Everything you see linuxfags trying to achieve is to have an OS as stable and visual pleasing as MacOS/Aqua.

If you have never actually owned or used a Mac you are missing out. Granted theya rent as customisable as other OS's but once you grow up a bit you will generally stop caring about icon packs and getting the right gradient in your taskbar and shit.

Programmer, professional tutor and ex-IT Pro reporting in.

Just got my first apple device ever about 3 days ago. macbook air, 4gb ram, 128gb SSD, dual core i5.

Yes. They're actually really in-depth. The keybinds are far more flexible than windows and more powerful out of the box. Comparable to a fully riced arch with all of the bugs and breaks removed.

I didn't pay for the Macbook. And until the last 2 days, precisely one day after owning this seemingly super low powered macbook, I have never considered spending a dollar on such a morally corrupt jew company like apple.

But I can't lie. I'm thinking of purchasing a Macbook Pro. I can't believe how fluid and usable this little macbook air is. A windows laptops with these specs would perform like absolute fucking garbage AND wouldn't have features like bash/decent terminal.

tl;dr Coming from an Apple hater, yes they're super user friendly. best in class touchpad too. I wouldn't recommend you spend your money on one because they're still overpriced. But yeah. if you get one for free I'd opt to keep it like i did.

>>57970663
just because your mother is a coal burner doesn't mean every woman is.

>>57970416
The fact of the matter is that when you buy a Macbook you're buying it because of the really coherent operating system, and how well it works with the hardware inside the Macbook (amazing touchpad, pretty good keyboard, function keys providing useful functions). If you're in the consumer market for a laptop your only other options are shit ugly laptops that run Windows 10 and drain your battery life, and provide you with anything but a coherent experience.

Apple gets a lot of flack (for good reason) but they managed to take Unix, make their own proprietary, consumer friendly spin on the system and, most importantly, they integrated their hardware very well with the whole operating system.

When you buy a Macbook you know that the whole operating system it runs on has been designed with the inputs you interact with it (touchpad/keyboard) heavily in mind. Not to mention the operating system is intuitive to navigate for tech retards and is still bearable for everyone else.

When you buy any other laptop it comes loaded with Windows 10 which in most cases has zero (0) consideration for the hardware you'll be using it with. Maybe the manufacture might give you some really shit touchpad gesture software that Pajeet spent 10 days whipping up, but other than that all they do is load it up with bloatware and sell it to you.

The Macbook lineup is FAR from perfect...

Oh yes. Light years ahead of Windows in terms of being usable (and pleasant to use) by normies. Click on one big icon, get right to work. So simple your grandmother could do it. No dicking around with Windows updates, trying to figure out how to disable Cortana, corrupt registries, defragging tools, slow boot-up times, slow loading of programs, unwanted toolbars/programs/viruses/malware/spyware/adware being installed, etc.

>Wait, did I really say "no floppy"? I did. This is probably the biggest gamble. Third-party vendors will no doubt develop a floppy that will attach via one of the iMac's universal serial bus ports for connecting peripheral devices. (USB is a successor to a range of ports used previously on PCs and Macs.) My guess is that Apple is wrong about home users--most will still want a floppy (or zip drive) and will have to buy an add-on.

http://www.macworld.com/article/1133334/original_imac.html

Considering all these amenities, the most shocking part of the iMac isn’t what it offers, but what it lacks. The iMac has no floppy drive, which might be forgivable if there were a Zip drive or other removable-media option, but there isn’t.

And most dramatically, this new consumer offering has no SCSI port, no standard serial ports, and no ADB ports. Apple has opted to replace these familiar connections with USB, a high-speed serial architecture that has suffered from slow adoption on the Wintel platform despite its technical advantages (see the sidebar “USB: Ready for Prime Time?”). Currently, no USB devices exist for the Mac.

>>57972792
Not super worried about the touch bar. I just want something with a little more power, flexible and options than the Macbook Air.

I don't have plans any time to buy a Macbook pro. They're expensive and my uses are just fine with the Air.

But a 1366x768 screen won't cut it forever. this little 11" air is great to bring to work but when I'm at home wanting to maybe watch some japanese cartoons or look at pictures or just want to program and get shit done a tad quicker on a bigger screen and keyboard, i'd like to have the option to.

But there's an equal chance I'll just build a cheap PC and throw arch on it. But after getting the experience of that macbook it almost feels wrong to think about not getting another one. I'm 3 days in and have had a more comfy experience than I ever would have though.

>>57972663
I guess after so long you grow out of being so close minded. And no amount of activision is going to stop privacy invasion at this point.

>>57972550
Macbooks peaked at the late 2013 MBPr, from then on it the company's taken a nosedive with one retarded, "bold" design decision after the other that come off as nothing more than PR stunts at this point. I wouldn't expect any change anytime soon, unless they really fall on their face with sales figures.

>>57972692
This is true, especially with how fucked up every Windows after Windows 7 has been. There is very widespread discontent with Windows 10, no one is really happy with it, even people that have no idea about all of the privacy fuck ups. Microsoft has been making software decisions how Apple has been making hardware decisions in the last couple of years. I really just can't fucking understand how updates are still such a long-winded process in Windows 10, it can't be this hard, it's worse than Windows 7 or XP.

>>57972878
Don't buy a Touchbar MBP if you plan to install Linux. It has no escape key.

not even normalfags want to deal with windows anymore, and the only alternative they're aware of is mac os
while linux is gaining popularity, it's still far from a household name, not to mention you can't go to any computer store and pick up a machine running linux (unless you count chromebooks or anything running android)

>>57972982
thanks for the heads up but I ended up buying a TouchBar rMBP I'm just gonna get it next year when the price drops a little bit. I heard that macbooks don't have the best linux support either especially retina versions.

Either way if I buy another Apple product I'd leave OSX on it. But I rarely have windows on any devices and currently only use the macbook air and my OnePlus 3. i'm not overly concerned about much right now. I have a laptop and a phone. I'm solid until either of them shits the bed.

If you want to run Linux, don't buy one with a dedicated GPU because it requires occult magic to disable that fucking thing. If you don't disable it, Linux will always use it (Optimus on Linux never ever) and kill your battery very fast. You don't need one anyways. Also, Linux support is on paper acceptable, it's just a lot of painful setup to get all of the basic shit working. There are some features that will never work on Linux, like the webcam, and you can probably count the touchbar in on that since no one's going to bother with it, but i found that acceptable. However even getting the Broadcom wifi working isn't all that easy and you might have to get a Thunderbolt to LAN adapter for the setup. Once you've got everything set up, it's slightly below average when it comes to linux support.

Just as an example, getting the media keys to control the screen backlight required me to write a script that directly echos numbers to a /proc/ file, same for the keyboard backlight, since none of the established methods worked out of the box.

Still getting used to this chiclet/butterfly keyboard. Trying not to type as hard as I'm used to with domed and heavy mechanical keyboards.

That sounds like a lot of bullshit. Even though after all was said and done with building and constantly fixing and scripting arch to have a fun riced desktop experience, I'm finding mac to be much more pleasurable. Although I've got a long way to go before I have 'fluency' with what the mac has to offer I still am already up to the productively level I was with arch. Which was fairly high. Spotlight search is an excellent replacement to dmenu which really speeds up how fast I move around here.

the only thing I could ask for would be an unlocked window manager so I could tile properly. But after finding out that I can't go below a specific window size preset in the interface builder, I think Divvy would suffice for the time being. I GUESS.

that's my main nitpick is not having as much control over my window manager.

>>57972982
I'm using a late 2015 rMBP and feels good to have usb 3 ports, HDMI, SD card reader and an escape key

But yeah, I really don't understand all their "bold" design decisions. Surely they'd have teams of people working analysing market trends, looking for what people want - yet they somehow make their devices shitter every time, I guess because people will still buy them

I guess it's just business on their end; if they can cut down costs of manufacturing, give consumers a decent product, force them to buy a bunch of 'cheap to manufacture, easily breakable, easy to overcharge™' dongles AND still own the laptop market pretty much purely due to their OS and touchpad... why would they waste money adding new features?

They're being somewhat forced into making their phones better because Samsung is actually doing cool shit, Google is just 99.95% cloning their phones, reducing price by a couple hundred $$ and selling them with stock Android and then you have companies like One Plus giving decent alternatives for half the price.

Apparently their next phone will be all glass, no button, and their using their haptic feedback shit to mimmic button press anywhere on the screen, buuuut Samsung is apparently doing the exact same thing, six months earlier and likely a tiny bit cheaper.

Problem is that with phones Android is pretty much better than iOS at this point, so people can actually create competition. Where as macOS is infinitely better than Windows 10 so they don't really have a fire lit under their asses

>>57973429
This. After seeing what OSX can do first hand with shitty specs and having experience first hand with a wide range of phones between google, motorola, apple, samsung and OnePlus, I'm fairly convinced on what you just said.

Apple produces far superior products for the desktop and mobile computing platforms but falls quite short in technology, availability and affordability in the mobile phone department.

If I had to make a prediction is that Android wins the mobile market, Apples falls here and seemlessly integrates their data to iPhone apps. Apple takes over the desktop/laptop PC market releasing a slightly wider and more affordable range of devices. While microsoft still offers Windows on top of a linux shell it's been reduced to a large service company that deals with music services, data services, media devices like the Xbox one and home media players as well as all of their office and corporate solutions.

Show me what features are being scaled back in MacOS and how the new MacBook Pro has lower build quality that the last iteration.

Perhaps I should break it down so the children in the thread can better comprehend.

OP said Mac users are technologically inept.

OP is wrong, seeing as a non-trivial percentage of the software development and security community all use Macs.

Also, if you were pretty good with Arch I'm guessing you'd benefit heavily from downloading the macOS package manager Homebrew. I've never really been an expert with Linux so packages and development are kind of foreign to me but for the people who can utilise it apparently it is fucking amazing. I think you can install a custom window manger, can install all your software through packages so you can just mass update them and have them all in one place, tons of tools for development SDKs and shit - worth a shot if you're interested
>>57973503
iPhones won't just go away, if they can't find an exclusive selling point to their phones to keep them popular they'll end up lowering prices, doubt that will ever happen though. But if their next phone isn't '''innovative''' they're probably going to get swallowed up by Android pretty soon.

Apple will continue to own the laptop space I think. Only way I can see Microsoft coming back is making their own exclusive laptop variant of Windows - which will likely never happen seeing as they already are winning the tablet/mini-pc area with the Surface lineup. Instead they've just left laptops for now and are focussing Apple's shit desktop lineup by making their new all in ones that are coming out and look decent.

I think we need a new player in the laptop department - Elementary OS designing their own exclusive laptops to ship the latest version of eOS? :^)

>>57973371
That's also what annoys me the most in OS X, especially that there isn't a fucking maximize button, and that they don't even have the windows drag-to-corner functionality, you actually have to manually grab borders of windows and drag them around. There are attempts at tiling "WMs" like this one: https://github.com/koekeishiya/kwm

>>57973429
With the iPhone i think it really is PR, they had this theme where every year there was something major to talk about with the iPhone, and it often seemed to have a positive impact, even if the thing that was talked about was negative at face value. They had nothing new, not even a forced "innovation" like force touch, so instead they just took something away this time. It's smart marketing strategy wise. At this point the iPhone isn't really a product, its a subscription and all Apple has to do is push their completely loyal following over the edge with finely tuned marketing to pay the next fee.

>>57973503
>Apple produces far superior products for the desktop and mobile computing platforms
Not really. Even the good Macbooks have major shortcomings. They have terrible overheating issues, especially with dedicated GPUs. Throttling, burning your legs if you have it on your lap and so on. The keyboard is slightly above average, and the average on the laptop market is fucking horrible. Performance is way sub-par, they always lag behind about 1 Intel generation. It's much more likely to be possible to install Linux on an average Windows Laptop than on a Macbook. You can't upgrade or repair anything about a Macbook. Their build quality is good, but far from the best. There's still nothing that beats a Thinkpad, and that even goes for the new ones. Macbooks generally don't last very long, especially with dedicated GPUs. Macbook keyboards aren't spill proof, and a nightmare to clean. The new MBPs have soldered in SSDs, so your data is completely lost if your motherboard dies, unless you hire professionals to extract it.

>>57973371
You could try Spectacle, it's a neat lil program that pretty much gives me what I want from tiling wms on the Mac

As for the laptop market I'd say Apple will continue to dominate and it'll only change if they do something really scummy and lose their 'credibility.' Windows is just too shit of an OS on a laptop and Linux is just too complicated for the general consumer

When they do figure it out they feel a sense of superiority like they're more intelligent than everyone else thus they start buying nothing but Apple products.

>first thing is taking fingerprint
Even police don't know your fingerprint if you weren't criminal. What is wrong with people to send fingerprint to jews?

>>57973361
thats a thing on the new ones. it figures if you open up the laptop, you are trying to get on it. without using one, it seems kind of stupid but I guess it makes sense because every time you flip the screen up, you press the power key? If its not sleeping.

obviously there'll be those odd times where you want to have it shut down to clean it or something, but that doesnt happen often. I still don't know how to completely feel about the change either

>TLDR: Yes it's for retards that couldn't figure out how to use fucking Windows.
This nothing more nothing less

The building materials of a macbook are way better than anything else on the market, the OS is optimized to work better with the hardware, battery life is awesome.

I get a lot of idiots buy it because it's more expensive or whatever, I bought my macbook second hand and I paid like half (which is what it should worth). I don't know, I have my PC that I build, but for a laptop I need something that just werks, that's durable and won't give me anything else to think about besides the programming itself, when you're in a hackathon you need to work fast.

>>57970426
I am glad I don't live in the US. Are all the girls spoiled princesses like this?

>stupid people make stupid decisions
Shock!

>>57979442
How are the building materials better than a thinkpad's magnesium roll cage or a xps' carbon fibre + aluminum? Both of these don't use glue to hold down components btw.

>>57979383
What kind?

>>57979592
The unfairest kind

it's because it's well-designed, OP. i'm sorry that triggers your delicate sensibilities and apparently everyone else here.

>>57970426
i didn't even know that Trolli is known in the US. Is it common in the stores?

My MacBook's crisp 16:10 display is like a gift to my eyes every morning.

The alternative for a portable machine is either a pad, which is shit, a laptop which will melt everything inside of itself just running basic shit or a fucking huge beast that weighs the same as your 12 year old cousin just to get adequate cooling

For desktop, there is no question - Mac is not worth getting since there is now no supported option where you can upgrade your machine. But for portable work or home use, a Macbook Pro is the best machine for the job

How can people say OSX ain't easy to use?

You drag and drop shit. You need the terminal perhaps as much as you do on Windows and every production program or """"app"""" is also made so everything is easy to use.

I like loonix better but I still don't understand what's so hard about OSX. I could expect any bimbo to use OSX easily and the default browser (safari) doesn't suck as much as edge does.

>>57970454

>>57979636
>everyone is dumb but me!

Its a Status Symbol. They by it because the Consumer Colture tells them its the Hip/cool/trandy thing that attractive and popular people use.

The specifications and quality of the Macbook are meaningless. Its entirely to display conformity and wealth. Hence why people by Fashion brands like Gucci and Armani even though the clothes are made in the exact same sweatshops right next to bargain brands for JCpenny.

As for the overall quality of the laptop? Its a mixed bag. alot of the components are made by FOXCONN in China and are very low quality but theres also some components that are good like a 5K IPS retina display.

The whole thing is bundled up in the minimalist aluminaum shell with a polished finish that does not disipate heat very well although this could be due to shitty low end made in china heatsinks inside and not the case itself.


The biggest problem overall though its that its overpriced as fuck. You are over pay by several hundred dollars or more for every Macbook you buy and you can get much better hardware from Asus/Acer/MSI for the same money.

If you want gayming then you would be a moron to buy Apple since they either have just an Intel IGPU or a low end AMD GPU and the primary use case for Apple is a high end Retina Display for Photo/video editing which you can now get from other companies for the same or less.

>>57979679
My XPS 13 running Fedora gives me ~9 hours of battery life and hasn't melted.

>>57979795
And what do you run on it? I could get 9 hours of battery life on my shitty Acer if I didn't use it for much other than notes

My MBP can run several design programs whilst rendering video and still be cool as a winter's day with great performance on everything. Never been able to do that with a regular laptop, I've had a Thinkpad with great specs and it still had the overheating problem

>>57979876

>>57976524
he is right. If police comes and asks you to give your fingerprint without any reason would you give them ?
Since apple is part of prism, how can you be sure they won't send your data to the USA gov ?
No really, accepting such thing is just beyond retardation

"do school on it"
"editited"

>>57979987
>rates temp as a 95%
You sure you didn't link me the wrong review or is this just theoretical? For the most part in every section they said the machine is excellent other than for modern games on settings other than low. And again only a fool plays games on a laptop because of the close proximity of parts. Most of the links I found complaining about this so called throttling were all trying to play videogames.

>>57979653
I just bought a bag of it. Its pretty common here.

>>57972128
the man who answered 20, just didn't want to look like pedos, in reality they meant 18.

>>57980103
20 is clearly the lowest option they were allowed to pick

>>57979987
They offer low profile laptops with GTX 1060's and i7HQ processors on a 144hz/IPS screen with integrated G-Sync for only 1600$ now.

Its kinda retarded to buy Apple at this point unless you need a 5K retina display and if you need that then you would have a stand alone monitor for a workstation and the gaming laptop could plug into that display and drive it far better with that high end GPU that a macbook with AMD ever could.

Even if you have a hard-on for the Apple OS then just wipe your better MSI laptop and install Apple on it instead of windows.

>>57980103
The anon that wrote 18, just didn't want to look like pedo, in reality he meant 16.

Friendly reminder that a girl is fertile and ready to perpetuate her species from as low as 12.

>>57980174
As recently as 150 years ago it was common practice for girls to be married as soon as they got their first period. However hormones in modern dairy have accelerated puberty so the first period usually would have been 14-ish not 12 back in the day.

>>57975533
Quick boot is not booting, it is restoring an hibernated session. It's cheating.
Now, try doing a proper boot, hold SHIFT when clicking the shutdown button or just reboot and see the difference

Of course, because even the shittiest MacBook Air comes with an i5.
Have you ever seen a MacBook with a Celeron or a Pentium? You never will

>>57979559
Apparent quality vs. real quality. Apple does give the first one.

Finder looks and feels retarded if you compare it against Nautilus or Windows Explorer.

decent quality, but you don't really get much

>>57980347
The I5/i7's in macbooks are heavily marked up and often are binned at lower base/boosts

The sad thing is that when Zen gets released the Macbooks will have them but will heavily mark them up while pretending they have amazing new shit that no other Laptop has.

Although is AMD can get its shit together and make a proper APU with 8/16 zen cores and a Vega GPU with HBM integrated then Apple will finally have a MAcbook thats even remotely worth a fuck hardware wise but you can guarantee they will charge an arm and a leg for it.

Getting an Acer Predator 15 GTX 1070

Unless you guys have CHEAPER options

The problem is this cost me 2000 USD (i live in the Philippines, tax is crazy high)

Only the truly technologically literate use IBM GAMING TOUGHBOOKS

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2ID4HwJtJ8

>>57970416
Because they are status symbols. All they use it is for facebook and twitter anyway.

Everyone shut the fuck up

Macbooks/iMACS are great for designing

It's for designers and multimedia artists

That's it

It's because of "known unknowns and unknown unknowns."

People know that they're mostly clueless about computers, or technologically inept as you put it. What they don't know is how unaware they are about the possibilities. If you can't imagine how things could be, you can't even start to be unsatisfied with how things are. You start to take certain ideas as facts of life, such as
>Windows is hard
>Pretty things are expensive
>If everyone else uses it, it must be good
and so on.

People do what they know, even when it comes to their own ignorance.

MacOS is well configured and ready to use out of the box. Can't say the same about Windows, which nowadays comes with malware/adware even on a clean install and requires hours of tweaking to be usable.

Macbook hardware is good too, for most needs.

It all makes for a very normie-friendly experience.
