kek
>>55002795
Also no, that thing is ancient.
>>55002751
I would not pay more than $200 for that. Even then I'm sure the battery is shot

Not true on force touch MacBooks and I'm not sure why you'd want to click at the top 1/2cm of the touchpad anyway
>>55002751
Used thinkpad would be better.
Or if you don't need unix, an atom netbook would offer even better battery life and portability than any used macbook.
Do NOT buy a non-retina MBP. They haven't been updated in 3 years. Get a refurbished MBA instead.

All jokes aside, the Razer blades are pretty fucking nice laptops, just ridiculously priced. It's like what Applel fanatics think their laptops are.
Aren't the razer's screens also waaaay better than the MBP too? Same resolution but ultrawide gamut and pretty fucking accurate?
If I were to ever get a laptop, it'd probably be on my shortlist.

i just recently got a mid 2012 macbook pro 13.3 inch.
payed 389 for like new condition.
I use it along with my thinkpad t420. they are nice side computers, but nothing to get all worked up about.

>the Razer blades are pretty fucking nice laptops, just ridiculously priced.
they are priced far better than "comparable" macbooks, and less than a lot of the boutique brands like Clevo/Saber.
I do not know of another true "one size fits all" performance laptop at that price range.
X220 IPS SSD with OSX
Price is about 325 tops

Name a single notebook better than the rMPB
>>55002942
Razer Blade Stealth
Even Razer is better than Apple! Sad!
>>55002942
Name a single rMBP that isn't an overheating throttling piece of shit.
>>55003076
I own a mid-2014 rMBP anon.
Is there any software I can use to tell when the fuck shit is being throttled, and how badly? Preferably with visual histograms?
>>55003323
The built in Activity Monitor program...
>>55003323
>Is there any software I can use to tell when the fuck shit is being throttled
When you boot into OSX.
>>55002751
what's sad about that outdated POS is that people are probably willing to pay $700+ for it
>>55003337
Are you sure? Where can I find info on CPU and GPU throttling? Just seeing an application's % is not helpful nor specific enough.

>>retina meme supposedly for "pros" have have <70% aRGB
depressing
>>55003507
aRGB is useless unless you're creating content for prints and you definitely are not doing that on a 13 or 15" laptop display.
>>55003609
2 rupees have been deposited in your iShill account.
>>55003643
>waaah you criticized my complaint that I made from a place of total ignorance
Come on nigga you know damn well you wouldn't even know what aRGB is if you didn't see it in the specs.
