Advantages of Mac

Is it 2006?
Macs are personal computers.

OS X is a good operating system if you work in development.

Do you want to game? Get a windows PC.
Don't care about games, have a job, enjoy products with undeniably superior build quality, or want to delve into a very well integrated software ecosystem? Consider buying Apple products.

You can run Windows in a virtual machine inside a Mac but you can't run a Mac inside a Windows machine. Because Steve jobs is a nigger.

Good access to normie closed source software. Significantly less botnet then Win10.

Most companies that let workers have Macs, they aren't as badly locked down as the typical Windows SOE

If something breaks under warranty you can get it replaced at your local store instead having to mail it off to China for a month.

>>55942262
Apple products in general have you covered on whatever problem a system could have, if you dont care about games and being able to manage various things on your system then a Mac is a nice choice for you

Macs are a recommendable choice for programming related jobs and editing since any problem that could come up from system errors or other things are fairly rare on IOS

So with a mac all you have to worry is Your projects, it's rare for a mac to run into some error that affects your project's progress

The build quality is good and attractive, elegant for the public in general and you can get benefits like long term warranty and a long-lasting system

BUT this is the main disadvantage of apple products, most of things are done for you and you can't get out from there, you can get apps from only one place (appstore), if something goes wrong with your system you can only go to one place for propper fixing (and the cost is high) and many consider the cost not to be worth it

>>55942359
>i'm poor, the post
enjoy your viruses and inability to disable cortana

If your a software developer / cs student having a mac is a nice but expensive convenience. Windows is unfortunately a second class system when it comes to developer tools. Linux is the best, but then you have to use Linux.

I have one as my non-work machine. It's pretty durable, I have one from 2012 that is really easy to open up and swap parts out, and OS X is pretty nice for just fucking around.

I bought it used, don't know if I could justify the price new.

>>55942377
>you can get apps from only one place (appstore)

This is absolutely false and nullifies your entire post.

Macs are nice, what is horrible is the fanbase who sports them like a status symbol of superiority as you can see here >>55942380

calm down anon, sadly i forgot to mention there that in general that's how things are for general public(getting things from the appstore) but i believe you would agree that many things on that post of mine are true, don't go all defensive on it, macs are nice it just depends of what you want, same criteria of choice goes for windows and linux

Macs are nice, you could say they are expensive but you pay for a really well one system (i still think that what you get doesn't compensate enough for that hefty fee) but apple is really going full bureaucratic these days with their products and users

DAE group policy? Windows 10 is Botnet as fuck but converting to education, set group policy and block a lot of IPs you can make it sane. I use it for games only though.

Mac's are fine. They're premium products, like exotic cars. OSX is very stable and functional. Battery life is amazing on MacBook models due to each model having specialized settings. Lots of features you miss in Windows are there in OSX, because it is faux-BSD-like, with a fully functional terminal.

But they can never really take the world over. Windows is king for scalable workstation environments, and big data servers will run Linux now and forever.

Using macs just feels good. I came from a shitty dell running Windows 8 and it was horrible in all ways and slow as fuck. I made the decision to buy a macbook and never looked back.

It's smooth, fast, has basically no flaws, and does everything I need it to and more. I had problems with windows every day. I go days or weeks without getting annoyed using os x. The bonet extravaganza that is windows 10 makes me even more glad I made that decision.

>tfw no more Snow Leopard
>tfw no more Powerbook 12"

One legitimate advantage is how all the repairs are well documented for all modern Apple devices. I really enjoy opening them up and appreciating the build quality from the inside during a repair.

Too bad they are going backwards on the repairability of their devices.

>>55942709
Older macs are usually a pleasure to work on, save for imacs. Replacing the hard drive on an imac g3 involves disassembling most of the case and dismounting both drive. Mac Mini G4s are a major pain too.
I have a few powerbook G3s and a powerbook 520. Apple has really gone downhill since then.

>>55942688 , >>55942692 anon here. It's nice to see someone likes toughbooks here too, these iRajeshes can't comprehend the flexibility of having one of those bulky laptops

they can support a fall and other impacts because they are light and that aluminium cast is no joke BUT they can be as fragile as snowflake with little tension feedback, a known problem in computer repair is that any macs end up death by being folded (if someone sits on them, something in the bag pushes against them, you know, common occurences) also batteries, god the batteries, they can get so badly they pop the touchpad right off

what they are, is a very good computer, with a GOAT OS, GOAT customer support, and goat screen/touchables

the "muh hardware is inferior on mac" meme is only because yeah, it's not the top of the line latest retard magnet that's been released, but there is no denying that the hardware is objectively good, and when combined with OS that has been optimized for this particular configuration, you will be very hard pressed to do any better.

basically, a mac is as powerful and performant as a PC with twice the specs. and if you want to build a pc with twice the specs of a mac, you will spend more money.

15" rMBP is the best value laptop on the market.

>>55943025

i think it's more about management options and file structuring and administration+ open source stuff, i don't see such a great advantage from it though, i'm a pc user but i know that you can enter the IOS registry easily and you can customize tons of stuff with just some extra steps more, hackintosh even exists no? i'm already tired of the "who's better " wars why cant people shut up and understand all systems have pros and cons? it's like the bits, bose, senheizer and others battle, it's useless

It has many advantages if you want to do some software development on it. It gives you a modern, reliable and sane desktop environment while also providing a real UNIX environment on the command line. Not to mention the build quality which you can only get in similarly priced (meaning overpriced) non-Mac laptops.

You can get things like iterm+tmux which beats anything in Windows by a light year.

Of course if Linux on laptops is actually good it would not be necessary but that's just not the world. Battery life for example will be absolute shit.

Macfag question.

I'm using a Mac Pro Early 2009 Edition. I've been using the original GPU (Nvidia GT 120) since then. It's falling apart, so I really need to buy a new GPU. I found a site that displays recommended Mac graphic cards [pic]. My question is; do I need to purchase a special mac edition of the GPU in question, or will the standard version work in my Mac machine. I'm looking at the Nvidia GTX 570. The standard version on Amazon is 100 bucks. Do I need to look for a Mac version of the same card, or will the standard version work?

>>55942262
well you don't look like a pedophile for having one

>>55944674
Yes, the highly educated, highly paid professionals who work at the most technologically advanced and successful companies in the world, are totally incompetent.

Certainly less competent than you; you're quite good at ricing awesome so you can watch your anime, I bet.

>>55944690
Lol the salt. I bet you're just upset that OSX really is just an actually usable, stable version of Linux.

If you actually think Windows is somehow the superior platform though, then you must actually have brain damage.

>>55944731
I heard somewhere that you had to get a specific EVGA variant if you wanted a certain Nvidia card in your mac pro. I don't know much anon, but I'd hold off from buying that until you do some more research. Good luck!

>Apple products in general have you covered on whatever problem a system could have, if you dont care about games and being able to manage various things on your system then a Mac is a nice choice for you
yes
>Macs are a recommendable choice for programming related jobs
I'll give you that just for the reason that loonix is even worse than OS X/macos
>The build quality is good and attractive
It looks good, but "build quality" is a total myth. I've had 2 minor faults (still big enough to get me macbook replaced twice) in 3 month.

>>55942281
>OS X is a good operating system if you work in development.

Why? Windows has more dev tools.

mAcOS has outdated versions of GNU Tools because they hate the freedom of GPLv3.
Windows now has Ubuntu userland.

>>55942305

This sums it up nicely.

Been using the same MBP since mid 2012 for 10+ hours every single day, and not had or noticed any of these issues.

The track pad, battery and cooling and resolution are all amazing.

Being this misinformed and angry over an item you don't own and probably cannot afford... lol

>>55942262
There's no advantage, but there's a reason.
It's literally the Apple brand. Unbelievable but it's true. Oh, you'll hear them saying "it has better build quality" or "it's easier to use" but when you clarify what exactly makes their build quality better, for example, it will always boil down to "because Apple". If you don't get why people follow fashion, celebrities and all that, you won't understand why people buy Apple. It's a meme that's been up for way too fucking long, they have lost most of their touch already (confirmed by tablets and smart watches), so things are looking good.

You have Stockholm syndrome. Just because you ruined yourself over a piece of shit does not make it good.

I have used other people's Macbooks, and they are ergonomically horrible. Mind you, I dislike all laptops but these take the cake.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnapaZYD2cU

are macs worth it when they are similar price points to comparable laptops used?

>>55942262
A unix OS with drivers already included, plus xorg replaced with an apple gui.

>>55942262
Good and well designed hardware (but they're fucking it will the new macbook), the software works with a bit of problems but it works, good if you're used to it.
On the other side windows laptops are cheaper to get and you can buy the one that you like more and windows just werks (with 10 they want to stop this, I'm under 7 on my laptop and I think I'll stick with it)

>>55946181

I have a HP with similar specs. The MAC is way faster and much more comfy.

No one agrees with you because that's wrong. Anyone can download packages from the internet and they do.

OS X doesn't use GNU tools, they're BSD.

It ships with an outdated version of bash and gcc.

Figures. I'm going to go play some games on my PC (which is a much better system than anything Apple could ever come up with) now.

>>55947282
You can change the shell to something else or update it, since OS X also ships with zsh and I think one other shell. GCC doesn't exist on OS X, the command is aliased to Clang.

Guess you write buzzfeed articles on your mac, fag?

This thread bring up memories...

I used to defend Windows PCs, but with the way W10 is going, I really can't anymore.

Shame that Apple doesn't sell standard ATX PCs. It's either trashcan or laptop tier performance.

>>55946813
>being this mad

>>55947446
ATX is awful, though. I just wish they had a decent desktop PC that wasn't the iMac. I don't need or want to pay for a Pro and the Mac Mini doesn't have the graphical power I want.

>>55947494
>ATX is awful

It's good enough and it's the standard.
We won't switch to anything better at this point, it's too late when most people don't need big powerful computers anymore.

>>55944704
You don't have to prove anything, we already know you're a waste of space

>>55947526
I'd rather them just do the fancy custom shit they've been doing. The Mac Pro 4,1/5,1 was beautiful.

>>55947545

>>55945808
Windows doesn't even come with a proper shell, popular scripting languages, or openssh out of the box

>>55942377

yeah and get fucked in the ass for a hard drive cable because you were too afraid to go somewhere that is "apple certified :^)"

freebsd, linux, and openbsd have more fucking drivers than windows fucktard

The only thing I really miss is virtual studio

IMO the only reason I'd ever buy a mac is if I went into music production because of the software monopoly then have

>>55943105
I actually don't use a mac, but buying a used laptop... ewww

>>55942281
OS X is an awful OS for development. It doesn't even shutdown correctly. Automator is so dumb it can't fucking finish running sh scripts. And since fucking El Capitan is no longer possible to put your scripts on /usr/bin, also after upgrade the scripts get deleted without a fucking warning.

Mac OS sucks more than windows. Finder is a mess. Mac OS can't fucking wake up my monitor.

>>55942305
You know, your wireless Mac keyboards have an utter shit build quality. I've seen F1 key of one just popping out, and the keyboard had only months of use.

About 40% profit for Apple, that's what, sometimes over 50% depending.

For me the principle advantage of Mac over PC (beyond a few specific pieces of software, although they definately helped seal the deal) was that I got more done with my time.

To elaborate, IMHO the most important thing that both the hardware and software / OS can do is "get out of the way". For any user who needs their computer for work, you get more value by having fewer distractions and bullshit you need to tweak and update.

I'm certain that someone out there built a better rig, pound for pound, than my rMBP for the same money, but that also cost them many, many man hours becoming familiar with components, shopping around, optimising the configuration, setting shit up just the way they like it, but for me my Mac is a tool. It powers on fast, I start typing, nothing breaks, the battery lasts ages, and 99% of the time stuff does "jist werk". I have a PC laying around for whenever I want to go waste a few hours on a game, but I just noticed that an hour of work on the PC didn't equate to an hour of work on the Mac.

In addition; I am no fan if Apple per se. I couldn't give two fucks if you swapped that glowing apple logo for a puckered anus, as long as the computer works the same way. If you work in sound, video or writing, and you're wondering why everyone seems smto be using Macs, beget hold of a used one and decide for yourself. Don't listen to other people, a computer is a computer, just get the best one for the job at hand and duck loyalty.

>>55951868
>building
>a laptop
No, no one did that.

>>55951868
My thoughts exactly, you're alright. Also, with the Mac being essentially a Unix system, it's easier to build scripts, small programs, piping, sshing etc., than on a Windows system. Linux on the other hand is fucking tweaking every day, and I used Linux for about 5 years before I grew up.

nothing? not anymore at least, I've been a mac user for years and apple has been declining.

all the other companies have caught up or surpassed apple products with design and usability.

If you care about security and programming you can install an ubuntu distro which does these things better. A pc is also HALF the price of a macbook. it may not be as polished but its not worth spending an extra $500

Hardware is good enough, very pretty and built well, I personally like MacOS a lot and the retina screens on the Macbook Pro's are really fucking nice.
