If apple cared more about showing off the tech side of it rather than the shiny shit for normalfags to eat up, mac wouldn't be as hated here as they are.

-Max OS X completely implements the POSIX standard whereas most Lincucks distros don't
-More and more Lincucks developers are switching to Mac for their Linux development, such as the gnome co founder

They are mostly high schoolers and as most high schoolers they are blind for the substance of things and instead judge the people associated with the thing. There are absolutely things about OS X worth hating, but for what it is, it's pretty good.

I'm on a Thinkpad T400 but I have a MacBook Pro right next to me. Everything after Mavericks has been trash. I also hate supporting that company. They treat their employees like dog shit. I used to work for Apple. I met Steve Jobs a few times too. He was a creep and Cook was his bitch. If you don't need OS X for iOS development then buy something else.

If you're not a paid shill, you're a fucking idiot. PC sales are not shrinking. Just because you hear something on the internet, that doesn't make it true. Apple is like a cult. I should see if I can find my old training manual from my old job with Apple. The way that Apple teaches to manipulate people is crazy. The level on which they understand the human mind and its vulnerabilities is pretty chilling.

Also, calling me a kid doesn't make your argument any more legitimate. It just makes you look like a self centered ass who has to talk down to others to make yourself feel better. This isn't /b/. Start acting like an adult.

Eh, it's okay. I have one provided to me from work. I usually just use for it work, since the applications we use must run on Mac software.

I am on my old Macbook Pro right now.
Late 2011 15 inch.
It is running like shit and wants to die but I am making it be my stupid slave until August for summer classes and I just built a new Desktop this weekend for everything else.

Many, especially old /g/. Those of us who aren't poor have more than 1 machine, such as a custom built PC and a Mac, or like myself who doesn't game, a rMBP 15" and a ThinkPad.

Never bought a Mac before, but I've been using an iPad since 2012. It's sort of useless note that I got anAcer Ultrabook, but I still use it on my bedside for animu and Netflix.

I've always wanted an all in one Mac just to experience Apples OS, but I don't care much for the price. I don't think I'd care much for the Mac mini either.

Stupid, arbitrary hardware restrictions in order to protect Apple's profit margins. Still I will admit that they are pretty good for development stuff. Would never buy one on my own though.

I don't care about the hardware restrictions. By the time I update it I can sell it for at least $1000 anyway. It's not like these are going to get beat up from normal use like a Macbook would.

I used to be against them because of proprietary shit and how expensive they are, but having used them now at uni to work on iOS stuff I have done a complete 180. I couldn't see myself not using Windows because muh games, but if I could afford a Mac Book I'd get one just for iOS and general laptop shit.

I was surprised how many guys who know their shit use them as well. I'm the only one in the research lab using Ubuntu and the rest run Mac.
