I don't use Apple products, because I do not wish to give them any of my buckaroos, but Macbooks look pretty neat. I'd rather be a Macbook user, who resembles a homosexual, instead of a ThinkPad NEET, who resembles a homeless person.

Easily.

If you look like a faggot while using a MacBook, it's simply because you look like a faggot. The trick is to not look like a faggot. If you can pull off not looking like a faggot in general, then you can pull it off while using a MacBook.

No.

Has this board not got any less shut-in in the many years I've browsed it still? Do you know how common MacBooks are? Regurgitating autistic memes from 2008 is getting very fucking old. Its like calling iPhone users """hipsters""" when it is now the normie phone and so NOT hipster.

It's weird to me that these threads still exist.

MacBook pros are easily the best laptop you can buy right now. The only laptop with superior build quality that I've encountered has been the chromebook pixel 2, which is basically functionless.

I was looking to buy literally any Windows laptop that could stand up to the MacBook pros quality. Don't get me wrong, the 2016 MacBook is fucking AIDS, as are the iMacs etc. the MacBook Air is great except the screen is fucking dog shit.

All I want is for Apple to release the new RMBP's so I can go and buy one. I've already dumped my iPhone 6s+, iPad Pro, and 5k iMac because I can't stand them.

It upsets me that the iPad Pro is essentially useless. What a waste of $1,200.

Don't even think for a second that the surface pro 4 is useful. It would be if Microsoft could figure out how to fucking have even a modicum of quality control. I've literally gone through 9 SP4's and SP3's. It's pathetic.

I've been looking at the thinkpad Carbons, but I think they have awful battery life's. It's really fucking gay that Apple has been allowed to stop innovating. All I want is a redesigned rMBP, that doesn't have that god awful force touch track pad.

Whoops, "I think theyve been proven to have a poor battery life".

>It's weird to me that these threads still exist.
Becuase poor people that cant afford Apple still exist.

Not that apple is perfect, but that is where 90% of these shitposts come from. Literally sour grapes everywhere.

Also the average /g/ user is generally an gamer/ex-gamer geeky kid that was bullied by some cool kid with an iPhone in high school. They tend to have an irrational hate towards the brand because of that.

Apple is at best mid-tier as far as product-pricing goes.
It is precisely poorfags who get it so they can feel like they aren't poorfags solely due to the design.
Otherwise the cost of most Apple hardware isn't up to the shitty build quality. The value is far less.
>>
>>55384793
Sorry the truth hurts. Android market share is now like 80%, PC market share is 90%. Apple products are only used by fags and hipsters.
>>
>>55384934
Are you retarded? Of course they are expensive.

How many phones/notebooks are more expensive than Apple? Most people cant justify those expenses on their budget. Not when cheaper alternatives exist.
>>
>>55384899
Truth. I look for technology that makes my life easier. It's weird to me that people still hate on MacBooks even though they're quickly bridging the price gap and increasing affordibility. They do have some gaping security flaws, but when it comes to overall quality, they're pretty impressive.

I don't like that on a board designated for technology, that people turn everything into some /po/escque shit show that amounts to them getting on their soapbox and screaming about faggots and essentially income inequality.
>>
>>55384946
>Apple is at best mid-tier as far as product-pricing goes.
Not really. There are more expensive products, but in general they are one of the most expensive.

>Otherwise the cost of most Apple hardware isn't up to the shitty build quality.
There arent really many notebooks/phones in the market with similar build quality.
>>
>>55384946
I think out of the many arguments that you could make, shitty build quality isn't one of them.

I quite enjoy the aluminum unibody and high DPI screen.

The dell XPS has a trash body, and disgusting keys.
>>
>>55384647
God do I hate these degenerate liberals. What a perfect picture of American weakness.
>>
>>55384983

Aluminum with shitty cooling and keyboards, paired with a magic pad.
Nope there aren't.
>>
>>55384983
You're far too rational for /g/.
>>
>>55384962
So university students, who love their iPhones, can justify the purchase? Why are they eating Ramen every day then?
>>
>>55384962
>How many phones/notebooks are more expensive than Apple?
Plenty. Maybe you should do some research before shitposting.
The business-tier segment of laptops with all their security measures is 2 to 3 times the price of Apple shit.

>>55384983
>There arent really many notebooks/phones in the market with similar build quality.
Similar as in stitched up with adhesive that has an exhaust fan blowing hot air into it, and the Apple hardware being the new fire-starter meme?

Except it is.
From bendgate to adhesive to the shittiest heat dissipation and then throttling and the fucking touch shit.
There are plenty of things that are wrong with Apple hardware.

The only argument that can't be made is in regards to software.
But as far as hardware goes, Apple is there with the shittiest of brands in terms of build (not appearance),
and you could buy the same level of build quality for half the price in terms of other laptops. The only difference is that the appearance of the laptop wouldn't be as "slee" and "fedoraistic" as Apple.
>>
>>55385022
>>55385003
>Plenty. Maybe you should do some research before shitposting.
Not really plenty. A few, and like you said they are mostly business products. And just because there are more expensive products doesnt mean that Apple isnt expensive

Again, it might not be the best build quality on the market, but its pretty good. There are very few phones/notebooks that you can directly compare with apple in this area. Just because you hate apple doesnt mean their products are shit
>>
>>55385066
So iPhones are pretty much like any other phones, then. Gotcha.
>>
>>55385111
>And just because there are more expensive products doesnt mean that Apple isnt expensive
Apple isn't expensive. A kid doing a summer job or a guy taking on a few weeks of construction can afford it.
What Apple is is overvalued.

The arguments against democratic socialism are awful. No one wants to argue with people like you, because you literally can't comprehend objective statistical data.

Both the democratic and Republican Party are the ultimate cuck parties. You're bending over and voting for representatives that have no other goal than to finger fuck you while they suckle at the soft cock of corporations and lobbyists.

Go get an education instead of wasting your life arguing with other idiots who only care about who can scream the loudest.
>>
>>55384035
no, at least not for you OP since you look like a faggot without even using a macbook
>>
>>55385116
Basically?

Is that supposed to be some sort of gotcha? No one is arguing with you.
>>
>>55385125
Yes it is expensive. Go to any popular electronics store right now, filter phones/laptops by most expensive and see what comes first.
>>
>>55385073
All for aesthetics, not for practicality.

>>55384035

>>
>>55385145
You said that they were expensive, so poor people can not afford them. In reality, every Tom, Dick, and Harry can afford an iPhone. At least we agree on this now.
>>
>>55385170
The guy you were talking to isnt me.

And yes, poor people cam have iPhones, but they are a minority. Most poor people have androids. Most rich people have iPhones. That is a fact.
>>
>>55385111
My point is that the build quality isn't good.
Retina is considered low resolution now, and tempered glass screens are common.

There are laptops with both better build quality and price points, whether or not you find a reason to dismiss them compared to your beloved fagbook is up to you.
>>
Yes. In fact I've even found a way to use a Macbook for reasons other than showing everyone that I have a Macbook.

What's impossible to is not look like a faggot when you wear a buttoned shirt under a hoodie with a Panerai and jeans. It's a deliberate attempt to make you look like you're humbly hiding your family's wealth.

>>
>>55385278
Not really, my point is that Apple is expensive. You are still delusional. And the store I buy things from doesnt sell these gamer notebooks so apple is usually at the top
>>
>>55384035
How is being a NEET treating you.
>>
>>55385216
It really isn't good.
You need to try more laptops if you think it is.
They haven't released a Macbook yet that didn't have cooling problems, and they always do stupid shit like out of spec USB port sizes. The keyboards are awful, the aluminum shell isn't durable, its a cheaper alternative to polycarbonate that looks pretty.
>>
>>55385304

At least half those laptops listed there have nothing to do with gayming, and the first Apple products appears only at the middle of the 2nd page.

If that's your point, "go look at how it's not the most expensive brand on sale" is a retarded way to illustrate it. It's like if your point was that we're all heterosexual and then you showed us your boyfriend. Good job arguing against your own point faggot.

>Poor people almost never buy apple compared to rich people
But poor people are exactly the ones who buy it due to appearance.

Rich people buy gaymer shit and shit with security just like they buy edgy looking retarded supercars that look like ricer PC cases, as opposed to sleek and elegant sedans and shit. You aren't well acquainted with the spending habits of the rich.

Apple is like the Mustang. No rich guy wants it, but middle-class faggots froth over it because it's affordable enough, but LOOKS like something a rich person would have.
It has the same purpose as wearing fedoras. You wear them to look classy even though you can't afford actual class.
