Congratulations, you played yourself.

>Dell Latitude
>better hardware, better design, more useful
>3 years of onsite warranty service included in the price

If something does happen to go wrong they'll come to my location and fix or outright replace the machine entirely.

For the cost of a Latitude I get all that and more, and I can OSX/macOS in a fucking VM so, who needs an artificially hardware constrained MacBook when Latitudes are simply better overall?

>>56885644
Razer Blade, Dell XPS 13, Toshiba Kirabook, Lenovo Thinkpad x260.

If you're getting a MVP you might as well get a thinkpad. The macbook air however can't be beat

>>56885644
>3 year old hardware

>>56885732

>>56885644
I actually don't need all that shit, so I'll just pay less for something with an OS that is actually decent.

>>56885755
>The macbook air however can't be beat
Zenbook 3 will be a game changer.
Had a go on a Xiaomi air, they are decent and dirt cheap.

I do like OSX devices as a JS dev for work, which they provide me.
But if it's my money, I'd rather go with the Xiaomi or the zenbook if it lives up to the hype.

>>56885835
>prefer OSX devices but have company pay for it.
honestly, this is the only sensible way to do it.

>>56885858
I was on a MBP 15 inch, which is a decent but of kit, however they forked out and got all the devs new dell xps 15's, 4k displays and ludicrous specs.

Ok, so you mean one of two things here:
>buying a botnet-in-the-bios infused thinkpad that does have decent hardware, but you can't install linux on because of the special RAID bios
or
>buying an 8 year old laptop with a shitty core 2 duo chip with literally no modern functions on the board

Both suck. Lenovo is dead.

Not necessarily, Lenovo make similarly priced and even more expensive machines than Apple, as many other brands do.

I bought a $1500 laptop for travel/work and gaming when on business, for example. Apple machines are decent, but definitely not the best.

mac all the way, just the feel of using a mac and osx is so much more refined.

Don't know how to explain it, but it just works.

>>56885644
You have two options
a) Stop being poor
b) Stop complaining about the products sold by a company that doesn't affect you if you don't pay any attention to them

The fact that you are complaining about the products sold by a company that doesn't affect you if you don't pay any attention to them is solid 100% proof that you are either retarded or a paid shill.

The base model rMBPs are competitively priced, but Apple remains the worst at price gouging on upgrades. They'll charge an additional $300 just to take the SSD from 128gb to 256gb. That's really bad.

That's why Hackintosh is the way.

Im not really a mac user but I always respect how long they last. Alot of people I know with macbook pros have them last for a good 5 years and they don't seem to have any problems or slow downs (unless you're playing a game or using other taxing applications of course). I couldn't say the same about any windows laptop, or even a desktop in some cases. Just about every single windows laptop I've ever used or seen being used is laggy even on just the desktop after a few years. I know I'm going to get replies saying people are doing something wrong, and while that might be true, you can't deny that macbooks have superior optimization and I'm pretty sure that you just don't notice the lag in your 3 year old windows laptop because you're just used to it by now.

tldr macbooks aren't that pricey considering you can use them just fine for 3+ years

Not only yourself, you played a company into thinking their product is "successful" which in turn they will trick MORE people into buying their turds.

When you play yourself, you play society, too. Business is full of evil marionettes.

Why do you still post about this? If I had a dollar for every time I saw this exact post I'd be able to buy your overpriced Facebook machine.

why dont you just buy a [some laptop] that is better in every aspect?

The [plastic trackpad] is great

I guess I'll just get windows for my laptop.

I can't even remember the last time Windows crashed or slowed down for me.

>>56892098
that isnt necessarily a bad thing unless you need it. especially with the new osx update, thing that didnt before now switch over to dedicated. for example, ms remote desktop never used to care and now it not only forces dedicated when you launch a session, but even when you close the session it continues to stay on dedicated.

my macbook now sits around 95* almost all the time, and since the new osx update also broke the program that let you force the integrated gpu, there is nothing i can do about it
