>>59012639
This.

Windows has surpassed OSX a long time ago.

>>59012639

>>59012637

No, Windows is going backwards these days. It peaked at Windows 7.

>>59012656
>That has changed
Yeah, Windows has gotten fucking worse while MacOS has gotten better than it ever has been.

>>59012669

Can OSX turn off mouse acceleration? Oh that's a no too...

>>59012688

I do it ~5-10 times a day and it has never lagged even if I leave it open for days

That's a yes actually. My Windows PC doesn't have any issues with pdfs.

>>59012670
>MacOS has gotten better than it ever has been.
Didn't it stagnate years ago? I heard they still only support OpenGL 4.1 and recently dropped support for the battery timer after they've been losing to Windows 10 laptops.

Go play some video games or jerk off, little boy(s). That's the only thing you are, or will ever be, good at.

You're opinions are just as worthless as any effort to try to educate you. Seriously, maybe just kill yourself and stop wasting oxygen.

Ok, the base model is $2400 and comes with a Radeon Pro 450, quad core Skylake i7, 16GB of RAM and 256GB NVIe SSD, show me a $1100 laptop that outperforms it.

>>59012715
I couldn't tell you. I made the switch from Windows to Mac during El Capitan, which greatly improved almost everything for most people from what I've heard. Sierra has done nothing but build upon that. It's smooth, responsive, never lags or freezes, I couldn't ask for more.

>>59012637
>>gets outperformed by laptops that cost half the price

>Can OSX turn off mouse acceleration? Oh that's a no too...
Not only CAN you do this, but why the fuck would you want to? The real answer here is that you should stop sperging the fuck out.

Don't pay attention to retards. Architecturally, that is not even possible. The Windows model is built on the basis of third party drivers and support. There is zero quality control for this.

>>59012853

You're officially an idiot. Lots of third party programs are free.

Agreed except for the Surface Book

>>59012853
Even if there is a program you are supposed to pay for, piracy is a thing.

>>59012926

>>59012968
Oh so you're the Spectre shill who makes threads every hour? Putting the Spectre aside maybe the surface book has lesser specs, but it's still on par with the MBP which makes it a competitor.

Plus everything HP makes is literal trash with a worse build quality than modern Lenovo craptops, so that's one thing the SB and the MBP has over it.

>>59012993
That's not as easy because laptop cpu performance has been stagnant for years

Perfect example: a few years back, Macbooks had a problem where a sensor responsible for collecting the system temperatures would fail, causing the system to believe it's overheating like shit and artificially underclocking the CPU.

Lol what? You're kidding right? So now anyone who has ever noticed a trend in their life has a mental illness?

it did not fucking get better. Lion was horrible and Yosemite was really horrible and Sierra is the buggiest piece of shit ever created.

Maybe it has to do with threads on /g/ up for hours? I guess it's different on reddit and /b/, but it takes a lot longer time period for threads to disappear on this board. If you take a look right now there's still threads from Friday up.

So when there's 5 threads shilling the spectre in the catalog every time I'm on /g/, it gets noticeable real fucking quick.

How you equate any of this with having a mental illness and being here 24/7 goes beyond me.

Not the one you asked but let me explain it. You are on 4chan, where people use stupid arguments to "win". To counter these before they appear, you make up some greentext.
We all know, that ">" was and is used in things like email to reference what someone said, so to say to make citation. On here, the boardculture decided that these little arrows also can be used for "greentext" (because the > makes the text green)
Greentext is a made-up story telling funny things or even to imply things.

Now now, if someone asks the same question again in the future, someone may post my little text here. This is called copy-pasta.

idk, macs still have the advantage in everyday usability. going to a windows computer after using my macbook air for browsing, word processing etc is pretty jarring, and even if I boot into windows on my macbook air the mouse acceleration just disrupts the otherwise superb trackpad and my adjustments don't seem to do it much good.
Plus on mac i can interface pretty easily with linux servers which is a feature i know they're trying to shoehorn into windows but it's pretty nice to have a *nix CLI by default.

No no no, that can't be right, it's impossible for the macbook to not have a USB-C port because that's literally how it charges. And again, thunderbolt uses the usb port now.

Also, he's still an idiot. Why didn't he go for a low end macbook pro in that case? He uses external displays and a mouse all the time right? You get more ports and lose almost no mobility. I mean for christ's sake Apple has basically dedicated their existence to making things thinner, a 13" macbook pro in 2017 is already mobile enough as is

Reasons people not on /g/ buy Macs:
- No bloatware. It doesn't make sense to normal people to have to wipe the hard drive and reinstall the entire OS from scratch to get rid of the out-of-the-box registration pop-ups and bloat.
- Time Machine. It's free and there's no integrated Windows equivalent for recovery and migration.
- No forced updates/restarts. The average computer user isn't going to edit group policies or install LTSB just to make his new computer usable.
- The included software is actually somewhat decent. Pages/Numbers/Keynote does't compare with MS Office, but it comes close. GarageBand has no Windows counterpart, and MS completely got rid of Windows Movie Maker while Apple still offers iMovie for free with new Macs.
- Using Apple's stuff over others (Final Cut, Logic Pro, Motion, etc.) is a matter of preference, but users that want those apps can't get them on Windows.

tl;dr normies don't want to reinstall their OS and pirate software to get the same functionality of an Apple computer.

I didn't mention hardware because it's horribly overpriced. There's no excuse for that.

Macs are for stupid who can't use Gentoo.

I think we can all agree that both the new rMBP and the Razer Blade cater to different markets with different needs.

Personally, the Blade does everything I could possibly want. But I can understand why people buy Macs, even though other products out-compete on both price and performance.

>>59015519
I'm not a professional though. The headset is fucking awful, which is why I use a pair of DT 990 PROs and a Blue Yeti

I agree about the logo, which is why I got some 3m wrap and covered it up.

The Razer mouse that came with it is nothing really special, but the sensor is on point.

>>59015335
For graphic design it would be horrible, but apple trackpads are pretty good for everything else. With a piece of cheap software you can do a lot of things on it through gestures. I used that for a while and had no issues with multitasking. Problem is that you don't get a precise pointer.

Flamewar thread

unzip Extractor has been baked in since XP. Third party archivers/dearchivers have been available from CLI days. Since 1985 Windows has had third party apps to do it since there was BETA vs VHS vs Whatever type going on with compression software ( anyone remember .ARJ?). One reason Apple baked in zip extractions was they were uncertain developers would 1) write for Mac OS and 2) Follow their style guide. I know cuz I talked with these guys. That damn interface document was huge, nowadays it's considered the norm.

Remember in 1985 you had Windows 1 and on Apple side you had Apple IIc.

At the time I was live on big iron and I had two thin clients/terminals (WYSE and a generic Linux client/terminal box), x86 and a Apple II at home. I rarely had any use for the Apple. The Macintosh was out but really did not catch on till it got postscript capability. Then suddenly everyone who needed good printing grabbed one. I know I grabbed one in 86. I remember my cousin the artist using it so it's drool proof moniker was earned.

All these flames about "best computer" misses the point. It's usability and flexibility. Not fastest, or most stylish all though those are factors. Does it do the job you want it too? Will it need to be replaced or can it do more kinds of job? What is it total cost of ownership? Will it play that cool game? Run that app?

My decision:
If I can buy my wife and my kids a computer each as well for the cost of one Apple PC guess who gets my money. It does not matter if it's a super comfortable race-car if I can't drive when I want to. It does not matter about ease of use if I can't run the software I need to run on it because no one wants to develop for it. If something goes bad in it how hard to repair or upgrade? I used to repair Apple products. I still do not want to fight my devices to repair them.

A Caveat:
Now that we are seeing the limits of Moore's law we may see the computing landscape change.
