Show me one computer that's better than a macbook.

>inb4 gamerfag computer with no battery life
good for gaming doesn't mean good computer
>inb4 thinkpad
have fun looking like an absolute loser with your plastic brick with a huge battery popping out the back

Why macbook?
>great battery life
>great support for both hardware and software
>great processor
>the software is made for the specific hardware so no driver issues like lincux users
>still has more games than Linux (including godtier blizzard games)
>UNIX certified system
>is not windows
>amazing EFI features, for example the EFI literally scans the ISOs in your filesystem and shows them as a boot option
>crazy fast boot speed even on an HDD
>is based off BSD, which was vastly superior than Linux at the time the development started and Darwin is still superior to the Linux kernel because it hasn't fallen behind like the other BSD kernels because of lack of funding
>most good linux software is compatible
>actually has adobe and MSoffice products if you need them
>OSX comes with a great deal of GOOD QUALITY software
>Xcode is among the best developper tools out there

I agree with all of your points, but le "think pad makes you look like a loser" meme is trash. I got an x220 and it looks sexy desu.

>extremely loose near bottom edge
>overall flimsy diving board piece of shit
>even applel themselves has admitted it's utter shit now and has trashed the design to go back to copying 90's era laptops with solid non-click touchpads
>still has no real buttons
>relies on pressure sensitive gimmick bullshit
>if you press too lightly or too hard it does something completely different than what you intended
>ultra shit tier zero travel chiclet keyboard
>OSX is a steaming pile of shit with horrendous battery management
>applel's solution is to cram in a massive heavy 95WHr battery to make up for it
>even XXXTREME GAMER cancer like razer blade with 4X the CPU/GPU power and 70WHr battery matches it in battery life in same tasks
>gets BTFO by 55WHr Yoga 2 in battery life in same tasks
>the battery takes up the space where a cooling system would've been in a laptop not designed by the world's thinnest and lightest gay hipsters
>overheats at the slightest task because abysmal crippled cooling system
>throttles to 800mhz because of chronic overheating problems
>retina meme supposedly for "pros" have have <70% aRGB
>gloss mirror coating makes it impossible to use anywhere outside or with overhead lighting
>blurry as shit retina meme scaling
>shitbook air is even worse with glossy 1366x768 TN eye cancer

Show me one macbook that isn't a steaming pile of shit.

PROTIP: You can't.

I guess it's a bit pricey for poorfags. With macbook you're basically trading money for less hassle. I own a 13" full options macbook pro, it's great.

i do agree.
have my first mac for 2 months now. An Air.
At the same time i asked IT dep at work to give me a mac mini so i can switch fully and more comfortably.
First thing i found out is the incredible compatibility with my other apple products.
Yes its an ecosystem but as I had and iphone and then bought the ipad mini for reading, it gets more and more benefitial together.
The air has an insane battery life. I came form an old HP laptop, this thing can hold a whole day of blogging with some streamed music in background. And im talking a whole damn day.
I stopped gaming at the end of the last year (played only Dota in windows but i was severly addicted and the complete uninstall was the only solution because i could easily fall back).

Apple products really "just work". And they even work for my needs. I do webdev proffesionally and everything seems much faster, easier, while keeping all the functionality of what i used before.

Convince me to buy a MacBook. Price is not an issue. Can I pirate lots of software for my mac? Are they faster? All I know is that all the women in my med classes have them.

Bro dudes have ultra books and I'm using a tablet with a Bluetooth keyboard and half the sites i visit suck dick or barely work on mobile.

My laptop was stolen so I'm in the market and since their are mac shills here I thought I'd ask to be convinced also I hate windows 10

im this fag >>55255182
and i find the native apps really great.
I didnt want to used them at first because i dont trust native apps (thanks windows) but once i gave them a shot i found out i can really do a lot of work in them.
Cant really describe it but the macOS is simpler to use, yet doesnt lack the functionality at the same time

That's the problem with /g/. I can respect a macbook for the capable premium machine that it is just as I love my x220 for being powerful, customizable, portable yet cheap and durable. It's these closed-minded fanbases that are the cancer.
