Is there any reason to use Apple computers over GNU/Linux or Windows?

No Gentoo is better

>apple computers

theyre exactly the same as linux and windows computers, they have a processor, they have a hard drive

if youre talking about the os then is just depends what you're like. for example, if you like to play games you should get windows, if you like to be productive and have an operating system that caters to you then get linux, and if youre a babby who likes shiny displays and drinking lattes at starbucks then you should get apple

>>55199788
No.

If you want something more Unix but with some of the programs people complain that GNU/Linux doesn't have.

>>55201816
this, but neckbeards will never understand

It's like having a linux distro with actual supported shit, except it's proprietary. That's it

>>55199788
They're pretty I suppose. And I guess the OS is nice and simple for "creative minds".

But really, why spend upwards of 100USD on a computer with hardware that wasn't even top of the line four years ago?

OSX wins on usability. You really need to experience it to realise just how many small improvements there are over Linux or Windows.

>macshit
>usability

I've done linux for a bit, and there are some pretty straight forward and easy distros out there but I don't want to spend time trying to support my OS. I don't want to have fix issues with multi monitor support or trying to find a software alternative. OS X "just works" as the saying goes. It gets out of my way so I can focus on other shit. If fine tuning your OS and environment interest you, go linux.

>>55201888
>I don't want to have fix issues with multi monitor support
So why would you use the steaming pile of shit that is OSX?

>>55201870
Yeah I've got to say I tried an XPS for a few days and returned it since productivity wise I prefer OS X. My air was recently destroyed by my cat so I'm holding out for the pro refresh

>>55201896
Yet to have any issues.

Only if you can't afford Gentoo.

These. Just install hackintosh and use it for a couple months as your main OS, you'll love it. Window management is shit without Spectacle.app and you do need to adjust to Finder, but the OS has so many little conveniences all over it that you just can't go back.
Just don't try to play games on it, gaming is a train wreck on OS X.

haha that was 2013, let it go. I watched that video in full screen without either of my other screens going black. What kind of dumb ass argues a bug from 2013 as to why a tech product in 2016 is so worthless only shills would support it?

>>55202035
> >try to full screen video on one display

Surely that's some player-related issue, no?

BTW, I've heard that a lot of Apple's top talent left when the stock hit astronomical levels. But I still think that sounds like a dumb application.

That's what you get for not using a dated chinkpad. Apple also uses dated generic intel platforms for a reason.

>>55199788
Not really. I have an old shitbook just because knowing how to use osx, windows and linux looks good on resumes.

To use an specific computer over an operating system?

If you want a reason to use an apple computer in general, I would say that they have really nice screens and trackpads. But that is it.

If you want a reason to use the OS which you don't need an apple computer for, well, it's pretty locked down, but the UI is at least consistent, it's fairly simple to use, it's more of a system for people who want to get to the point.

Windows 10 is an app-centric OS that is great for playing the latest and greatest video games, as well as consuming all sorts of media. It also supports Adobe software, making it extremely powerful for the power user in all of us.

Why do people who don't use Macs get so angry at people who do? I've used the same Macbook since 2009. I like OS X, I've never had to repair, reinstall the OS or replace parts, I triple boot with Windows 10 and Mint and I still get 5+ hours of battery life while growing this shit hole. It's the most reliable computer I've ever owned.

Expensive as fuck but to me it's worth every penny.
I didn't have any major issue with my macbook, it still looks and feel brand new compared to every other laptops I had which physically deteriorate after like 6 months of use.
Can chat / call / walk in an apple store for any reason and get my cock sucked by their support team which resolve any issue as if they were your slave.


If you need a work machine and have the $$$ then just do it.
Even for gaymen, just plug in a GPU in thunderbolt and you have a desktop computer fitting in your backpack.

That's a setting dumbass, they assume you don't want the other screen on because you're watching the video. Uncheck the box and carry on with your pathetic life

I doubt it's in System Preferences. With the video player open hit Cmd+, and search for a setting in there

>>55199788
Everything works with little / no configuration.

1. Secure cloud password backup.
2. Laptop tracking in case stolen.
3. Photos sync between iPhone and laptop.
4. Actually decent built in Apps (Photos, Apple Mail, Calendar, etc.)

Sure, if you want to tinker with your OS and environment, it may not be the best but I stopped doing that when I was 17.

Most definitely in the video application preferences.
