Dam you scare me yo, being a computer tech is something I've always wanted as a career.

I used to work in the dining area of mcdonalds, dealing with complaints and just generally making sure that everyone's alright. and one day we had a customer walk in, walk straight up to the counter, holler over a manager and tell him that I was rude to her and threw away her meal.
this wasn't during a busy period or anything, it was fucking dead so everyone working saw me never even go near her in the ten seconds between her entering and complaining

it's like they just expect to get whatever they want if they say the staff are shit

OP here I do not mind Mac users in the slightest. In fact I wanted to get pic related being so pretty and nice looking - despite lack of ports it would be great for web dev purposes on the go.

I have a big ass machine as my main rig and several virtual machines on it for fun. I like macs. They serve a different purpose to some users for windows so I don't mind macs.

I just didn't like getting yelled at even though I was right the entire time trying to help out a client as friendly as I can be.

As a tech there are things to consider:
>No seagate hdd in a mac
>hardware does not go bad easy unless you seriously abuse your system

Legit I can't tell you how many computers come in and its a shitty thin laptop and they have all these hardware issues. Meanwhile a mac tends to run fine with no issues on half the specs. With Microsoft products they whore the hell out of the OS by having all this marketing material.

I am not saying mac doesn't do this but its hell of a lot less pronounced.

>Licensing
Pre windows 10 UEFI did not have firmware chips that stored your license key. License keys were saved onto people's HDD. So when their shitty seagate failed they lost their license keys to Microsoft Office and their Windows license. So to point out, I know how to pirate. I can't pirate in a professional setting. You have to buy it. So if you lose your HDD or it breaks, you're fucked. You have to buy new windows (unless you have a sticker, which for cheaper windows computers, that is not the case)

I can continue... but this post is getting a little long already.

I get this but my boss (who is a she) said it was covered under warranty. Meaning no money. Just work for me to deal with. And also she's not the main person who runs the company, there is the owner. But she primarily handles management and accounting and is in no way a tech. I felt her diagnosis was lackluster due to not understanding what was going on.

My goal was to help her get her open windows over onto bookmarks and bill for that. That never happened however.

I mean I am not being insane by stating the fact. I have seen 1700 dollar windows ultrabooks packed with an i7, 16 gigs of ram and a 2k display and they just suddenly stop working for no reason. Needless to say I can cherry pick any windows machine to make mac look better. Mac has issues too. Believe me.

With a mac:
>Mac doesn't give you control over system files. You cannot freely modify or mess with system files without causing some heavy corruption in the system itself.

>Dumbass cloud shit that sierra is pushing

>Too expensive for a lackluster product and mediocre performance

>Ctrl + click to right click

I can do more but you get the idea. They both have their goods and bads.
>>
>>58578255
Right I get what you're saying but the products I mentioned don't use seagate hard drives. In fact all use SSDs.

My question was not macs vs $200 turds asus and acer shit out but vs high quality shit like the XPS, surface pro/book stuff.

Is a skylake macbook "pro" without VP9 decoding really better than a kabbylake XPS with VP9 decoding that costs less? Do you consider the macbook the superior choice simply because it was made by apple despite them having similar failure rate of hardware as most high end windows stuff?

As for the OS, windows 10 blows but you know how to configure it to now blow, right? ie anti-telemetry programs, disabling advertising, ect
>>

Honestly I didn't throw a hissy fit. I tried to remedy the situation and the customer didn't take it well when I wanted to help the customer by closing out of a few windows.

Honestly its an aesthetic choice. Both computers are nice though. I enjoy how clean the mac air looks even though it only has one port. The minimalist look and very nice screen only bring the selling point home. Plus those units don't feel flimsy at all whereas an ultrabook would. See I have a performance system and it's a windows with virtual machines to run on... so I don't have any issues with performance. It's just an aesthetic choice at that point and as a web developer you don't need a super powered rig. Just something light.

That hasn't been the case in years and years... Now you just push the trackpad with two fingers and on the old model ones you could also right click by having two fingers on the trackpad and clicking the button.

iTunes is great if you buy everything off of the apple store. But a lot of the time it's a gateway that ends up being a hinderance more than helpful.

>photo storage
Did you know your make stores 2 copies of every picture on your photo library? Yes it does this and if you have a mac air and you got a 120gb ssd in there and you have 40gb of pictures, guess what - it's 80gb of pictures and you cant simply remove the backup either.

Games != Serious work

Seriously thou, the new macbook is not a supposed to be general purpose machine, it's supposed to be a secondary machine you carry with you on the go and at home use that one port to connect it to a dock or a display containing a built-in equivalent. If you need more ports on the go, don't buy one.

God people turn into such autists when talking about Apple products. It never really crosses their mind that Apple's products are not intended for everyone and they make different products for people with different needs and even then they purposefully avoid stretching themselves too thin by trying to have something for everyone.

Maybe it's just a case of PEBKAC because for me it's worked completely without issues. I guess this is the thing with Apple products, for most people they work seemlessly, but for some they just don't.

>iTunes is great if you buy everything off of the apple store. But a lot of the time it's a gateway that ends up being a hinderance more than helpful.
iTunes really doesn't integrate with anything other than iProducts so you need to use other software to move music and videos over to other devices. Music you buy off iTunes does come in standard formats and are stored in your Music folder and can from there be used by the software for non-Apple music players and the like.

>Did you know your make stores 2 copies of every picture on your photo library? Yes it does this and if you have a mac air and you got a 120gb ssd in there and you have 40gb of pictures, guess what - it's 80gb of pictures and you cant simply remove the backup either.
That sounds like a bug, but I don't use iPhoto to begin with and just sort them as files the old fashion way. iPhoto has as far as I'm aware never been all that great and if you need something more involved than sorting things the old fashion way, there's always Lightroom and Apeture.

If it's better or worse than a surface book or an xps really is a matter of taste and if you can't get over the fact that not everyone shares your taste then you're an idiot. The random "mongoloid" insult is also a pretty clear sign you're a complete sperglord.

So every time I go into disk inventory x there are 2 folders. Some sort of weird backup folder and then the folder for photos that you see.

Normally this wouldn't be a problem but it is if you have a small ssd.

Because then you can browse the internet and charge your laptop at the same time.

>>58579028
I mean I can tell you for general usage computing both choices are not bad choices. Personally I probably would get the air only because it is more solid and aesthetically pleasing. But the reality is both the XPS ultrabooks are also pretty lackluster in their performance due to having to make them so thin. Sure the performance is better but you have internal moving components, parts that go bad easily. Why go for power when obviously if you wanted power you wouldn't use a laptop at all.

I mean to note - just look how sexy it is too compared to any windows ultrabook brand:

Sorry about your soggy knee! However, misogyny is very real, as indicated by your behavior towards women in your life unfortunately.

Yeah I know.

I know one gynecologist who is also a lawyer. He tells some absurd horror stories of the justice system being abused to extort money out of medics. They somehow make settling economically viable

Fucker's immune to that shit though since he handles the proceedings himself. So in his case he's the one fucking patients in the ass. The stories he tells are no different than this thread

Cool, might start freelancing computer tech work someday too.

Used to work as a cucksquad tech for about a year and then transitioned to construction because pay was shit. Now I kinda feel like getting back in the tech game might be best for me. Plan to save for at least 6 months for food/rent first in case shit doesn't work out though.

best thing to do would be doing jobs for people you know on the side and then once you have the ball rolling, see what money your making and then make your move. While doing side jobs look at getting certified as well, best option.

protip: there are actually license keys in older laptop's bioses, this is what is spofed by dazloader. SLIC is what it's called iirc. I think you can activate that shit in a legally grey area kinda way. I actually did it by copying some license keys from my old official install and running some obscure windows scripts (nothing downloaded). These keys are just unique by manufacturer obviously because they can't have unique images on each hdd. So those license keys per manufacturer that I manually extracted can easily found online if you want.

I'm surprised you still don't understand that its not a gaming machine and Apple is also a software company as much as it is a hardware company and they're selling you a complete package, which nobody else is doing.

They have zero real competition but the competition are getting fucking brave. I'm seeing Windows laptops go for over £1,000 with hardware performance which can be squeezed out of a £300 custom build. They don't even make their own OS, they bundle fucking Windows 10 with it and a couple drivers and bloatware.

So OP had a solution, explained it and in return got yelled at because the client didnt liked it.

If this isn't true then why has apple become more and more irrelevant over the years? All those flashy ads only work so long before people realize what they sell if fucking garbage.

It's not like only rich people own apple products either, any mcdonalds worker can get a lease/loan/credit/ect to pay for a shitty fagbook yet they don't. Instead they get said lease/loan/credit/ect and buy whatever flavor of shit microshaft or whatever companies make those shitty gaymen laptops that costs just as much if not more than a shitty fagbook.

Anyway I'm not saying things are any better, people are basically still buying shit they don't fucking need with money they don't fucking have. Apple going bankrupt or not won't change that ever and that makes me sad desu.
