Apple is flooding the market with cheap and efficient computers, everyone I know just gets one of these nowadays. For 900 bux or 600 bux, they can be even cheaper if you find a good deal, it's pretty much unbeatable.
>>107482100Yeah there's some decent deals but what did you think you're gonna gain by posting this on this board? You know you'll just have a bunch of linux trannies seething at you?
>>107482100Single use devices that can't be repaired or parts replaced easily are useless.Stop sucking the silver dick gay nigga
>>107482100I do like the little mini desktops, but I'm a piracy fiend and the thousands of dollars of cracked software and games I use still makes Windows better value for me; I very rarely see torrents for Mac...
>>107482100>Apple isnoit won't
>>107482184>I very rarely see torrents for Mac...because there are no binaries for mac or it's another bother to fix a binary from mac which no one uses?mac is terrible and always was. so was windows.
>>107482100The only people I ever met who had Macs were some Indian guy at school, and some homosexual guy at school.
>>107482100>flooding the market>actual market size globably: < 8%>less than 8%lmao the absolute state of ijeets. in shambles.>>107482184>>107482209when you have fuck all market share, nobody is going to be doing cracks or whatever of software for that junk. pirates focus on the platforms that are popular. macs aren't popular. it's always been like this going back to the original apple mac.
>crapple
>>107482443Why would I want to share anything with some andjeet?
>>107482443Just use LocalSend, retard.
>>107482100what are you talking, their desktop market is shrinking not growing.
OP seems desperate today
>>107482491And they can sell the RAM by itself unlike you
>14-Core CPU | 32-Core GPU >36GB unified memory>512GB SSD storage>Four Thunderbolt 5 ports, two USB-A ports, HDMI port, 10Gb >Ethernet port, headphone jack>$1999A Windows equivalent would cost $4000+ and not be able to run ProRes video
>>107482543>can't be repaired>can't run big boy workloads>512GB storage>basic bitch ports that can be found on most boardsDid your meds run out or something
Bought one of these older 2nd-hand Mac Studios cheap off Ebay a few weeks ago. VirtualBox with Linux VMs running KDE/Plasma all fit into that ridiculously fast RAM, it's kind of shocking how fast everything is compared to my Ryzen rig.
>>107482100Thats inexpensive?I just buy a used Lenovo ThinkPad every 5 years for $300.
>>107482564>can't be repairedDoesn't need to they never break. My Mac Mini from 2006 is still running strong.>can't run big boy workloadslike what? have you looked at benchmarks?>512GB storageanyone who is doing serious work will have a storage server>basic bitch ports that can be found on most boardshow much does a motherboard with 10gb ethernet port cost?
>>107482628You're too brain damaged to have a conversation just some desperate faggot trying to baitWe're done here
>>107482184>>107482209literally 90% of the software on my mac is pirated https://appstorrent.ru/https://macbb.org/
>>107482661>Doesn't even try to refute a single point. Why even respond it's less embarrassing to just slink away like the rat you are
>>107482100Got one of these recently and the design decisions for the UI are fucking retarded so now I've gotta install a bunch of third party shit to change basic things like "don't exit full screen when you press esc" and so on Otherwise great machine desu
>>107482661This is the same shit that blue haired dykes say when they lose an argument btw
>>107482543>>107482566Can you gayme on these?
>>107482785Just played Pokemon Red on my Mac mini
>>107482796that's a low effort pixel game from 1998
>>107482846That's the only kind of game worth playing
>>107482785gaming is for children and macs are not for gamingbut yes they can game a little, don't expect to be playing latest AAA releases at 60fps tho
>>107482117Computers are supposed to work and not break down, you know.Apple is doing a great job in the "it just works and keeps on working" department.>muh replacing parts...is just cope for failing products.
>>107482882Gaming is fun thoughJust wanna occasionally kill time doing fun stuff You'd think Macfags would be supportive of having fun to unwind after being productive all day with their Big Boy Computers
>>107482543>not be able to run ProRes videoAre you retarded?
>>107482100>irrepairable, brittle "computers" with no IO, poor specs and firmware on SSDs baked in.>600 us shekelsno thanks
>>107482184Are you for real? There's plentry. Not all VSTs are cracked, but still you can find most of the stuff.>>107482566How much was it?>>107482785I remember my mate was playing baldurs gate 3 on native resolution on a MacBook pro. The problem is game compatibility though.
Watch how crapple pr department (aka indians) start posting canned and wrong replies to this image. Its faster.It consumes more power because it's faster.Single core score hasn't mean jack shit for 2 decades.Don't even > me you shitskin faggots.
>>107483283that thing is $1k+ nowadays due to ram prices kekapple are the new affordable computers
I just bought a used m1 mac mini, its not so bad as windows as you can easily have an entirely local account without needing to sign in to any of apples bullshit. is there a way to download stuff off the store though without an account? whats the go to third party package manager for mac?
>>107483351homebrew
>>107482100I guess they're good for watching gay porn.
>>107482566How many fps in Rust?
>>107482923My computer evolves for 10 years already. Sometimes I replace some part with a better one when it's required for new tasks. During last 10 years I never had a situation when I sold the whole computer and bought the whole new one. This is the luxury that desktop owners enjoy. Yes, the cases are bad and made by retards but I plan to make it myself.
>>107483414do you also like to tinker and replace your body part too and call it evolving, you transexual?
>>107482100SAAR do you advertise your services on fiverr.com? how much does crApple pay for posting here?
>>107483414You're the minority, most people just want a personal computer and will never be opening it up or buying new partspeople are still walking around with and using macbook airs from 6 years ago btw
>>107483414Can you use this computer on an airplane?
>>107482100That's cool, but what exactly *can* I do with one of these? Apple computers seem to be nothing more than YouTuber bait - ooh look it has amazing video decoding acceleration!I don't care. I'm not carrying an external HDD/SSD and a bunch of dongles with my laptop, if you want more storage it stops being a good deal.If you want HDMI you need the MacBook Pro, which is expensive, and DP to HDMI is next to useless if you can't even switch between full and limited RGB. You can't customise MacOS to your liking and if you don't like the ahem "workflow" and "window management" tough luck. Whatever little tools there are that make using the OS bearable all cost money. I'm not the target audience and I'm okay with that, if normies want a facebook machine it's perfect for them.
>>107482100But they're shitty apple products
>>107483469No, but I was traveling with it a lot. I used it when I arrived to hotel. Now it's harder because I have a big gpu and cases are very bad, as I said. I have a low quality self made case, I plan to make a good one from sheets of metal.
>>107483507you look like a fat gamer manchild I can smell the cheeto dust from here
>>107483283>chink company with no warranty>garbage-tier slow RAM and DRAMless SSD>M4 is regularly on sale for $450 and $500
>>107483536I am thin and girls often told me that I look like a model. I only play games that are built for linux natively, so it doesn't happen often
>>107482184mac has higher quality vst cracks
>>107483716what does this mean in practice?
>>107483840more shit more availablewindows is all just r2r
>>107482882I play games on my Macbook, you're just an insufferable joyless faggot.
>>107482543>>512GB storagewhat decade is it?
>>107483716>>107483849is this real or is this anon memeing
>>107483283>beelink saar8 lol
>>107483474>You can't customise MacOS to your likingYou're so fucking retarded it hurts. You can literally just install KDE, Gnome or any other obscure TWM you trannies love so much on MacOS.No it's not defeating the purpose of a mac because the hardware is light years ahead of any PC.
>>107482100> third hardware price spike happens> Apple hardware goes from being a joke about prices to being affordable> this timeline is peculiar
>>107482100>macOSdisgusting

>>107488905>screwdriver to adjust his Mac(tm)how barbaric
>>107483351>is there a way to download stuff off the store though without an account?Most apps are also obtainable from the developers site/github.>>107483414I mean... Mobo, CPU and RAM are mostly a package. >>107483474>That's cool, but what exactly *can* I do with one of these?Where does something like that comes from? I swear most of the /g/ haven't seen a mac in a real life.
>>107482543>ProRes videoprores is a simple codec as all intermediate video codecs are, even simpler than h264, a c2d can do prores with no issues and that's how apple did it when it was introduced, and has been supported pretty much everwhere since 2012 or so though good luck storing any project on a 512 gb ssd lmao
>>107488942>I swear most of the /g/ haven't seen a mac in a real life.Nta, but I got a Mac recently and had some trouble adjusting to MacOS, but once I learned everything it's pretty nice, basically Linux but stable and good looking
>>107482566virtualbox? what is this, 2012?vmware workstation/fusion is free now (not like you couldn't just use cd keys off the internet for years lol)
>>107484787It's going to get worse. Apple bought 60% of TSMC's 2nm capacity. Think about it like this. 60% of 2nm logic chips will be locked in Apple's ecosystem and AI will gobble up the rest
>>107482100Now that ram prices are through the roof of the for future MacBook pros are actually looking like a good option for me. I have a pixel fold which means I can airdrop shit to and from a MacBook now so The hurdle of not being able to transfer big files quickly to from my phone isn't even a hurdle anymore (that was pretty much the only thing I missed when I left the Apple ecosystem five ish years ago). I want to be less reliant on cloud providers in order to run models on my own machine. Are MacBook pros good for this?
>>107482543$2k for 36 gigs machine, unreal.
>>107482543Isn't this mogged by $1000 chinkshit like Atomman mini PCs with twice the memory and storage?
>>107483460imagine how old the pc would be if you could replace parts. i have a t420 and t430 still going strong and all i did was replace the hdd with an ssd.
>>107483460>people are still walking around with and using macbook airs from 6 years ago btwI thought carrying explosives was ill eagle
>>107489646now do a test that’s real and takes advantage of the hardware

Apple is basically what people claim they fear Windows is becoming. No piracy apps/cracks, ad's and telemetry, always. Only approved apps.
>>107482443>interacting with android "people"I don't need to send files to my house cleaner
>>107489646Easy with friendly fire there.
>>107491573all wrong
>>107482443the new pixels have airdrop. it'll show up everywhere in a year or two.>>107491573no, people fear windows becoming an agentic os. there's no evidence of macos heading that direction.
>>107483716never happened>>107484281it's nonsense
>>107491573>No piracy apps/cracksThere are countless sites with cracks for MacOS
>>107489457>MacBook pros good for this?don't bother with a macbook. you'll need something like an imac with a lot of storage and ram. for example (price is in aussie dollarydoos):

>>107492311>people fear windows becoming an agentic os. there's no evidence of macos heading that direction.macos has a marketshare well under 10% of the global computing market and hasn't improved at all in decades. windows could drop a new version tomorrow that forces you to post a picture of your genitals and the severed head of your first born child to unlock the computer and it will still end up on more machines than macos
>>107483207I hope you get paid to lie
>>107482209macs are some of the easiest plataforms to pirate on>>107483283considering the beelink uses almost twice the power and has slower storage and memory, I don’t think this is a fair comparison, despite the fact that I would still take it over the mac due to the linux support
>>107492569>mac has higher quality vst cracks>posts links to trash torrent sites with same plugins on windows that are also crackedyou guys here have the shittest source to wares i have ever fucking seen. how is posting links to sites nobody uses a sign of quality exactly, rajeesh? explain that one for us.
