Why haven't you bought a Mac yet?
>>101415172Because I got one from my employer.
I didbiggest mistake was not buying one earlierI use Unix, not Unix-like, that's the best part
>>101415172cuz it trash.t. worked for 3 years on macos at school
>>101415172soldered SSDs and no repairability. If the ssd goes bad the whole motherboard has to be replaced. I do like MacOS though.
>>101415172i might be gay but not THAT gay.
>>101415172>no numpadinto the trash it goes
>>101415303>replacing your motherboard cause your deadbeat dad never taught you soldering I knew this board was retarded but wow
>>101415189How were you able to install unix on your mac?
>>101415172>notch>rounded corners>on a laptop
>>101416927You'd rather the screen be smaller. Massive retard.
>>101416938I'd rather have more pixels while keeping the screen size the same.
>>101416972Physically not possible you fucking moron.
>>101415172How do they compare in SD to, say, a 4060 laptop GPU?In any case, SD software support for Mac tends to lag behind not just Linux, but also Windows. Seems kinda rough.
>>101416988Kek, dell can do it, lenovo can do it, asus and others can make a proper 4k screen without round corners, without not and still fit in a 1080 webcam
>>101416742I love MacBooks, and I agree with the anon giving a valid criticism on poor repairability for non Apple authorized repairs but your reply is even more retarded than a lead paint staring boomer
>>101415172i'm a heterosexual male
I bought one for music production when I'm not home. It's really not good for anything else. M1 PRO btw
>>101415172How is the ray tracing performance on the M4?
>>101415172I like pussy
>>101417644What about boypussy?
Everything is nice when it's brand new.
>>101415172I need an Nvidia GPU for CUDA and I also like gayming occasionally.
>>101416650>numpad>on a laptopgross. please tell me your laptop purchasing decisions aren't completely hinged on whether or not the entire keyboard is pushed off to the left to make room for a set of redundant keys you absolutely don't need just because you think they're "faster" when in reality you could just commit a typical number row to muscle memory and ditch the numpad altogether. you wouldn't do that right anon? right?
>>101416938they can absolutely fit a camera in those bezels. they're thin, but not that thin. there's NO reason for a notch on a laptop under any circumstance.
>>101415172I loathe Apple as a company.
>>101415172Its overkill for xhamster and myvidster
>>101418009It's not just a camera, and a smaller camera that fits in the bezel would have a smaller aperture and lens. The notch isn't in the way anyway since it's occupying an unusable part of the menu bar.
>>101418009And the rounded corners are definitely making the screen bigger too, unless you'd rather have sharp corners on your laptop. The rounded corner is "missing" some pixels in the corner that shouldn't be containing any important information anyway, but gives you a taller and wider screen. You give up nearly useless pixels to get way more usable pixels.
>>101418104>It's not just a camera, The notch on iPhone contains more than just a camera, sure, but the iPhone is thicker than the MacBook lid. The notch on the MacBook can only house an RGB camera, a LED and an ambient light sensor. That's all that's in there. There's no TrueDepth system or proximity sensor or speakers or anything like that. It's basically just a camera.>and a smaller camera that fits in the bezel would have a smaller aperture and lens. No one cares. Pre-notch MacBooks had garbage camera and nobody gave a shit, they sold like hotcakes anyway. Compromises for form are made all the time throughout all of Apple's other products anyway, so this is a non-issue. People are willing to deal with slightly shittier cameras and if they're not they're at least willing to use their iPhone's Continuity Camera or an external webcam or something. Either way there's no excuse for a notch on a laptop. It makes sense as a space optimization measure on a small handheld device like an iPhone but it doesn't make sense on a larger screen. The iPad doesn't have a notch. >The notch isn't in the way anyway since it's occupying an unusable part of the menu bar.This is how I know you only use Safari. Some programs have a lot of global menu sections and the notch does in fact get in the way of that. There are also programs you can download that occupy space in the right side of the menu bar, and if you use too many of them, that can become a problem. Apple themselves doesn't know how to address this btw. Notch makes sense on an iPhone but on the MacBook it causes more problems than it fixes and is not very well justified.
>>101418151The problem with rounded corners is that they introduce the requirement of increased software padding, and thus increased waste of space. This is fine on mobile displays since those are touch target based interfaces which can afford to be a little wasteful with real estate because of the efficiencies tolerated by that interaction model, but on a laptop with a mouse and keyboard with no touch input it's also problematic. But I don't care about that as much as the notch. The notch is the only tangible problem here. The rounded corners just introduce annoying screen real estate inefficiencies.
>>101415303>m-muh soldered SSD!! Muh soldered RAM!!! It's not upgradeabile!?!!Yeah and it doesn't need to be because by the time you would need to upgrade it better technology is out anyways. Stop babbling and just admit you're a coping poorfag.
>>101418104extremely doubtful that Apple couldn't figure out a way to fit a camera that isn't a piece of shit in a smaller space than that. I don't buy it one bit.
>>101415172because my home isn't a landfill, therefore I don't keep trash there
>>101416650Makes the laptop massive.
>>101418104I cannot believe that people defend the notch. It looks fucking ugly, just hits the eye wrong. This is pure cope and you know it.
>>101418388Just consume goy like a brainless e-waste nigger.
>>101418455sent from a good machine running Artix + xfce, actually. that makes one rat living in it I guess
>>101416907The same way teenage girls do, it comes with their Apple mac preinstalled.
>>101415172Because I already own a CB and I'm waiting for that to die before I consider a MB, Laptop or another CB.
>>101418547No it doesn't. MacOS isn't Unix.
>>101418658
>>101415172Very nice machines, but it's hard to justify the price when I don't need any specific mac software, and it doesn't even run all of the software I need without some sort of virtualization. >Upgrade options are expensive>You end up the Apple price ladder: Only small X to get to the next machine, oh but then you're only smaller X away from this much better config etc... >Everything soldered/glued (you'll need a rework station / hot tweezers, scope etc) >AppleCare warranty isn't cheap but you need it since self-repair is limited. >Notch looks pretty disgusting.Other than that, I haven't bought a Mac because my 2015 still kinda works.
>>101418803Kek, smug know it all BTFO by a single image reply.
>>101417080their screen:body ratio is smaller thoughbeit
>>101415172Cause my t430s just werks
>>101418151>And the rounded corners are definitely making the screen biggerWhat kind of mental retardation gymnastics is this>unless you'd rather have sharp corners on your laptopYes, I'd rather have an actual full screen with all the pixels present than a screen with corners cut off and a fucking notch.
>>101419260>ThinkvantageIs this from the early 2000s? Also this is clearly used for hacking/espionage due to sputnik runes.
>>101419374nta but that thing is from 2012. pretty good machine, too bad anon ruined it with the inferior keyboard the previous generation had
>>101419374>classic keyboard is worse
>>101419255Smaller by 0.1%? Having a clean, uniform, rectangular screen without notch or missing corners is just so much better
>>101415172I'm Straight.
>>101419260nice screen

>>101415189>>101415172Macs are shit and so is your retarded shilling.
>>101418244>defending fucking notchDisgusting and pathetic.
>>101421502I think you misread my post? I said multiple times that there's no reason for the notch to exist on a laptop. I disapprove of it.
>>101415172>Notch>Soldered SSD>Glued in battery>Comical pricing structure>Operating system looks like a Fisher Price interface.
>>101415172so what kind of shenanigans can I do with OP's serial number>>101423117tell me you've never used Windows XP without saying "I've never used Windows XP"
>>101415172I have. Best choice I've ever made.
>>101419255I want to squash your pea brain, but that won't be needed to make you feel any worse since Win on ARM is getting better every day.
>>101425985this
I am straight.
>>101427978Macbooks will attract women (speaking from experience).
>>101415172I am waiting for the M4 upgrade
>>101415172Bought one in 2015, within 2 years the battery was swelling, moved back to an XPS.That lasted me until 2022, bought another Mac. This time the keyboard melted, keys fell off, and some are held down permanently. Moved to a newer XPS, as a side note my old XPS still works perfectly.I keep getting memed by you idiots into thinking Apple’s production quality has improved, and for a year or two it always seems like it has until it becomes clear it has not. I’m exiting their stupid ecosystem again and hope I don’t ever think about coming back. At least my iPhone can fetch a good price second hand still.
>>101428030my riced linux setup also attracted women (speaking from experience) macbooks are the most useless piece of tech i've ever used
I'd upgrade macbooks but there's no x64 drivers for what i use let alone ARM ones
>>101426550cope x80shitter
>>101415172Because my other laptop is still fine.I'll consider it like I consider all my options when its time.

I produce on fl studio, tried using a friends logic on mac book and couldn't do anything. The only thing good about mac books is they hold their value well and there are always plenty of buyers if you want to sell, a lot of scammers go for mac books though.

Have you ever noticed that there's always apple ads that stay up for 2+ days on the catalog, surviving on one-word bumps? And the mods just allow it and don't care?
>>101435096Maybe because the users of /g/ like to talk about their mac products? It would be weird if the tech board ignored the giant trillion dollar elephant in the room.
>>101435112I know it's part of your job to pretend like having an ad with 85 replies, half of them one-line bumps, up for 2 days is natural. /g/ is an apple billboard and the mods know.
>>101415172no money and the only thing i use it for is movies, tv shows, and random stuff
These are so easy to spot, for example:>>101426550This reply made the company financing this ad look bad, and no one was replying any longer. So after 3 hours of absolutely zero engagement, this thread somehow gets resurrected by a "this" one-liner:>>101427951Such natural discussion!

>>101435804So you admit your Apple ads are like generals, aka threads that you always want up, bumped up until they slide and then it's time to start a new one? Because that's what you do with all your threads, that's why this thread will survive with a product pic on the OP for another day and then you'll start a new one. Glad you could be this honest about your work procedures without breaking an NDA anon.Report apple ads and apple spam.
>>101439920How brain damaged are you that you've reached the point where you believe Apple actually care enough about this place to have paid shill here? Mac fans just do it for free because they feel a cult sense of loyalty to their brand. I'm just curious if you're offended by the Lenovo guys doing the same.
>>101440126>n-no it's all organic!Kill yourself. /g/ doesn't even use Apple products as proven by recent usage polls. Still there's Apple ads every day all the time, in their own threads and in unrelated threads. Not even people who are braindead enough to buy Apple would be that determined to spend all their free time shilling it for years.
>>101440126Yeah why would a consumer brand ever run free 24/7 ads on one of the world's most visited websitesThat's just crazy lpl
>>101415172I had several. The SSD burns out if you try to install Linux on them which in turn hard bricks them and Apple doesn't cover this under warranty as they consider it an unapproved modification.
