Wew, that must be a powerful machine.
>>55232073
gotta admit, that's pretty impressive.
>>55232120
kek
>>55232073
It's officially disposable now.
>>55232073
Where is the SSD?
I wish I had a 15" laptop of conventional thickness (like, 3/4") that had the same percentage-by-volume of battery as this thing. why couldn't we have kept the size the same and used the miniaturization of the guts to expand the amount of battery instead of to make the thing smaller and thinner?
>>55232073
The size is proportional to the performance tho
>laptops are gradually becoming tablets with x86 processors and larger batteries and a build in keyboard
PC laptop makers are already starting to copy this Macbook design, so is this trend going to continue until we're left with ultra thin Facebook machines and bulky gaymen laptops?

>>55232625
probably, since gamers are the only significant computer market that demands more performance than a macbook gives.
>>55232625
Laptops will be a mix of Chromebooks and Macbooks in the future. Yes, looks like memewares and thinkmemes will be our only hope.
>>55232597
Other side, fixed on the board.
>>55232090
That space is filled with battery you fucking retard.
>>55234770
where are the ports and fan
>>55234770
>still gets only 7 hours battery life
Why is OSX such a colossal pile of shit at battery management?
>mfw I own this thing and love it
Best $750 I ever spent. Thanks craigslist.
>>55234770
>>55234789
>>55234796
This thing is a fucking beaut. I want one so bad but I can't justify it for $1300.
>>55234806
It's fanless.
Admittedly the battery design is very cool. At least they are taking full advantage of the horrible everything soldered in design
>>55232073
Not perfect but impressive
>>55234806
>Fanless architecture
>MacBook is the first Mac notebook ever without a fan. Since the Intel Core M chips draw only 5 watts of power and therefore generate less heat, no fan or heat pipe is required. Instead, the logic board is seated on top of an anisotropic graphite sheet, which helps disperse any heat that is generated out to the sides, all while your Mac stays virtually silent. MacBook is made even more efficient by OS X features like Timer Coalescing, App Nap, and Safari Power Saver, which ensure that every task is performed using just the right amount of power. No more, no less.

>better battery life than the MacBook, better performance, better everything
People want thin shit and that's fine, I prefer something actually useful myself.
Oh, and I run OSX in a VM anyway too just to spite Apple, fuck 'em.
HATERS GONNA HATE
>>55234877
Worse screen
Worse trackpad
Worse storage performance
Worse build quality
Worse support
>Oh, and I run OSX in a VM anyway too just to spite Apple, fuck 'em.
And no, you don't do this.
>>55234877
>I run OSX in a VM anyway too just to spite Apple
OS X is free anyway. They don't give a shit.
>>55234877
But does it come in Rose Gold™?
What are the chances of this thing getting updated at Apple's next hardware event? Zero?
>>55234869
am i getting mocked wtf
>>55234887
>Worse screen
Your opinion and thus irrelevant.
>Worse trackpad

>Worse build quality
Magnesium chassis, lighter and stronger than aluminum, and thus very relevant.
>Worse support
I still have 132 days left on the CompleteCare warranty I extended after the original 5 year duration ran out. I could throw it off my balcony into traffic right now and call Dell (at 1:15AM) and have a replacement here by Monday at 5PM delivered to my door. If I had a regular old problem with it they'd send someone to my apartment to fix it on site.
Does any level of Apple Care (which you pay for on top of the purchase price - my CompleteCare came with the purchase price originally) provide for actual on site support or do you have to take it to an Apple Store where they can't do shit and ship it off back to Cupertino for an actual repair?
Thought so.
Oh, and yep, yep I do run OSX in a VM without any issues. Pic very relevant.
>>55234888
OS X is not free software. It's proprietary, non-free software that they only license you to use on Apple hardware.
>>55234946
>worse screen
>your opinion
Nigga, you obviously haven't used a new Macbook. Hate on them all you want but their screens are incredible. So are their trackpads... actually, your opinion is just shit.
>>55234946
None of those are opinions
That's like saying faster downloads aren't better because that's an opinion
>>55234977
2 rupees have b een deposited in your shit wiping hands Pajeet.
>>55232073
The epitomization of how slowly our battery technology is advancing compared to everything else.
>>55234946
why dont you throw it off your balcony and have it replaced with a new one? it must be worn out after 7 years.
>>55234987
>>55234979
>>55234977
The technology is irrelevant if it can't be used to do the things you actually need to get done, which is where the MacBook we're discussing comes into play. It's slower, weaker, has worse battery life, the screen is irrelevant overall (sure it has a higher resolution but really, is that your defining trait for "better"?) because it's so fucking small diagonally, I don't use a trackpad because the mouse I own is vastly superior in every respect (that's a fact, Jack), and I can do more with the Latitude for longer periods of time including running OSX without problems.
What's best for you ain't best for me, and the MacBook certainly isn't the best for everyone, not fucking even.
And at that kind of price? For worse performance and battery life? $1299 vs $160?
I mean really, kids, try harder next time will you.

lol
And I thought sour grapes only apply to appleltards
>>55232605
that's called a macbook?
>>55235646
macbooks aren't that thick
it sounds like he wants a T500 with a macbook motherboard and the rest of the case filled with even more battery. 48-hour battery life would indeed be nice
>>55232094
Stupid shitpad user
>>55234807
Thats actually better than any Windows laptop I can think of
>>55237018
A $199 idepad 100s gets 11 hours iirc
>buying a $1300 computer which you can never service
>>55237053
no standard USB ports, no HDMI/VGA output(enjoy buying and hauling around adapters, faggots), no replaceable SSD/ram
>>55234877
I've dealt with 100s of Dell e4300s at work. I know e4300s.
You are NOT doing ANY of that shit with a 4300
>>55232073
That might as well just be an iPhone
>>55237018
My 4 year old m14x r2 gets almost 10 hours of use.
>>55237138
He said 6400...
>>55234807
And you are basing this on what? Your source is wrong.
>>55237018
My vaio gets 12-13 hours.
>>55234964
Actually, OS X is as free as (google's) android.
>>55237188
You're right. Fucked up my model numbers. Point stands I meant 6400

wtf

this one was recent well memed my jared loving click farmer
>>55237036
Shitposting from one now and I can confirm. It's otherwise a pile of dogshit but for $138 open box I can't complain.
>>55232073
>it's still a 3-dimensional object
NOT THIN ENOUGH
>>55234856
which is also why it's clocked at 1.1ghz
>>55238664
Is there a problem?
>>55232073
So this... is the power... of the Mac...

australians can't use it because they produce more than shitposts per second than it can handle.

if perfection is an X86 throttling ipad with a keyboard, I guess senpai
>>55234789
I love the sample workspace in that picture
As if even Apple doesn't expect you to buy this unit for anything besides a hipster accessory for your tea party
>>55238599
went through this thread just to make sure this video was posted somewhere
>>55234806
are there usually ports and fans on an ipad?
>>55240076
Is this mac like a 1200$ raspberry pi then? Lol that's just sad.
>>55240086
>Is this mac like a 1200$ raspberry pi then?
The specs, performance, and formfactor speak for themselves
It's an ipad with a keyboard on OSX, hardly worth its MSRP (unless you're factoring in the intangible value of conversation starters at your local obscure dimly lit coffee shop)
>>55234946
6 loos deposited in your poo, Rajeesh.
>>55240066
what screams "hipster accessory" about it? they're laying out what looks like a magazine article and talking with a friend about the project. it's more work than I've seen done in any desktop thread, which usually features a terminal windows full of specs, a browser window open to /g/, and anime.
>>55237018
my t450s goes up to 13 hours, what are you even talking about retard
>>55232073
Nah perfection would be a laptop as modular as the non rMBP with a retina display and a 17 in option and updated internals and finally fucking updating opengl you pieces of shit.
>>55234877
You do realize that the CPU of your seven year old shit machine is less than half as fast as the Core M inside the Macbook? I mean, sure, it's not the fastest CPU on this planet, but it's not that shitty. It's actually an absolutely unbelievable piece of hardware considering it draws only five fucking watts.
honestly though this is a good idea if it wasn't for the Apple tax
If it takes Apple to introduce the concept of bundling a good screen and plenty of battery, I'm all for it
It's pretty well understood by now that companies like Gookovo won't take any new design steps or be a market leader in any way
Wish the RZ5 was affordable, perfect ultraportable
>>55232073

My dell XPS can get 7 to 12 depending on use
