I got a 2012 Retina today and feel intense guilt for not getting the standard. Did I goof anon?
Are they much less trouble than a PC?
I like things that 'just work' and my PC usually does but can I have the opinion of people who have used both?
yes. macbook pro 15 inch 2015. also a thinkpad and a desktop pc. i like computers, all this elitism about whether or not you dorks like macs or not is stupid.
>>57973105
Pretty sure the retina's released in 2013. Im happy with mine, but the low res does annoy me sometimes. Is it worth the extra $300+, probably not, especially if you have a desktop with a decent monitor.
>>57972815
>Do you own a Mac?
Yes, I'm also a huge faggot that loves dick in my mouth&anus
>>57972815
yes
>>57973189
They definitely started in 2012
>>57973221
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacBook_Pro#Third_generation_.28Retina.29
So they did
>>57973189
>>57973221
Very end of 2012 they put the first 13" Retina out.
Hard to say, if you're not on a tight budget it's worth it for the lightness and crispness alone, if its going to be a casual second machine or you don't have an extra few hundred to spare I'd say just pop an SSD in an older Pro
>>57973245
I only know this because I'm frantically looking for a 2012 non-retina 15"
>>57973257
Mine is my main laptop, but i also own a desktop that I use for more serious stuff, the Macbook then just becomes a light browsing and shitposting Machine.
I put a 500gb Samsung 750 Evo SSD in mine and I love it, it makes the machine quite nippy.
>>57972815
Yes. I run a Plex server from a Mac mini late 2012 + 4tb external drive. Don't use it for anything else. Works well for my needs. Picked it up cheap brand new from a buddy that was hard up for money
>>57972815
yes, 2012 model, probably get myself a 2015 or beforefaggotrymemebar2016 model later on when they drop price.
>>57973317
You're probably at a sweetspot Pre Retina then, maybe play with one in a mall sometime just in case it blows you away
>>57972815
Yes, it's fucking shit.
It was alright in OSX Mavericks, but Yosemite and later is just such a bog on it.
Haswell Retina 13 here.
>>57973454
I've seen and used them before, but I cant justify the cost for the upgrade, even if i tried to flip this one to subsidise it. Getting one with high enough capacity for me would be costly also, as i would need the 512gb, as 256gb is just not enough for me. When this one eventually dies, ill probably replace it with a Dell Latitude, as the cost of the new pros is slightly beyond my budget.
>>57973730
Get fucked, wanker
>>57972815
Nope, I got something far superior, the Dell XPS 13.

There are quite a few games that work in macOS. Most of them run significantly better in Windows 10 via bootcamp but simple shit like Half-Life 2 runs fine on even a MacBook Air.
>>57972815
Yes. A MBP mid-2012 With BootCamp of course. The Windows side takes up more than 2/3 of the hard drive since MacOS a shit. Kind of want to sell it for a Windows laptop but the configuration of my device (besides the GPU) is too good to ditch it for lower-spec'd ones. 8GB of RAM, Intel Core i7, and 750GB HDD. I wonder when I will really get a new device....
Yes.
Yes, it was great when OS X was great. The past 3 years for my 2011 Macbook have just gotten worse and worse. I now dualboot it because I am still stuck with an iPhone and am married to iTunes still. The whole direction Apple has been moving in since Steve Jobs croaked has just been horrible. Their build designs on their newest laptops are abominable. Also their OS's for their Computers and their phones is just garbage. Their desktop OS is not stable. It is riddled with bugs if your machine is over a year old because their developers do not care about the older models. Most problems, if they are ever fixed, take months to get resolved. When I do run OS X it is basically stuck at running around 3 gigs of ram with nothing open. When I boot into linux it is about 1.5 gigs. Also Gnome is so much better than Aqua can ever dream of being. You can actually customize it, which is something apple can't accept. They don't understand that people aren't content with a boring, cluttered UI.
>>57972815
Not personally. I have to use one for work, though.
Quite a few
>>57975041
I am soon to ditch my macbook for a Thinkpad x230 T. I am so damn excited to have a laptop that doesn't leave red marks on my skin from overheating.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SswMzUWOiJg
Why I don't own a Mac and never will.
>>57975086
Forgot to mention that I got it in early 2013 for just $850 which was a hell of a deal back then. I have a clear case on it so the heat isn't as apparent.
>>57975060
I have 2011 15" with 500GB SSD, 500GB HDD, and 16GB RAM. I use it every single day and it has not slowed me down.
I do. I got it for 300 bucks off a friend after the HD drive. Replaced the cable and the HD with a 500gb SSD and I gotta say, this is the best laptop I've ever used. I would never pay full price for one, but they're great laptops.

late 2011 MBP: i5, 8 gigs of ram, 1 TB harddrive. 3/4 of my hardrive is running Debian. I use linux 99% of the time. It is the only thing making my macbook enjoyable to use for me. OSX is still on here because it is the only way I can get the photos off my iPhone.
Yes I am a hypocrite, but I will be ditching this computer soon. It is starting to show it's age and the replacement battery I got a year ago is starting to swell.

It's a fucking pattern. Cut one of the faces out and recreate it yourself, you worthless sack of shit.
Yes, it's my first, bought two months ago. Not quite a convert yet, but it's not bad. Looking for a new laptop last October, I wanted something that had good screen resolution (I actually had to scale the screenshot because it was over 5 megabytes) good graphics capabilities, ans was portable. I also wanted a traditional laptop, without a touchscreen or a ton of gimmicky shit I didn't even want that would break anyway or become unfunctional if I switch to Linux or even just reinstall the OS. The 13 inch Macbook Pro was everything I was looking for, aside from being a Mac, so I thought I'd give it a try. It even has GCC, Vi and Emacs as well as some other tools I'm familiar with from Linux.
Yeah, it's alright. Upgraded from the non-touch version, had a 2013 air before that.
>>57972815
Yep
>>57976371
>that image
I'm stilling using m 13" MacBook from late 2008.
I'm not sure what it's going to be replaced by. a MacBook Pro with the options I want is about $1,900 after taxes. There's the Air, but I refuse to buy one with a TN display that isn't 1080p/1200p or better.
If I decide my preference for OSX isn't much of a priority for me, I'll likely just go with a Dell XPS 13.
Used to. Bought a second hand core 2 duo Macbook (6.1) but after a couple of years it just fucking stopped working one day. Only computer I've ever seen do that. dead logic board apparently. I liked Snow Leopard but the computer was meh. Ugly white plastic and suffered from serious cooling issues. Would not buy again
Haven't been a mac guy my whole life but I recently have been lent one for work and also use it for school work. From a developer standpoint and non neet, it's a very solid laptop for general code/work that functions similar to Linux(muh bash) without making you look like a virgin. I don't see anything wrong with a mac other than the price point if you're not aiming for raw performance.
2012 MBP master race. Plenty of room inside to upgrade anything i can imagine. Popped in 16gb ram for 94 bucks a month ago. Fucking screams now. May add an SSD at some point but right now I simply don't need it.
Can someone get a screenshot of macOS at 2048x1536? I want to see what it would look like on an iPad 3 screen.
>>57972815
Nope, but I do own the Dell XPS 13, the best laptop of 2016.

MacBook Air 2011, my last. Haven't used it for like 6 months now. When there's no positive to using them (Aperture is kill, the browsers have gone to shit, I switched to Android so none of their integration stuff works) all your left with is the shitty Apple special snowflake stuff like insisting on the CMD key for shortcuts, home/end keys that don't work properly, and the choice between either playing cat-and-mouse with a Hackintosh or getting some overpriced shit with soldered RAM. Bye bye Apple goodbye.
yup
>inb4 antique oldfag
No real reason to upgrade desu, it just works
>>57977115
What did you replace it with?
>>57977192
Is that Panther? can you even browse with that? I know OS9 has a modern browser, but i dont think Panther does.
>>57977220
XPS 13. It's a 13 inch laptop in the form factor of a 11 inch laptop. It's absolutely fucking amazing.
>>57972815
yeah, i use a mac. so what?
>>57977220
Thinkpad X220 meme for now, while I readjust to Windows. It's a breath of fresh air having built-in ports and stuff, that's for sure.
So far found that I don't actually miss the pretty and thin housing, most of the time it's the screen I'm staring at and I swapped that out for IPS.

El capitan works great for me, upgraded from yosemite to much better performance / smooth animations and full frames in shit like 4k 60fps youtube. unforunately sierra ruined all that so i had to go through a convoluted process to roll back to el capitan (which again, still works flawlessly)
>>57972815
Yes, I do. It's from like 2001, and we've learned from that costly mistake.
I was thinking of installing BSD on it, but I'm not sure it can boot from anything but the hard drive.
>>57972815

Mine is a 14". It is in very good condition and the battery in it is in good shape. Too many clowns on Ebay trying to sell iBooks and Macbooks in horrible condition with knackered batteries.
One thing people never mention about Macintosh is how nice the fonts are on it. The fonts on Windows and GNU/Linux are ugly compared to the fonts on Macintosh.
I am thinking of installing OSX 10.4 on mine so I can run it in Classic mode. They are a ton of great games for OS 7.5 to 9.2.
The Macintosh version of Prince of Persia is the best one for instance. I don't like Laptops that have screens bigger that 14". 15.6" and larger display Laptops are not portable.
This new memebar model doesn't sit right with me.

No, but I do own the XPS 13, it's fucking amazing how small the bezels are and dat 22 hours battery life.
I think this is a good thread to ask.
I recently got a Late 2009 MacBook for real cheap, it's in excellent condition, even the battery still lasts 5 hours, did a few drains and recharges.
From my junkbox I added in a 120GB Kingston SSD and two 2x4GB DDR3 sticks. Work perfectly.
I haven't decided on what OS I should settle on, it is quite a old machine, should I go for 10.9 or stay with Sierra, 10.9 is probably going to have app support for quite a while? What are some good tips to speed up Sierra? What things to disable, etc? Sierra runs OK, but people say Mavericks is even faster?
Any other tips? I love the size and overall comfiness of it, ideal for use in bed and taking on trips.
