The most important profession of all, Linux kernel development, is flawless on the MacBook.

Yeah but it costs twice as much dude, would rather just replace my machine every 5 years and be able to do most things I want to.

But I tip my hat to your superior resale value though :^)

Thermal throttle.

I hope you live somewhere cold all the time.

>>56436834
It runs at .9 GHz. There's nothing to throttle.

>>56436784
How can you do Linux kernel development on this thing if the keyboard, trackpad, sound, etc don't work on it?

Get rid of the huge bezels and it's pretty much the perfect laptop.

Oh and remove the webcam. Who uses that shit anyway.

>>56436883
The development is done in OS X and changes tested on a VM.

Ideally changes will also be tested running on some real test machine.

>>56436851
Even that piece of shit throttles, it is really a scam.

Right at the beginning.

I do think macbooks are really nice and would get one if I had the disposable income to reasonably afford it, but right now I can't justify spending that much on a laptop when I can get one that's better from a hardware perspective for half the price.

If I got one for free though I'd definitely use it

They're more of a fashion statement than a useful tool.

You buy them because they look good and carry status, therefore the owner looks good and carries status. Apple knows this and that's why they charge exorbitant prices and don't give a flying fuck to technicalities. It is the same marketing strategy of any other fashion brand.

I think a lot of it has to do that they know students will buy them with their student loans because at the time its basically "free money" and the largest sum of money they've ever had at that point and are willing to spend it frivolously. Also the fact that a lot of courses put them down as "required", when really any laptop would work just fine

Surely you can imagine many use cases where this thing would run at 100% CPU for many minutes or even hours.

If the cooling solution cannot maintain that, then the design is faulty. Thermal throttling as a cooling solution is simply bad design.

Using a laptop without fans and with an SSD

It’s pretty legit

I have an external HDD for movies though, so my setup isn’t completely silent

>>56437115
I can't. That's why I'm asking you.

I'm waiting for the refresh of the MacBook Air (rumors say it's coming this year) to decide if I get the Retina one or not (or maybe I'll stick with my 2010 MacBook Air). I don't *want* to spend almost €1500 on a laptop, but I need the portability. If it was €200 cheaper I'd already bought it.

>>56437120
Games, rendering of small videos?

At launch date you might think "there's nothing I would want to run in this device that would max it for hours", but then two or three years later, at the end of it's (short) lifecycle, opening ten tabs with shitty javascript now causes the thing to heat to boiling temperatures.

Am I crazy to think that designing proper cooling of a microprocessor is an integral part of making computers?

>>56437115
All laptops throttle under heavy load retard.

>>56437192
If you've bought the MacBook for either of those things you've made a mistake. What the CPU in the MacBook allows is for 10+ hours of internet browsing/word processing/video watching/text editing etc.

Probably, but it's a tradeoff we're willing to make to get more portability. Law of physics apply here and it's impossible to get a desktop-level cooling system on a much more portable machine. If that's not your thing then buy an Alienware gaming laptop or a desktop and leave us alone.

>>56437244
Shit true, but I have really shitty eyes so 1440p onward makes little difference to me. Besides, 1080 is fine, that seems to be what most Macs have anyway.

My gf got a macshit for $700 that has a 1366x768 screen, meanwhile my $200 laptop is just as thin has 1080p touchscreen. If macshit throttles so hard and should only be used for basic stuff why dont people just get a cheaper laptop that does the same stuff for 1/3rd the price.

Wiith semi passivel at least you get the choice to chose power-saving mode thus, passive all the time if you want.


My desktop is also semi-passive, by the way. I made a custom built with a digital thermostat in it to turn off the fan controller when bellow 45C case temperature. Anything besides gayming my computer is always 100% silent. (actually I can hear the high-pitch eletronic buzz of the CPU, which is annoying, my next project is building a foam coated case for my next build).

Imagine a giant cock flying towards your mouth, and there's nothing you can do about it. And you're like "Oh man, I'm gonna have to suck this thing", and you brace yourself to suck this giant cock. But then, at the last moment, it changes trajectory and hits you in the eye. You think to yourself "Well, at least I got that out of the way", but the the giant cock rears back and stabs your eye again, and again, and again. Eventually, this giant cock is penetrating your gray matter, and you begin to lose control of your motor skills. That's when the giant cock slaps you across the cheek, causing you to fall out of your chair. Unable to move and at your most vulnerable, the giant cock finally lodges itself in your anus, where it rests uncomfortably for 4, maybe 5 hours. That's what using Mac OS X is like.

I've been enjoying this since 2012. I use a HP sleekbook with an AMD APU, most of the time it doesn't turn on the fan because it runs at ~40 degrees web browsing without it. Good to know that Apple can now compare themselves to HP in terms of cooling which is quite an achievement as HP is legendary on that front.

>>56441514
>coilwhine from the mobo or the vga or the psu,
Nah, I excluded those, the sound, being high-pitched (around 12~14khz) is very directional, so by putting a smal cloth in top of individual components I could trace the sound origin to the region around the CPU. Well, could the power phases, but there is no coil in that region, The pitch also changes according to the CPU frequency. So it's likely the CPU itself.

High current can create vibration and high pitched sound fairly easy, is not as uncommon as you think.

I also have a Thinkpad 8 with an Atom CPU in it. If I put the back of the table close to my ear, I can also hear some chirping noise coming from it. Cant hear from my smartphone, tough.

Worse regex options in stuff like grep and sed that made re-write a bunch of scripts using complete awkward patterns knowing if I was using Linux it would have been done better and 2 hours ago. find command forces you to do dumb escapes for the --exec flag, which would frankly just be stupid except its not on any of the documentation.

This is all assuming of course that in your life you don't have a need for a mobile workstation meaning essentially a desktop that needs to be moved from place to place but I don't think that situation fits most people.

>>56436708
my chinkpad doesnt have fans anon

Will there ever be an 15 inch version of the macbook or the asus zenbook 3. Would love a thin form factor with bigger screen

>>56437202
My Dell Inspiron 15 sure doesn't. It just cracks up the cooler to Boeing 747 levels.
You should clean your laptops more frequently.

>>56443618
Sometimes I need to compile stuff and the difference in time between my laptop and the Macbook would probably be enough to irk me. As for the fan, I'm browsing right now and watching a 720p movie, it hasn't kicked in. It rarely does (>= 1080p movies I think).

Pretty much anyone with a job in non-web development.

14" would be cool, but honestly just make it use a non-shit keyboard.

In a few years, when fanless laptops become standard and the technology is perfected, /g/ will still refuse to give Apple credit for their innovations.

Screencap this so you can rub it in their nerd faces.

That is more like a rMBP then a bigger 12 inch macbook or zenbook 3. But thanks anyway

>>56443716
We've had fanless laptops before, Apple just took out ports and keyboard travel to go along with it. Truly visionary.

>>56443731
Yeah I'm sure everyone will cite the Ativ Book as the laptop that kicked off the fanless trend LOL

>>56443693
>I'm browsing right now and watching a 720p movie, it hasn't kicked in. It rarely does (>= 1080p movies I think).
It probably won't as long as hardware acceleration is being used. Video is only really stressful when CPU-only software decoding is forced. One instance of this is Chrome which will force VP8/VP9 when it can, heating up your laptop and draining your battery because there's no VP8/VP9 acceleration support.

In short, stick to H264 and you probably won't have heat or battery issues.

>>56443693
>Pretty much anyone with a job in non-web development.
I'm assuming by this you exclusively mean professional programmers which still doesn't even make sense outside of a monetary issue. If you're a poor-ish college student in need of a computer to do all of your work and still be able to move it around then I get it (hence my disclaimer comment). However if you need processing power and are a professional with computing power why wouldn't you just use a server or a desktop for computing power? You can a very light, cool operating, device with battery longevity and still be able to compile things on your non-mobile device. It makes even more sense just do use a vm on a server to compile things because you can allocate computing power as you need it and it won't have to be in your lap.

>>56443731
The fuck are you talking about? That was written December 30, 2014. The macbook air came out January 15, 2008.

>>56443982
The MacBook Air has a fan, it's always had a fan.

I own one and it is effectively silent. The ambient noise in a room is almost always louder than the fan when in use. I can use a program to turn the RPM up to 6500 and then it's audible. Even then the frequency isn't unpleasantly high. And it rarely ever needs max RPM under normal use.

>>56443781
>mactard cares more about marketing than fact

Not surprised.

>>56444072
shite, so it does. I retract my comment.

>>56437159
if they release another air with a disgusting low res TN panel I'll lose my shit

>>56444089
They're going to just kill off the Air line. It'll be MacBook and MacBook Pro again.

>>56437202
>All laptops throttle under heavy load retard.
My dell XPS 13 2015 maintains its maxium dual-core turbo mode for hours of CPU stress testing, most macbooks, not so much.

>>56436779

Apple users can't afford Nordstorm. They've spent all their cash on Apple gadgets, and Nordstrom isn't hip enough for them anyway. You're probably thinking of Urban Outfitters.

Former MacBook pro user (mid 2012). Would never use a Mac ever again. Shit hardware with a pretty case around it. Regarding no fans, that shit got so hot all the time it was terrible. I'll admit it was a solid computer, but was so not worth 3 times the price of an equivalent hardware computer. Using an HP pavilion now, and am so much happier.

>>56436708
of course silent is better. but people on this board don't have jobs so they will hate you for it.

>>56444211
So your 2012 macbook pro had no fans? Try again buddy

I have a Dell V131 that stays pretty cool on Ubuntu. The fans aren't even noticeable running at full speed, and I have an SSD so no HDD noise. I recompiled my kernel with it sitting on my lap

>>56443913
I don't find the gains to be worth the loss. Again, my laptop gets me through a day with plenty of battery left and it's light enough that I can carry it open with one hand. I have to run unit tests and don't feel like setting up a remote environment and having to rsync shit every time I change a line.

I genuinely can't remember the last time my fan kicked in, maybe last week.

That's a lot of surface area if the surface was convoluted. Couldn't you make a pretty powerful fanless system doing that?

>>56438371
Nigga you just went full retard. Linux runs flawlessly on these.

>>56436708
I have an XPS 13 after owning a piece of shit mactoddler laptop. I would never use another laptop other than the XPS 13 ever again. Those bezels are just too good.

>>56445813
You don't own either product

Is this a fully passive thread or a macbook bread?

Because there is a space for fully passive small laptops I feel. Within there it's atom tier shit chips and coreM for lap heaters which still act like computers.

After putting a proper copper shim in my Chinese coreM tablet it ran 10deg cooler and then I undervolted it , rarely throttles during the intel utility stress test, prime obviously hurts it but it never went all the way back down to 800mhz.

On the otherhand macbooks are a nice balance of features but remain overpriced.

>>56445868
I have the rMBP (Late 2013) and the newest Skylake XPS 13. The XPS 13 beats it by a mile in every aspect.

No one reboots their real machine to test kernel changes, dipshit. You can wipe out your data because of a bad pointer. They always have another test machine after they test quickly in VMs.

>>56439672
Had pro 2 and pro 3. After a few replacements within a few years I changed it for a thinkpad.

Hardware (not including the flimsy keyboard cover) is good for the price, but not upgradeable or user serviceable. When two of my surfaces broke down I had no choice but to send my devices to MS. With a normal laptop I could've gotten the m2 ssd or 2.5" sata ssd out of the machine and gotten my data back. I stored all my important data on my home server but still I was kinda fucked as I wouldn't have wanted to send my company's data to MS.

Pro 3's pen, and thus pro 4's as well, is an active stylus. I never liked it.

>>56436708
Does this still burn your fingers during full load like the entirety of the macbook product line?

10 inch laptops.
My Motorola v3 is more of a laptop than this shit.
When will the useless screen size meme end?

>>56436708

The old Macbooks (black and then white) were such solid machines for the price. They seemed to continue that tradition with the air. Even now you can use an Air for nearly everything.

This reintroduction of the Macbook shits on that though, They're nowhere near as good as their predecessors and exemplify the terrible direction apple is now taking. It's pretty sad really.

Thankfully some people haven't permanently damaged their hearing from living in a datacenter. So loud whining or gushing noises do bother them, can cause stress, and even trigger migraines. It's not really something to "get over".

Why would you buy a macbook when you can buy a macbook pro that's superior in every single way for the same price?
The only thing the macbook has over the mbp is the retarded "muh thin" meme that needs to end right fucking now.

This is great, we need more threads like these. Usually it's just some kind of Apple thread and everyone shits on everything they make, but here it's about one specific thing so everyone concentrates on shitting on that and the rest of Apple's stuff is suddenly okiedoke.

The MacBook Air started as a shitty, expensive laptop (2008 model). That model was far shittier than the current retina MacBook, and it evolved to what we have today. Also the polycarbonate white/black MacBooks were shit, I had one.
