Yes because lightbulbs use a fuckton of electricity.
>>
>>55616136
if it does, then how come a lightbulb can lasts months, even years when a MacBook can't last over a day without being plugged into a wall?

The MacBook is 5W. Lightbulbs are like 100. Lightbulbs don't run on a battery.

>Lightbulbs are like 100
Nobody uses incandescents anymore. CFLs and LED bulbs use considerably less energy now. Especially LEDs.

>>55616315
Not that I don't love a good macfag bashing, but are you fucking retarded? Lightbulb would last months - what? What are you talking about? On a battery the same size as the macbooks? Are you talking about lifetime of a lightbulb? Like what the fuck man? Are you retarded? What you said makes no sense.

how many /g/ users does it take to screw in a macbook

LEDs don't use less power than CFLs


It is actually disturbing the amount of heat that comes out of a LED bulb.
>>
>>55618737
Zero. Proprietary pentalobular screws m8.
>>
>>55618778
What? Are you serious? I had CFLs and LEDs for years and consistently the cfls produced heat while the LEDs didn't.
>>
>>55620402
I'm touching one right now, it was on for 4 hours. It's fucking cold.

If you put it in a drawer and never touch it or plug it in then yes.

>>55616136
pretty much all laptops use less power than a light bulb under light load (web browsing)

Yet, my parents buy 100 wat incadescents instead of 10 wat leds, because those are 3 times cheaper...

>living in a 3rd world shithole that stills sells incandescent for anything other than building sites

Those were basically banned in the EU years ago.

The only reason they're still allowed on job-sites is so that breakage doesn't spill mercury everywhere.
