Surface Book (2016) vs MacBook Pro (2016)

Just get Thinkpad 13

>>57698932
What does ThinkPad have that these two don't?

>>57698986
Better keyboard, better cpu, more ports, cheaper price

One runs Windows, that makes anything else preferable.

>>57699075
>768p TN Panel
HAHAHAHAHAHA

Is this the new hipstertech?

>>57701003
Looks like great specs with a much better battery and less than half the price.

If it's hipster, this is the one time I may buy something hipstery.

Macbook isn't spying on you... and the touchpads are really nice.

>>57701364

Explain exactly how MacOS is spying on you. Please enlighten me.

Why not a Dell XPS? They feel pretty premium, though not as much as an mbp.

It's not a bad machine, but jesus every thread? we get it.

I'm getting a mbp for free, so I'm stuck with it.

I wonder if I'll be able to just install gentoo and live without F keys.

The models currently on sale are 1080p default, 1440p as the upgrade I think.

>>57701379
Don't have to spy on you. They're already balls deep.

>>57700931
Holy shit. I'm getting this next time I upgrade.

If theres one thing i genuinely dislike about the Surface Book it's the placement of the headphone jack. Just why.

This is what people never understand. A machine running macOS is very hard to compare to everything else which runs Windows. When it comes to raw computation power Macs can never be called weak at the price points they occupy, a similar priced Windows machine almost always has a higher spec CPU and GPU, but Apple's optimizations are nothing short of amazing when it comes to their computers, they can squeeze power out of a component like nobody else can. Which is why a technically less powerful Mac can do better on the same task than a Windows machine with slightly higher specs.

>>57706090

I agree except it's less about Apple being efficient (they've slowly bloated since Snow Leopard) then it is about Microsoft being absolute shit.

>>57706340
>>57706090
Agree with both of you, but that butterfly keyboard is out. I just cant do it.

Linux on a Latitude or Thinkpad is my only real option. I'm not fooling myself. It's gonna blow big blue Monkey balls, but at least I'll be able to actually type on a non-win laptop.

I'm on the Skylake i7/16gb/1tb model; when it came out a year ago it was $2400. I didn't pay that (long story) but this thing is pretty painful to use. One, I would pay $300 extra for a NOT 4K display (1080p please) that isn't touch. Why? Longer battery, easier to drive, and windows is still shit at DPI scaling. Seriously, so much stuff I do is broken because of the garbage DPI scaling support. I can't explain the amount of jank present in that.

Also, I've had hibernate disabled for a few months because this chipset/CPU or something has a shitty bug where it can't transition to sleep states reliably (last December my logic board died in my bag because it turned on and fried itself).

Macs have warts, sure, but not like this. I hate the super-high-res laptop meme and the touchscreen meme. You can't buy 16gb XPS13 without the high res screen, otherwise I'd have jumped to a new one already.

>>57706465
I hate when PC manufacturers do this shit.

The X1 Carbon required an i7 to get 16GB ram. Fucking no reason.

>>57700931
Looks good

It's kind of sad, but the best computer in the MBP lineup is probably the base 13" model.

>>57700931
For $1300? I could buy a used Razer Blade laptop for $800 and get way better specs

>>57700931
>No name company that could disappear before half the warranty elapses

No, thanks.

>>57707660
half of the advertising copy on that page is just description of bog standard merchant hardware they basically just glue together. 'algorithms' to control the batteries? seriously? also, they're using Y series chips versus U series... even lower TDP...

>>57706198
Holy kek

>>57706090
hackintosh runs worse on the same hardware compared to windows if that's anything to go by

>>57706587
Some times theres weird limitations. Like the only way to get a T430s with thunderbolt was the i7 and no dGPU. Otherwise you'd run out of PCIe lanes.

Quad core W520's had 4 DIMMs instead of two, unlike every other thinkpad that gen.

neither microshills nor appcucks can compete on price/performance/weight

>>57708552
That makes sense - but why you can't use a lower-tier screen on an i7 that is otherwise available with it is just being jewy.

>>57700931
>designed by amateur committee
Wow, can it get any worse?

>>57700931
so what they're advertising is a totally uncooled i7 tablet?

is throttling like a macbook supposed to be attractive?

>>57709199

Nope, you fell for Intel's marketing tactics.

They are re-rebranding the Core M series to i5/i7-Y.. so basically that CPU is a core M7.

>>57706404

Get a used MBP. Drop in a SSD, max the RAM, save cash and get prizes.

Literally fucking impossible on the Dell Australia website. Useless Pajeets have no solution so you have to buy it from America.
