>>55469259
I know, right? If only Macbooks had useful status lights and removable palm rests. Hell, you can't even replace the RAM without a soldering iron.
>>55469259
>its shit quality because its not a sealed shut, un-repairable, overpriced block of aluminum with all usefull features removed in the name of muh minumalizum

>>55469259
There's far too many screws on these shits I tell ya hwat
>>55469259
OMG it's easily serviceable, what an outrage!!
Better than gaymer laptops
>>55469377
You're argument is based around the presumption that people who buy a MacBook want or need any of that, or at least that, if they DO want it, the benefits justify the costs. It's like saying your car is "better" because it has AWD.

Back in the IBM days, there was even a to-scale diagram on the bottom of the machine with a labeled list of screws, the lengths, and where they went.

It's crazy how timeless many of Apple's products are. I mean most of the stuff they designed in the 2000s still looks amazing today, very unlike the pieces of shit other manufacturers shat out in those years.

I'd been a Thinkpad user since the original 700C, but when the G4 Titanium came out, I wanted that shit so bad. Such a gorgeous looking machine.
It was kind of a lose though. Was already slow when it was brand new, scratched every CD I put it in (and they usually got stuck ejecting), the battery kept falling out, it would shut off if you picked it up by only the left side and then within a year the hinges cracked and the screen came off.
...went back to Thinkpads.
>>55473554
how?
>>55473656
how what? Under the rubberized coating, it's AZ91D alloy magnesium. You can polish it like aluminum.

too bad timeless design doesn't translate to timeless function.
>>55473222
everything is white ...cause you're a racist.
>>55473554
that's why it's so heavy
>>55473911
magnesium weighs about the same as plastic for a given volume.
>>55473922
>same weight for given volume
if only there was a single word to describe this
>>55473947
'density' is less clear in this case because it can mean (or imply) several things.
>>55473971
true. one example is how dense a person has to be for them to not understand what density means in that context

Oh, fuck me! I can't believe I actually did that! Jesus Christ, this is a direct hit in my autism - now I feel almost as stupid as those people who think that "should've" is somehow short for "should of". Almost.
Anyway, thanks for the correction, I'm not even sarcastic here.

Yet another reason to purchase the new Apple MacBook Pro with Retina Display.

>It's like saying your car is "better" because it has AWD.
But AWD is objectively better.
>>55476120
It puts more stress on the tires and drivetrain, it's bad for fuel economy, and it won't do jack shit for some Californian soccer-mom in her Jetta. People have different needs and use-cases, there's no one-size-fits-all for computers.

But with cars, you pay for luxury.
I mean an expensive car usually provide something that feels better, runs better and looks better.
A lot of people like how the macbook looks.
I can get that someone would get a macbook because it looks better than other laptops.
But a macbook does not feel better.
It is constructed of aluminum, which means it is cold to the touch.
Some weirdo might be into that, but I doubt that many people would say that macbooks feels good, at least compared to other laptops.
The keyboard is not great which also makes the whole thing weird to use.
And I might be in the minority here, but I wear a wrist watch.
That means I have to type in an even weirder fashion or the watch will scratch against the laptop.
The performance is not better than on other machines.
The cooling is a major problem for apple computers.
The trashcan, the netbook are both well documented to suffer from poor performance because of the cooling. I think the macbooks have decent performance, but you can get better performance elsewhere.
So we have a macbook which only can be considered a luxury item because of how it looks.
The people who go for that, might not care about anything else than how it looks.
So I no, they might not care about how the ram is connected and how easy it is to service.
>>55478246
How does this even happen
>>55478246
Nothing you can't fix with a hammer. At least it doesn't chip and crack like when you drop a plastic laptop
>>55469377
>>55470965
>>55478246
>it's not a thinkpad

>there are LITERALLY no other brands that produce laptops, only Apple and Lenovo exists
You stupid fucking autistic mongoloid childrens. Get out of this board
>>55478304
~aluminum~
>>55473673
How did you remove the coating?
>>55478618
powdercoat stripper (sodium perborate)
>>55478325
more like 'at least it bends unlike nothing at all happening to a plastic laptop because plastic is elastic'.
>>55478703
Sure thing
>>55478958
[this kills the macbook]
>>55478681

well you sure as hell don't want kids playing with that stuff. not without proper training.
>>55478958
>>55479006
replace chipped palmrest: $5
replace bent unibody: buy a new macbook
>>55479048
Yeah because you can't bend it back or anything
>>55479060
but you broke what was inside, iDiot
>>55479098

>>55479098
Nah
>you can't burn metal notebooks
>feels bad man
>>55469259
Looks pretty good and useful to me.
>>55479060
>ThinkPad repairs
>replace the part for cheap and get it back to its original state
>MacBook repairs
>HURR JUST BEND IT
>>55479060
And you will have a permanently weakened part of the aluminum and it will never have the same precision again
Face it, unibody was a mistake
>>55473222
>if they DO want it, the benefits justify the costs
What benefits? The benefit of NOT having an easy way of opening your laptop? The benefit of NOT having these lights?
Besides, MacBooks look horrible. Your pic is a good example. That thing looks bland, uninspired and blocky. The mouse looks as if it's made of cheap plastic. Why do they even design every single of their products as if it's meant for tasteless sheep-minded faggots?
>>55479060
how do you fix this?
>>55479411
>I don't the difference between aluminum and plastic
>>55479723
Remove lower half of body, remove battery, replace touchpad, stop being a lazy bitch, move on with life
>>55479723
buy a newer and better apple product
>>55479795
you forgot "get a heat gun because everything is glued together"
>>55479795
except it's the battery swelling
My HD plastic [part is fucke dup on both my T420s. The screws both came stripped and had to rip em off. one stays on alright by my main one is off. My only issue. dropped it twice. one time one of the springs when you close it got crooked. but a q tip fixed it
>>55479822
I didn't forget the heatgun I just didn't see the need to mention it. Do I need to mention to use a screwdriver on th screws? Dense fuck...
>>55479958
you didn't say it because it makes the replacement ten times as annoying compared to a real computer
and screwdrivers are everywhere, not heat guns
>DOA
LMAO APPLE
>>55473673
Is this at all true with the T420?
Latitude > poorpad
fite me
actually thinkpads are probably the worst of all business notebook
>>55476345
That was 1998 you mongoloid.
>>55473673
>You can polish it like aluminum
why?
>>55481854
Because that's a physical property of the metal.
>>55481948
wrong.
get an x220 faggot or get the fuck off /g/
>>55469259
What's wrong with the LED bar below the screen? I'd pay for this to be on my laptop.
>>55481948
>that giant bezel

the nostalgia...
Maki doesn't use a thinkpad I bet.
>>55479989

I mean I hate Apple too, but holy shit you guys put way too much effort into showing how much you hate Apple.

tbqh senpai they look pretty gud and Im gonna get one in a few years when theyre sub $300

>>55476345
that mouse was a goddamn piece of shit
>>55480694
I'd switch if anything had as good of a keyboard/trackpoint as a T/W/X X00 series.
>>55479723
Don't try to run Crysis and Witcher 3 on your mac at the same time?
I've only seen shit like that or the terrible warping from extreme, constant heat.
I went overboard playing a game for over 12 hours, my laptop was hot as hell, and it warped a bit so that clicking down the pad was a bit of a hassle. I let it rest for 30 minutes and it was fine again.
>>55469259
those are unironically features
>>55474007
>>55482655
elitebooks and probooks
probooks actually are the only modern business laptops that are still portable, have optical drives, can be ordered with no OS, have trackpoints, and have high resolution non TN panels all in one machine
>>55483015
been there, done that
those models don't even have middle mouse buttons.
>>55476120
car analogies are shit, and so is AWD
good old fashioned 4wd with transfer cases and lockers and shit is top tier
>>55477927
my x220t can cause burns if you load up the cpu and gpu and put your hand next to the vent
mainly because it's got a cpu meant for 14" laptops with decent cooling, shoved into a barely adequate enclosure
>>55476288
>Puts more stress on the tires.
Same amount of power on 4 wheels is significantly less stressful then that same power on 2 faggot. Common logic.
>>55473554
wherefore
>>55473222
So? Your argument is based on the presumption that thinkpad owners want or need a mac-like laptop, or at least, if they DO want it, the benefits justify the costs. It's like saying your car is "better" because it doesn't have AWD.
Also, how is having extra features not better?
>>55480633
T430 owner here, i'm pretty sure ours are carbonfiber lids, and Mg body frames.
>>55482577
this
did they even try and use it themselves ffs
thing handled like a hockey puck and you were forced to click with your middle finger
Lenovo was once upon a time IBM.
I cannot google who they sold it to.
P.S. I bought a U350 ULV laptop the second before IBM sold off Lenovo...
Who bought lenovo?
