I just want to say fuck macbook pro's. I've had this piece of shit for almost 5 and a half year now and the bastard finally gave in. Here are some things you can expect from your laptop as it ages.
>charges only when it wants to
>sometimes you have to sit on the charging brick like a hen to warm it up
>randomly shuts down when you unplug the charger
>a new charger costs 70$ and third party ones may break your computer
>slow as fuck just using firefox, word, itunes, etc
>loud as fuck fan even when watching youtube videos
What were they thinking?
>>57617895
Cool story bro, but I've had my MBA for 3.5 years now, and have experienced no sign of any of the above. I'm all good. Thinking of using it for another three years.
>>57617895
Sounds like a charger issue.

>sometimes you have to sit on the charging brick like a hen to warm it up

>loud as fuck fan even when watching youtube videos
nice meme, used my old 2012 for 3 years and the only time i heard the fans was while rendering shit on my bed.
>>57617895
rofl i had mine for 1.5 years and went through 2 chargers
fan & heat was unbearable
remember i tried to watch movies on it with my girlfriend and it would burn my legs
also the fan was almost louder than the speakers
My macbook pro literally catches fire every time I boot it.
HOW DOES A COMPANY LIKE APPLE KEEP LETTING THIS HAPPEN????

i'm actually thinking about buying a macbook ;-;
>>57618135
My macbook pro killed my little brother.
I still love the laptop though.
>>57618139
you think I'm joking, look it up man I'm not the only one.
>>57618154
What.
>>57617895
preaching to the choir
why do you seek such validation? did you just get rejected over facebook or something?
6 year old macbook pro 15" here. I have these issues:
Rubber feet came off
WiFi only connects when I'm right next to the router
Pretty slow
>>57618154
kek;d
what would you recommend as a budget alternative for the macbook? something that's capable of running one or two light games like minecraft or something, is windows/linux, has long battery life and is equally user friendly as the macbook?

>>a new charger costs 70$ and third party ones may break your computer
Isn't this true for all brands though? A new HP elitebook charger wouldve cost me like 120, ended up paying 70 for an underpowered 3rd party thing.
>>57617895
Had mine for ~4 years now, 2012 first gen hidpi model and it's still solid. Was a little sad the other day because the battery finally dropped below 90% design capacity and I wish I had done the 16gb ram upgrade but that's no biggie
>>57617895
>Slow as fuck just using firefox
>Loud as fuck fan even when watching youtube videos
Firefox has the propensity to use far too many CPU resources, causing overheating. Try using a more lightweight browser.

high five for buying the 2013 MacBook Air, it's great. If only the screen didn't have dogshit resolution.

>I get it, you have trouble with logic and reason with your room temperature IQ
I understand why a NEET would be hostile to Apple products due to their price rendering them unobtainable, but you really shouldn't levy those kinds of insults to your intellectual superiors.
I have an early-2015 rMBP 13" for work and I must say the hardware and the build quality is pretty nice, but macOS is a godawful retarded abomination. I requested a Dell XPS 13 with a Kaby Lake i7 and I'm planning to run Arch on it.

Why does /g/ hate Apple again?

/g/ is mostly autistic neets so they hate Apple products as they're expensive and used by people that don't fall on the spectrum like themselves.

I was once group raped by half a gang of macbooks in a blue bottle cafe...
I have since learned to forgive the macbooks, but I will never forgive the macbook pros... the pros should have known better.

The bundles of sticks ranting about youtube are right, with a condition - they are watching it on firefox.
Safari has never ramped up the CPU on youtube, and new versions of chrome no longer do. Old chrome and firefox? WHRRRRRRRRRRR within seconds of hitting play.
Admit it, firefox devs are just incompetent.

fuck apple and their margins. I want my shit as cheaply made as possible.

To be honest, I'd stop railing against apple if they made their shit affordable... why the fuck do they have to cost so much?

I have the 13" 2013 Air as well. Works perfectly for any OS I need and it was only $620 for the 256GB model. The display resolution is low, but the color reproduction is the best I've seen with TN.

got the 2013 air myself. runs and looks like it's brand new. I can't wait to finally upgrade to a better resolution screen but this machine reports 800 cycles left before battery needs to be replaced so I guess I'll hold onto it for a few more years.

You need a new charger and/or battery.

Poor fag? I doubt the 3rd party ones will break anything.

>>loud as fuck fan even when watching youtube videos
Sounds like you need RAM and a SSD upgrade. Also: Flash runs like dog shit in Firefox. You can watch HD YouTube videos all day in Safari and not speed up the fans.

You need to do an SMC reset you pleb. They shouldn't do that.
'12 MBP here and works flawlessly.
