Is there a better 4chan shitposting machine than the Apple®

>>57297736
>shitty 1440x900 TN
Yeah, I would prefer something with TrackPoint(tm) to this abomination.

>>57297817
it's better than the ips displays of Asus, Lenovo and other sub 1000$ laptops

>>57297843
this is actually true. The screen is only relatively bad when comparing them to a pro screen.

>>57297736
Looks like a toy.

I don't understand why Chromebooks are becoming so expensive.

so normies can brag about the price, it's really important to them to get that tiny ego boost

>>57298784
i dont either, i actually am looking for a shitposting like machine just for retro games and irc maybe, i dont know what to get.. was thinking about a powerbook actually mainly because ive never used mac and would like to fuck around with it some.

My Toshiba Chromebook (1st gen) was like $200 and I loved that thing. Now I just want one like it with 1080p, backlit keyboard and more RAM, but it costs more than fucking double the price for new ones?

Sounds to me like a triggered normie

sorry to beg for advice, but

I need a laptop for under 1000, which I'll use for just a few things:
browsing (I often have 40+ tabs open at a time)
word and light excel
maybe mathematica
watching movies

I need it to last for three years or so

is the 2015 air for 850 a good choice? should I get 3 year applecare?

>>57298658
A lot of android devs use macbooks
Hell a decent amount of android devs use iphones as their main phone.

>>57297736

Comes only in silver so no thanks.

>>57297736
it's super comfy

>>57297736
>>completely silent

You mean

>CPU throttles to 20% within seconds of starting to do anything compute heavy

>>57298614
This, I came to one from a Thinkpad X201, the screen is way better unless you're comparing to a rMBP/XPS 13 screen.

>>57299328
You've come to the wrong place for advice, faggot. Dis place fa shitposting homies

>>57300308
you prefer the Air to the X201?

>>57300266
I fail to see how that doesn't make it completely silent...

>>57300451
Yeah, the Air has around equal performance except it runs a lot quieter and has longer battery life. I know that the X201 has the legendary Thinkpad keyboard but the Air still has a great keyboard. Touchpad is way better on the Air as well, only real benefit of the X201 is upgrade-ability and user-serviceability, since everything is soldered in the Air.

>>57298784
The same thing is happening to the Android phones. They want a "quality" feel attached to their product which comes with "quality pricing".

>>57297736
>16:10 screen necessary
Just get the pro senpai, better screen/specs/resale price.

>>57300487
>since everything is soldered in the Air.
The SSD isn't, for a start.

>>57298658

Most Macfags don't have iPhones. You wouldn't know this because you're a clueless cretin.

>>57299328
friends?

Why?

most efficient way to get things done; for a given task, search, open all promising links in new tabs, then crl+tab through them, closing whichever ones don't suit my needs, then ultimately bookmarking or reading the remaining ones

often I'll have two such processes, in different stages, going on at the same time; eg., in one window, looking through an online store for a gift for mother's day, while in another, looking through jstor for articles for a research paper

>>57297736

I actually quite like Apple MacBook hardware.

I tend to run Linux on them, but having said that I'm still using an 8 year old MBP that just refuses to die.

>>57298773
I love the Dell Chrome 11, has a decent celeron, 4gbs of ram and 32 internal I believe. It's really tough and ideal to toss around in your backpack, can take a beating without problem.

>>57299011
all c2d laptops are noisy. maybe try a mba made in the last 5 fucking years

>>57299328
Yes, absolutely. No applecare isn't worth it. Just buy it with your Visa for the extended insurance offered by Visa.

>Glossy display
>Better than any other matte IPS display
Okay anon.

>>57302458
if you aren't retarded and use it outside glare isn't an issue.
indoors glossy is obv better due to superior contrast.

>>57297843
where is the evidence

>>57300681
Because why close tabs to websites you go to everyday when you can have them open. I use a tab tree to organize them. Makes surfing easier for me.

>>57302572
>Implying glossy display aren't just a marketing trick
>Implying greater contrast means better colour accuracy
>Implying professionals use glossy display
>Implying I don't want to use my display with the curtains open

>>57302760
please learn what contrast is.
http://www.avsforum.com/forum/139-display-calibration/852536-basic-guide-color-calibration-using-cms-updated-enhanced.html

>>57302835
I know what contrast is. There's no point designing / editing on a display with increased contrast if it's not accurate to what you'll get after your designs go to print.

>>57302760
>>57302890
matte display: black looks grey
glossy display: black looks black
bonus: better contrast

>>57302926
So why do all professional designers and photographers use matte displays then anon?

There's a reason all desktop monitors designed for colour accuracy are matte.

>>57302959
>There's a reason all desktop monitors designed for colour accuracy are matte.
which is?

>>57302926
matte=office use
grain free matte=prosumer
glossy=consumer

>>57303055

The sRGB specification assumes a dimly lit encoding (creation) environment with an ambient correlated color temperature (CCT) of 5000 K.

OS X use has declined a lot in the last two years at Google. Goobuntu on high end Chromebooks is much more popular now.

>>57304034
What's better over the rz4?

Also a rz6 is in the works

>one on ebay in copper/blue for an affordable $1700
I may have to be very irresponsible, just this once

>>57297736
The new Macbook (non pro) is actually NICE.
It has a long battery life, and has no fans. Perfect for the average joe and their daily Facebook status updates.

What's NOT good about it is that it has only one USB-C port and one headphone jack, and that it costs way too much for what it offers - 1300$. If it were in the 500-600$ range, it would be a no-brainer to buy one.

Glossy adds shine, which affects highlights, shades and hue.
