So I went to look at the new MacBook Pro today

I'm specifically interested in the 13" with touchbar

>pic related

I'm seriously thinking about switching back to nothing but Apple. I miss having my Mac work in harmony with my iPad and iPhone and everything being smooth and easy to use.

Give me some good arguments why I should or shouldn't switch back /g/.

It's not like NASA has extreme budget problems and Apple is giving them Macbooks for free advertisement or anything.

that is old as fuck, they ditched thinkpads ages ago.

Don't. At least not right now.

Two annoying problems that these models have involve battery power, and dead keys/touchpad.

Not poor enough to shill for Apple on the Internet, getting paid a few cents.

I'm actually using a MacBook right now but people that have your kind of brand loyalty need to be euthanized.
>>
>>59627096

If I get a new Macbook Pro, I'm going to get the one without the touchbar. I don't want to be forced to look at my keyboard constantly. I'm going to wait for the kaby lake refresh first though.

I say go for it OP. I used to be a NEET faggot and had a gamer station and that shit. Finally started working out and being social actually went outside and got a life too. The best choice I made though was selling my autism shit station and buying a MacBook and an iPhone. It's simple and it works perfectly for me. Now k spend more time having life instead of playing gaymes all day

>overpriced

Not really. When you find a computer with similar specs, build quality, and form factor to a Macbook, it ends up costing similar to a Macbook. If it's cheaper, well, that's what happens when you forego an actual retail presence where you can go and hold the manufacturer accountable if things fuck up, when you forego America-based tech support that actually speaks understandable English, and when you forego licensing programs that actually maintain quality standards for things like cables and accessories.

>underpowered

Macs do more with less. They're more efficient per Hz relative to Windows. I bet you're one of those idiots who thought MacBooks got worse because the clock speed went down.

>planned obsolescence

I repair Macs for a living, and I see working Macs from 2009 *literally daily*. I see iPhone 5/5S/5C's daily, too. 8-year-old laptops, and 4-5 year old phones. Where is this planned obsolescence you're talking about? You might be mistakenly thinking of Android, with its 18-month life cycles, poor update deployment, and generally questionable OEM support.
>>
>>59627096
lol bad move kid, I just sold all my apple gear and bought a new Samsung Phone and Laptop. Way better kit for the same coin.
>>
>>59627096
The new 13" Macbook Pro is pretty much perfect for me. I miss things from my Thinkpad, but I still have it around. This is just so much lighter and convenient most of the time. Plus Mac OS has retarded things but generally works beautifully.
>>
Are there any good Windows alternatives to Macbooks for photo and video editing? The shill xps 15 looks alright but man there has been a lot of qc issues and that shit killer wireless card.
>>
>>59627096
No interest in their computers. But I'm digging the increased speed on the new APFS.

>Where is this planned obsolescence you're talking about?

How about the fact that a Mac from as recent as 2008 can't run the latest version of MacOS even though it's hardware can run it, but Applel prevents you from installing it?

if you like apple products, use 'em. no reason not to if that's what suits your fancy. i like blackberry 10 smartphones, so i use them. i like my sansa clip zip, so use that. i like getting work done on linux, so i use it. i like being able to manage my blackberry 10 phone from the desktop, so i also dual boot with windows 7. use what you like, use what helps you get shit done. it's that easy.

>Implying that any computer is safe from hardware level malware
The NSA has been doing that to to Cisco network equipment for over a decade so it's hardly all that surprising that other hardware can be hacked in a similar fashion. IIRC even hacking team has developed tools for that, however only for regular windows boxes.
