looking for a macbook experience without paying out the anus

Paying out the anus is the macbook experience.
Other crucial parts of the macbook experience are having everyone be aware you've got a macbook thanks to the glowing Apple logo on the lid and carrying half a dozen dongles with you.
You can only have that last part with other products.

I'm vehemently against Apple morally. I think theyre a despicable company filled with greed and shouldn't be allowed to do business on earth.

That being said, I've been computer less for over a year and have been gifted a MacBook air 11.6" with an i5 and 4gb of ram. I'm just gonna throw in a 512gb 950/960 pro SSD and call it a day.

Kind of looking forward to it since privacy is beyond saving in 2017 and it's basically a stolen device. So I guess I'll enjoy the product since I am not so delusional as to deny the quality of the product. I only need it to study notes and take notes and watch YouTube so it should handle all of that relatively easy. Plus as long as apple does brick the device because it was lost in transit by a shipping mistake then it'll be a comfy fuck you to them.

Off of an i5 with iirc 2gb hd6000 graphics and 4gb of ram on a MacBook? That's a massive exaggeration.

Cognitive dissonance.

>Apple laptop gets sent to facility two months ago
>All departments contacted to see who ordered it
>Month of no response
>Return label made
>Was left behind on shipment after being scanned
>Month later nobody has tried to reship it or claim it and no contact has been made with us.

I work in business and lost shipments happen very frequently. If I hadn't taken it some other fag would have taken it. It's not like I outwardly stole some bodies laptop. It's brand new unopened shipped and forgotten about after 2 months.

I may be reaching for justification but I don't believe so. The package was overnighted and somebody ordering a MacBook on overnight air would have had the issue resolved in significantly less than 2 months.

I believe it's wrong to give apple money for their products. It makes me feel bad to accept the MacBook air and to use it because of my moral stance against it but I'm not doing well financially and need a PC so.

Fuck my morals, senpai. I need to be productive and get my shit together more than I need to bitch and whine about privacy and morals.
