Is a MacBook good for uni doing computer science, compiling a shit ton of lines of code? If not, what else do you recommend?
I'll definitely install gentoo of course
A $600 Asus laptop crushes the new $1300 MacBook in benchmarks

Why are you worried about the speed your code compiles? You're a student, you don't have that much to compile, it's not a fucking race.
But yeah, install gentoo.

Okay? MacBook Pros are better.

Hmm. Ya ur right about both parts.
of course it is, are you retarded?
anything could compile the shitty 200 line projects you'll do in 7 seconds

Ok, find me a $600 lapop, and I want no cd drives, at least 500GB, 4-8 gb ram, and around 13-14 inches. Ur eight about the benchmarks, and I didn't have the new MacBook in mind, I was thinking the ones a version or two older.

I just used the school Servers for compiling shit. Just use vim and ssh
Otherwise get a thinkpad with Linux and Windows for .net

Ik definitely not heting the newest MacBook if I do get one, probably one a version older

Do it yourself, also the $600 laptop that beat the new mac book has those specs
If you want everyone including the professor to make fun of you then sure. Also why spend that much on a laptop when you can get better specs for cheaper
If you're going to install gentoo anyways, then don't get a macbook pro

HP notebook with an a10 4 gbs of ram 500gb hdd and all under 400 at wallmart
litterly any think pad with at least an i5 4 gb of ran and Wang blows 100-300
and if you want to be a faggot you can get a fucking alien ware laptop with a current gen i5 and some nividia 2gb gpu so you can game your parents money away
avoid thin laptops like the plague my 2014 Mac book pros screen has cracked twice and I had to install ubutu for my class
be that guy with a thinkpad and gentoo
>>51851988
read the sticky faggot
>>51851988
wallmart has an acer with an Intel Pentium 4 gb of ran 500 hdd and no CD drive ( why the fuck would you not want one you dumb ass) for 250
Literally thinkpad
