That is the majority of /g/ users though. A lot of us also dual boot Linux but only to rice and show off in desktop thread (I do that). When we want to get things done we switch back to windows 7.

Yeah and they're all going to be made of thick ass plastic and not very portable. And if they are then they're either expensive as hell or cheap with shitty hardware and colored blue or red.

That's literally the whole point of Linux though right? It was just a server OS hacked into a desktop OS meant for those with better than average skills to show how much they can rice an OS. That's it.

From where nigger?

I checked out a Macbook at the Apple store today.

I wanted an Air but seeing the Retina display really sold me on the pro. Having a meatier keyboard doesn't hurt either.

How much heavier is the pro?

>>56945900
Much

>can install windows

Yeah... Good luck with that. Bootcamp utility is the most broken piece of software. Want more than a partition for windows and osx? surprise, you cant. Bootcamp utility refuses to do anything if you partition the drive yourself, and its own partitioning method only allows for two partitions, neither of which can be edited without making your windows partition unbootable. Also, downloading the drivers to make windows work properly is a nightmare if you're on an older machine. It will just download the newest drivers, which are only compatible with apple's most recent macs. If you need an older driver be prepared to delve through the apple support forums as there are no easily find able download links, and the bootcamp 'Downloads' page just says the drivers can be downloaded through bootcamp utility. Running the wrong drivers results in an error, which apple says can only be fixed by upgrading to macOS sierra, despite the fact that it works find if you find the drivers that they have purposely made hard to find.

>>56945900
noticeably heavier

>>56945063
unless that's a 2012 or newer that's not a good deal
also 2013's are when they really start to get good.
>>56945133
that's only the pros with dgpus, specifically the 2011 and 2015, then the 2012 retina throttles to 1.2ghz (which is it's minimum clock speed)
>>56945223
you can tell that that's a REALLY old image since none of them are the new thinner imacs from 2012 or newer.
and some of those aren't even intel macs, so back in like 2004 taking an imac to a coffee shop wasn't THAT bad.

>>56945626
that's just the point ass hat, a fucking 5 year old sandybridge macbook air still sells for $700 on the second hand market, while that piece of shit dell that's a 5th gen i5 dell XPS ultrabook dropped in value from $900-1200 down to $350. windows laptops are fucking garbage, literally. trash to be thrown out

>>56945243
Thinkpads are fine (X220, T420) and if you fell for the thin laptop meme, kys

Should I upgrade my early 2011 macbook pro 15 in with:
>850 evo 500 ssd
>16 gb of ram
>a caddy tray to put the oem 500 gb hdd in

or should I just buy a new laptop?

Runs an operating system that runs programs that are actually useful.

I have a 2012 11" Air. Gave it to my wife, it performs quite well. The only issue I had with it was the ridiculously shitty resolution.

Why is this in the pros list?

Anyway I don't care if some retard decided to sell his for 350$, comparing second-hand laptops isn't valid because that's a volatile price, I can sell one for 10$ and then say LMAO MACBOOK AIRS CAN BE HAD FOR AS LOW AS 10$. On retail, the XPS13 is a much better value.

>>56948587

False, hombre

>>56948764
Oh, so Macbook Airs are sold for 350$ all the time? Show me a couple more please.

>>56945063
> >$350 used perfect condition

You got scammed.

>>56948805
They go for more. If you wanted to sell it for 400, you could have it gone the same day.

>>56948824
You could probably sell it for 600$. Personally, I wouldn't pay over 400$~450$(if in really good shape) for an Air, at that price I can definitely find better used deals.

>>56945063
>$350 used

what? nah man

>>56948846
I'm very happy for you.
How much will your used deal be worth in a years time?

>>56948859
Why do I care? I'm not scraping for change so much that I need to think about how much I'll be able to sweat some moron on eBay for it. Price != quality, anon.

>>56948875
You're worried about spending $400 on a laptop.
You could be buying a cheap used macbook every year, and then selling it for the same or more and upgrading. Sure you can do this with laptops that aren't by apple, but there isn't nearly as much demand for those.

>>56948891
>You're worried about spending $400 on a laptop.
No I'm not, I already have a laptop.
>You could be buying a cheap used macbook every year, and then selling it for the same or more and upgrading.
Or I could, Idk, stick with my XPS13 and not be an idiot constantly switching laptops?

>>56948902
You can do what you want, friend. Nobody is forcing macbooks on you.
I don't like holding onto a laptop that's only going to depreciate in value. I'd rather trade up when I can.

>>56946881
If I thought it didnt matter I wouldnt have a 3200x1800 screen

>>56947229
The version on OP is 1366x768
Then 13" version is 1400x900 which is still worse ppi than 1080p on 15" screen

Ye, is not sexy, is faggot looking

>>56948920
But anon, any macbook would be a leap backwards in time for me. I'd probably end up paying more to go from Skylake to Broadwell,that's the opposite of upgrading, which was the point of your yearly switcheroo.

>>56948965
It works for me, upgraded from 2010 (core 2 duo) to 2014 (haswell) at no cost.

>>56946881
Yea but thinkpads are even cheaper

>>56949022
Yes, I guess going from ancient hardware to a-bit-old hardware is an upgrade.

>>56949129
Still works perfectly, I can't complain.
It's people like you who insist on buying new laptops that allow me to do this, so thanks.

>>56949745
Anon...

>>56949664
Idk, why would you not have a battery in a MacBook?

>>56949853
Are all macfags this illiterate? When exactly did I admit that? I said I could, if I needed to, find better deals. I just never bothered to because, guess, I don't need to. I never made any connections as to previously having found one or not, that was entirely your conjecture. You also never posted the 350$ deal, you don't hear me saying you can't.

This in fact contradicts your previous point, where Macbooks retained their value: so first the Macbook is awesome because you can sell it for little less than purchase price, now suddenly it's a bargain to buy them second-hand?

And my entire point, which you've obviously avoided, was that comparing laptops based on their used price was retarded, since any grandma can post her Mac Pro her son got her for 20$ on eBay because she has no idea what it is. This applies to both of us: wether it be me finding a XPS 15 or you finding a Macbook Pro, that isn't an argument regarding the laptop.

>>56950661
If I'm working with AC connected and the battery has a problem and stops powering my laptop, I'd like to be able to save my work instead of having a catastrophic failure and losing work.

Any laptop between 11 and 13 inches will absolutely be portable, and you use the laptop on a desk or at worst your lap do you not? a few hundred grams won't change a fucking thing, it definitely is not more or less portable, you just got shilled blind you daft cuck

You can install linux on either though so whats the problem, unless you are mentally handicapped to the point you don't know how to install an OS, in which case of course the macbook is the best choice

>>56953726
