OS controls over managing hardware load.

Linux usually has shit battery life simply because drivers are written to work, and they're often reverse-engineered. New features that are added to newer hardware to aid in power saving never get utilized.

In OSX & Windows you're going to break about even on battery performance (assuming you have a clean install of windows free of vendor trash).

There are people who need more ports than any MacBook can provide.
At the office we have VGA, HDMi and Ethernet based projectors. You can't interface with them using a MacBook retina or even a Mac Pro. Your best choice would be a Hackintosh with some Lenovo Workstation.

you can get usb-c to hdmi and usb-c to vga adapters from the apple store.

apple's literal recommendation for usb-c to ethernet is to buy a usb-c to usb-a adaptor, then usb-a to ethernet adaptor.

two of those 3.1 ports are probably thunderbolt 3. or maybe all 4 of them are thunderbolt 3. since the port is fully compatible with usb 3.1, just like tb2 was compatible with mini displayport devices.
>>

Regardless there should be at least one USB A port.

And then every time I would need to fiddle with adapters. No. I can appreciate Apple's hardware but I'm not in their user segment.

I can literally guarantee you that if you looked at every user on /g/ right now you would find that 90% of them are either high school students or college students with an iphone as their phone and a macbook of some type as their main computer, plus some sad 40 yo thinkpad users and a couple other random people with things like toshibas (like myself) and asus laptops.

The world uses apple products. It's the statistics. Look it up.

why do ppl hate macs? there's nothing hugely wrong with them

imo MBP and MBA are the only 2 mac products worth buying.
rMB is complete shit and just a cash grab.

Pick one.

... and yet you Microsoft stooges used to be so thrilled with the Terminate and Stay Resident (TSR) feature in DOS.

It's not iOS. Also, no one cares about your RAM management OCD.

>closing programs doesn't close programs

You can't name one disadvantage of this. They're closed automatically if needed.

RAM is there to be used.

>>too dumb to understand that the shill part is trying to find excuses for the 0.8ghz throttle

Apparently you are too dumb to understand that I called that anon a shill because he tried to make existing evidence seem illegitemate without providing any evidence.

>94 degrees
>TJmax is 100 degrees
>6 degrees away from shutting down due to overheating

Pic related. This a workstation not some cheap laptop. If I were to spend $5000 on a computer, I would expect it to be maintain low temps under heavy load. I don't think anyone would want to do a 5+ hour render job on a computer which gets that hot under load.

If you think that this machine runs cool under real life heavy loads such as rendering, you are free to provide proof like I did.

>>90+ is a pretty standard temperature for hardware
>modern CPUs shut themselves down at 100 degrees
>90+ is ok

If you look at the datasheet of the 12 core xeon found in the mac pro, you can clearly see the Tcase rating of 86 degrees which disproves your claims.
