I am considering starting to eat shit out of my hands.
Tell me why I should or shouldn't do it /g/

>>52189724
go for it. for a similar spec, build quality and battery life, etc windows laptop you'll be paying around the same price.

well memed friendo :^)
How strudy are MacBooks? I own an HP Elitebook, and I travel often and use it "in terrain". The elitebooks have lots of dents and scratches, usually few milimeters in depth, but works 100%. Would a MacBook survive similiar treatment?
I need a new notebook for general use like browsing, shitposting, webdev, watching videos.
Should I buy MBPro for 1300 euros or some cheap Asus for 550 euro?
>>52190420
€550 should cover everything you mentioned.
>>52189724
What do you actually need it for?
>>52189724
>I am considering starting to eat shit out of my hands.
I wish I didn't know what you're referencing to.
Wait for Skylake OP
My roommate's wife just bought a macbook not long ago. I couldn't convince her to get the windows laptop for $300 less that had better specs. Some people just can't be reasoned with and they'll go with the trendy shit because autisms. Can't say I'm surprised, she's a little retarded most times.
>>52190849
>muh specs
There's a high chance that Windows laptop has a shitter screen, trackpad, display, battery life, and build quality. All of which matter much more for the user experience
Specs matter for gaymen and you shouldn't be using a laptop for that
>>52190849
Your a real fuckin genius anon, finding a pc with better specs than a macbook pro.
After you own a premium ultrabook you'll understand why people buy them.
> Battery life
> Great Screen
> Light weight
> Compact
> Ssd
> Reliable
All things your shitty $300 Toshiba isn't
The making fun of macs meme is dead
>>52189724
What do you need it for OP? It's great tool for programming and business work.
>>52189724
Consider the following:
Surface Book
Carbon x1
Dell xps 13 / 15
If non of those look good then get the Macbook, you can't really go wrong with it.
Remember you can always bootcamp windows
literally what is the point when the new surface has all the meme parts of a mbp
>>52191033
Because the Surface is riddled with problems

>I am considering starting to eat shit out of my hands.
Do you people really consider this meme funny?
>>52190544
Not lagging.
I got a Yoga 3 14 (not the Pro) like 6 months ago and honestly I'm disappointed by the performance. Playing 4K vids in Youtube lags like shit and even when opening web pages they'll be unresponsive for a few seconds.
I've been using my mom's rMBP occasionally and it's much smoother overall.
Also I like the trackpad.
Also the teachers at uni are freetards and make us manipulate unix sockets in C and shit so Windows is useless in that regard and any Linux distro I tried rekt my Yoga's battery super fast.
>>52190959
Well I study computer CS so it would be a good way to be able to program using C Unix system calls and such without having to go back to some shitty bloated Linux distro made by amateurs.
Obviously the main thing keeping me from getting a rMBP this very second is the price. I have the money but still it's seems excessively expensive.
>>52191135
Carbon x1.avi
It's better and cheaper, just take off the antiglare and its perfect except for the external speakers
>>52191251
This is coming from someone who has in the past fell for the shillbook pro and the Razer Blade
>>52190766

security wise, macbooks are disgusting.
if you plan to do something where security is a concern, plan on getting other machines. otherwise, it's a solid pc
>>52191112
Try Arch with LXFE?
Or gentoo?
>>52191112
No shilling here, but I would go for it OP. Yes they are expensive, but I believe it's worth it. Everything about it is top notch.
>sent from my rMBP 2015
>do you have a ton of money to spend and you care more about looks and design than the technology in it?
Then yes
>do you care about money either because youre a bit strapped down or would rather spend it on something worthwhile and care more about specs than overall design
Then no
Its simple. Everything in mac can be duplicated for half the price except the looks

Sometimes I really wonder why computer developers seem to be choosing the MAC.
I mean I would rather have the latest CPU and discrete GPU to lower my compile/build times than a high res screen.
I mean normally you get a big monitor at work to use so one is very rarely using ones laptop's screen. No matter what resolution, we all would rather work on a normal 22" wouldn't we?
I mean, the only MBP with a discrete card is almost or over 3000 depending on the market.
At that price you can get a Thinkpad P with Xeon (I'm guessing this level of processors can shave at least 20-30 seconds off compile time).
Or one of those 'gaming' rigs with a desktop class CPU.
I just dont get it.

>>52189724
Tried eating shit personally. Got some hands on with a Mac and really tried to justify the price tag, but couldn't.
The hardware is great. So are other options that are much cheaper. The only thing unmatched is the trackpad and that's not enough to justify such a crazy markup.
The OS is clunky by any standard; generally the same brain damage retardation as Windows, just in different aspects.
Unless you need a Mac specifically, just do your research and get a cheaper laptop with better specs. Specs aren't everything, but there's a point at which you need oerformance.
They are not stable and do not "just work".
>>52190849
>Some people just can't be reasoned with and they'll go with the trendy shit because autisms.
You're on /g/ because you want to be "trendy" like the autistic faggots that fill this shithole, so you frantically shit on whatever you can shit on.
>>52190933
>>52190935
These are correct.
People who have real business jobs don't need le ebiNvdia GTX Titan XZZXZXMobile for their laptops. These people travel a lot, and those who don't stay in their office with a workstation computer.
However, I do fucking despise all the hipster richdicks that use Macs as Facebook and Twitter machines.
>>52189724
Because you wait for the skylake in the 2016 model, that's why.
I'm too lazy to start a new thread, so I will post here, deal with it.
My notebook died, and I need a new one asap. Being a broken ass student I have two choices:
>macbook pro 2011, from a friend
>cheapest piece of shit pc I can find
I mainly program, do some image edition and browse this shithole. What do you guys think it's best?
>>52194548
It depends if you enjoy the taste of shit from your hands.
>All linuxfags will eventually turn into macfags as soon as the shit on their hands starts to taste good.
Looks like you've reached that point. Or you could stop being a fanboi faggot.
>>52196161

>>52190319
Why would that matter? A real Apple user would just buy a new one every time it's scratched.
>>52192794
I hate Apple, but what possible tech does any PC laptop have over the MBPs? Apple destroyed the hi-end competition years ago.
Cheap plastic laptops that fall apart are of no interest to me. For example, I would never buy a Dell Inspiron.
>>52189724

osx is nice for getting work done. good software availability, good ui, good build quality, good support. OSX has its weak points but overall is pretty good.

I have an XPS from 2013, this shit has plastic edges and plastic topcase, and has chipped away over the years despite only being used at a desk for the most part with limited use in a backpack when I used it when i worked at Google.
The motherfucker works fine, but the plastic didn't hold up.
The new ones still only have metal tops and bottoms, but everything else in the sandwich is plastic.
>>52196564

Decent MBPs get auctioned on ebay for a pretty good price considering the specs , for example
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Apple-MacBook-Pro-Retina-15-i7-16GB-512GB-Excellent-Condition-FREE-SHIPPING-
Pretty good specs for that price point
>>52196803
You've got to be pretty delusional to think that MBP trackpads aren't either the best trackpads or one of the best. Every PC laptop trackpad is compared to them. Got some secret trackpad everyone else compares trackpads to as a standard huh?
>>52196803
wow
>>52190319
Stick with elitebooks. Macs are for office working
>>52196829
Literally any solid touchpad with actual buttons is more accurate than your flimsy diving board shit, i.e. shit that even laptops in the 90s perfected.

Please mom, I'm not a kid anymore, stop embarrassing me.
Small list of shit that did not work after some hours of messing:
-Trackpad in any way as good as under osx
-Backlight. The nvidia shit in this machine does not offer any support, and it only worked half-assedly.
-Tty did not work. Video output fully shut off when switching to any tty.
-Wireless was hit or miss at startup, though this is also thanks to broadcom.

Cause legging wearing, pumpkin spice drinking thin middle upper class girls are desirable? They use what is popular with their socio-economic class. It isn't hard to understand.

You'll genuinely love it for 2-3 years, then you'll start to want to switch to Linux but by then it's too late; your workflow contains too much proprietary Apple components / programs. FOSS software sucks on OS X so you'll be forced, out of sheer necessity, to use proprietary, Mac only programs.

I moved over to Linux pretty smoothly after OSX. If anything, the bigger problem is that it makes Windows feel completely unusable, with its completely useless command prompt and its different-for-the-sake-of-being-different powershell.
>>52197257
bootcamp and vmware take care of both problems
>>52197279
Can you bootcamp to Linux? A while back I installed Fedora on my MacBook Air and it had trouble playing back videos (pause/play toggle would reset audio to 100%), among other issues. That's besides the fact I'm missing Pixelmator & Sketch

Mac OS X is proprietary, restrictive software built above FreeBSD (free software without copyleft). Ethically it's a problem, but the result is a very strong base.
If you've got the money for it and the expense won't impact the comfort of your life, just do it. If you've got to choose between, say a MacBook Pro and your holidays, the choice is yours. There is no good answer.
Anyway, I strongly recommend you to avoid Windows every time it's possible. You may learn to install and use some Linux distro on your free time, such as Archlinux with KDE Plasma (I'm talking about this because it's what I'm running, and I consider it's very satisfying).
If you want a cheap and good laptop, I suggest you to consider buying an IBM thinkpad (see >>>/g/tpg). If you can afford a MacBook and don't want to know how a computer works (you should, but you'll be able to install Linux on a MacBook later), buy a MacBook.

No, really. Thinkpads have come far in regards to display with the current lineup, battery life has always been up there with 9-cells, and internals have always been better than Apple's offerings.
