These are actually rumors, but a lot of people that has predicted the specs right a few times said this is the route that Apple is going.

Apple has used AMD gpus for about a decade now, why would they switch to nvidia all of a sudden?

LOOK AT ME

I PAID 1000 BUCKS FOR MY LAPTOP

AREN'T I GREAT? 1000 BUCKS!

I HAD TO SAVE A YEAR FOR THAT AMOUNT, BUT WHO CARES? FUCK POORFAGS!!!

$1,000 for a macbook? Maybe the cheapest one they have, try $2,000+ for what OP is talking about.
>>
>>58808460
The reasonable answer for an average /g/entooman would be a desktop with similar specs and a cheap chromebook running linux for note taking and document sharing.
>>58808487
Is that how much you make shilling for this shitheap?
>>58808489
They overheated like fuckall and if they used it 3 years ago why did they switch AMD? why would they switch back fucko?
>>
>really noice cpu
>shitty gpu
The 1050 is weaker than the 460, its the 1050ti thats slightly better than the 460

And even then the gpu is only really there to stream media at higher resolutions
Doing anything professional that benefits from a decent gpu is just laughable on a 1050

Basically youre paying 2000$ for a mismatch of random hardware thats decent, but really not that powerful, and for the package it comes in
And dont get me wrong, i love the physical feel of the macbooks, the hard edges and alluminium are almost erotic, they look fantastic, but the specs are just underwhelming for the price
Id sacrifice the good looks for a better gpu in a heartbeat
Not to mentiomn the mediocre i/o, dongletopia, thermal throttling and chiclet keyboard
I wouldnt mind a chiclet keyboard if the keys were closer together
>>
>>58808488
nice desktop anon, but what about the display, speakers, keyboard, mouse/trackpad, webcam and battery bank that lasts the whole system for up to 9 hours?
>>
>>58808525
>why would they switch back fucko?
Why wouldn't they? They've done it before.

/overheating/ general?

>>
>>58808528
Only need a display. Any 2016 $300 4k monitor is already better than any laptop display. As for speakers, those on laptops are just as weak as a phone, it's just like they don't even exist.
>>
>>58808526
>The 1050 is weaker than the 460, its the 1050ti thats slightly better than the 460
Anon, you're confused, the RX 460 (Desktop) ISN'T the same as the 460 Pro (Mobile), not even close tbqh. And to be fair, you can't compare the 10 series to Polaris on mobile, Nvidia is much faster on this category.
>>
>>58808528
he was a retard but why would you need a desktop to run off a battery bank? Do you not know what UPSs are?
>>58808537
fair point.
>>
>>58808549
>Any 2016 $300 4k monitor is already better than any laptop display
Does it get 500 nits of brightness?

>>58808554
You can get a desktop with these parts for less than what a mac costs tho
>>
>>58808561
Yes, also full Adobe sRGB and P3 gamut color spectrum, and higher refresh rate.

That's exactly what I'm saying though anon! You could not only get a matching desktop but also a shit chromebook and run linux on it for note-taking and fucking around.

That's not a very big might.

I'm still using a mid 2012 non retina 15". It's fine. Every new model makes me feel like this one is better.

objectively, I haven't had one of these but it looks to be good. Mac displays while accurate leave a lot to be desired since I personally enjoy vibrant colors

un-fucking-believable

>>58808691
For 2k you get an underpowered cpu and a 1050 with an apple logo on it. Or for 2k you can get a 7700k, a 1080 and spare money.

Go back to school kid, and come back once you have acquired better taste.

People are honestly brain dead in this thread, you can obviously build a desktop for like $700 that will kill this thing, but it's a desktop not a laptop.

Its not practical to bring a tower where every you go plus a monitor, keyboard and mouse.

>>58808409
They have no reason to dump AMD because its more profitable for them
