>screen with great color accuracy>non flimsy build quality>great speakers for a laptop>10h+ battery life>great trackpadThe formula is right in front of them. The literal laptop boilerplate.I've tried tons of non-macbooks around the same price tag +-$1000, no dice. Making me unwillingly go back to Macbooks every time. Don't turn this into a lazy mac vs pc thread, discuss why this is the case. And of course, if you know any non-macbooks that ticks all those boxes, please share with the class.
Because they can't do it at scale like Apple canMost manufacturers have higher costs and overhead compared to Apple who can do it in house
>>102468267Applelfagd can't be converted, so why even bother.
>>102468267because only Apple fanboys will spend $2000+ on a laptop and they wouldnt change brand even if the alternative was better quality.rich people can be autistic too
>>102468267I'm guessing it's because most manufacturers earn mostly from business sales, not consumer, where apple doesn't have nearly as much marketshare, maybe partly because of software support?
>>102468282I'm not so sure about that. Microsoft seems to be able to do exactly that. Just look at their new Surface Laptop for petes sake. It's a macbook replica. Haven't had the chance to test it out though. Seems like the only decent competitor. I'm in the market for a new laptop and maybe this could be the one.
>>102468309by converted you mean switching to a laptop with a worse screen, flimsier build, tin can phone tier speakers, worse battery life and garbage trackpad? really makes you think..

theres no PC laptop as total currynigger shit as crapple's streetshitterbooksthey are one of the biggest heaps of steaming currynigger shit in the history of computing second only to curryPhones
>>102468354>it runs windowsSo yeah, that’s one big problem. If I could run Mac OS on it then ok let’s go.
>>102468267Bro I fucking bent my macbook by putting it into my bag with a pencil case between it and some textbooks its flimsy as fuck
>>102468354Surface laptops are complete dogshit. They are the biggest example of why copying apple's looks without understanding their design is a bad idea.
>>102469298>Self hating pajeetGo suck out some foot fungus from the fans of your new trannypad.
>>102468383your computer is a highly delicate, overpriced, mediocre trash at its best. you're just too stupid to see it. See:>>102469292>>102469279>>102469269
>>102468267>screen with great color accuracyothers do it better and have been for years>non flimsy build qualityyeah wait till a spec of dust kills your laptop>great speakers for a laptopothers already do it>10h+ battery lifeothers already do it>great trackpadonly valid point here but as a tradeoff you get the worst laptop keyboard in existence
>>102468267The Framework laptop exists senpai
>>102470875Sounds like MS understands apple currynigger design perfectly.
>>102468267The biggest benefit of MBA is no fan.To get decent performance without needing a fan you need a chip as efficient and advanced as the M-seriesThis is not something that can be fixed or copied. Other manufacturers rely on outdated dinosaurs like Qualcomm, Intel and AMD. Apple doesn't need them.
>>102468267because if you are really serious about hardware you should make your own softwareapple will always be ahead of everyone else
please, kys you jeet schizo
An Apple machine is a composition, carefully crafted with both attention to detail and respect to the whole. A Microsoft machine is just various random parts stitched together in an unholy union.
>>102468267Apple uses their own in-house components, which cuts down production costs. Their profit margin is probably ~the same as a normal laptop priced at $6000.
>>102468267Unironically, Razer Blade 18.Unless maximum battery time is a top priority and you rather want a powerful workstation on mobile-steroids, the Blade is a top tier item.Clean design, game capable, good and high FPS / resolution display, Plenty of USB connections.If i would not be an apple fag, i would totally go for this if i searched for a laptop (which i don't do since i am a BST fag).
>>102468267You meaning designing it to sabutauge repair efforts, just so they can get it *not* fixed by apple and then get told to buy a new one?
>>102476361Do you own one, I've never had crappy products that break on me, except every Razer product I've ever purchased.
>>102476361>18"kek, might as well buy a desktop

>>102468267There's a bunch of laptops that fit all the criteria out there, the problem is that you don't want to use anything other than applel garbage.Plus, the build quality on applel products is literally subpar, you can't fucking be so incompetent you literally fuck some basic shit like a display cable or sata cable that break with normal use.
>>102476638A friend of mine has a 17 inch one and he's satisfied.>>102477073There are smaller ones also.
A macbook is literally THE choice if you already have a Windows desktop - battery life reasons alone. Running things through Wine actually seems more fun anyways.
>>102468267Don't forget>doesn't randomly wake up when it's closed, drain the battery, and generate massive amounts of heat
