Why do you hate Apple again? >cheaper than equally specced

>>59705360
I don't hate Apple, their products just don't interest me anymore. Their laptops don't have docks, the AIOs are 16:9, and the trashcan is a trashcan. I guess the Mac Mini is the only modern Apple computer I'd even consider.

>>59705441

>>59705409
Kinda this. I've got a 13" MBA that is the best damn laptop I have ever used, but their new shit is completely unappealing.

The new keyboards suck or are missing the top row, the hardware is meh even by apple standards, and throttles like crazy.

Don't like apple because they charge you a premium for the same hardware you'd get elsewhere. All stuffed inside of an appealing package that when actually placed in a heavy work environment, it falls on its face. See the new MB pro. Ever since Haswell was started being out inside their laptops, they throttle.

>Inb4 poorfag

Why spend $2k on a specced out MacBook pro when I could spend the same, or even less for pic related? Mobile Xeon CPU, 4-8GB Quadro GPU. Actually user serviceable, dock offered, replacement batteries and extended life ones to be found all over the place, etc.

Unless you're talking the aesthetic of Apple and muh thin laptop. Then this conversation is moot. Other than the MB pro, there is absolutely nothing I'd consider from Apple. Their phones are garbage, their "workstation" is a non serviceable throttling trashcan, and their MB air is a glorified tablet with keyboard attached. One that they have the audacity to charge you $800 for and only give you a single USB C port.

>>59705574

>>59706016
>you mean toy OS. definitely not a proper UNIX
There is no "proper" UNIX, there are simply UNIX and non-UNIX operating systems. OS X falls under the prior category.

>>59706173
a proper UNIX would be an OS that's not only based on UNIX but that doesn't hide any of its inner workings from the user. Mac OS belongs to Apple even if it's installed on your computer. you won't be able to make major changes in the system without any serious reverse engineering. this completely defies the rule of transparency and the rule of diversity which have been coined by Eric Raymond.

>>59706259
What does OS X hide?

>>59705605
the best part about docks like that is since macs cant go into clamshell mode without having power plugged in, every time you insert or remove it from that thing it will go to sleep. and since it goes to sleep without any of the usb stuff connected actually inserting it into that bullshit is a complete joke

>>59706289
major parts of its source code. that means the OS will forever be controlled by apple. it does what apple wants it to do without granting the user any influence, merely the illusion of influence that can be taken away at any time if apple so desires.

It's just that his need for a dock has been surpassed by a single fucking cable.

>plug in one USB C cable, and,

>literally anything else I/O

They sell monitors nowadays that have a single USB-C cable that you plug into your MBP and it charges, provides ethernet, USB C/A ports, and an SD card reader all in the back/side of the monitor. How is this any different than his dock? Other than the fact it doesn't look 1-to-1?

No it hasn't. The whole reason I insist on a dock is because I can just set my laptop down and it's plugged into everything. The cable is an extra step I'd simply rather not take. If you're okay with it, that's fine and dandy. I like my dock too much to give it up.

>>59706664
If you use some common sense you won't ever get infected. Besides, the only reason why Mac viruses are rare is because no one who does serious work uses a Mac.

I can at least partially disable my spyware. Maybe even completely but I can't be sure of course. Mactoddlers can't and they will forever be spied on. Face it, you're using a proprietary OS and that means included spyware with 100% certainty. You can't defend it but you try anyways and I do understand your motives. After all you could have gotten actually capable hardware and a better OS for 30% of the price you paid for your glued together "computer" with the option to upgrade any hardware component at any time. But go ahead, pay $1800 for a housefire computer with a pathetic i5 quad core and AMD graphics. AMD god dammit what the fuck...

I don't hate apple, I just don't use them because I like computers.

>>59705360
>Why do you hate Apple again?
It's because /g/ lurkers are poor buttblasted cretins with shitty taste.

They're great. Unfortunately, the new models have mandatory touch emojibar for decent specs, as well as Linux not working at all.

where are you finding these apple products that are priced similarly to used thinkpads in terms of specs? i got an i5 t410 for like 115 bucks. show me something similar for that price please.

>>59714693
>i got an i5 t410 for like 115 bucks

yeah it has all the same specs as a macbook pro

do you know what the word "specs" means?

>>59714704
product specifications i assume, i didn't say macbook pro, i said apple products. show me an apple laptop with 500gb hdd, 4gb ram, an i5 520m or equivalent for under 130 bucks please. i'd like to buy it.

>>59714828

are you retarded?

No apple does not make anything with such low specs

OP said if you take a high quality apple product and spec out a thinkpad with the same hardware the prices will be similar

>>59714891
apple doesn't make anything with such low specs? 500gb hdd? 4gb ram? dude, there's fucking apple products sitting on ebay with lower specs than that going for 400 bucks a piece!

>>59705360
>doesn't come in black

>>59714911
http://m.ebay.com/itm/291950743823?_trksid=p2385738.m2548.l4275&_mwBanner=1 here's an example of what i mean. this thing costs 150 bucks. i paid less for a petter cpu, more ram, a larger hdd, a bigger screen, a better keyboard... why the fuck would i purchase something overpriced because it has the name apple on it? that's like buying pants of wal mart quality at double the price because they're sold by polo.

>apple doesn't make anything with such low specs? 500gb hdd? 4gb ram?

they don't make any laptop with just 4gb of ram, they don't make any laptop with a spinning shitty non SSD hard drive, they don't make a laptop with as low screen resolution as your computer has

you are not smart

>>59705409
16:9 is a good thing ya dingus

>>59715129
>they don't make
nowhere in OP is it mentioned that buying new is a requisite. even if it were, upon reading several cost comparisons, it seems apple often charges more for an inferior class product.

And Apple has patents for liquid metal.
Yes, they still haven't mastered a process to make the unibody parts as they want.
But when they do, chinkpads will be fucked.
Oh, and forgot something: The Macbook pro is the only laptop that can protect itself against electrical surge attacks.

>>59714002
Stop screaming, chink. We will not buy thinkpads.

>>59714054
>Not here in the north
In fact yes. They still ship crappy batteries with every thinkpad, a trackpad who tries to be the mac trackpad, but fails spectaculary (at leas we have the trackpoint) shitty screens (No, no all thinkpads are compliant with your adobe mamay, and the ones under 15 still can't reach over 250 dpi like macs can) but, hey, they charge exactly the same like a macbook, and they still can't retain their value well

Every single electronic device on the market has some degree of protection against surges. you got memed if you think that's an applel exclusive

Thinkpads by definition should have this protection. But not, they don't have and they still are overpriced like Macs.

>>59705640
>The Apple ones? They suck balls.
Not really.

>>59714659
I really couldn't tell the sarcasm in this post at first.

>>59715639
It's not sarcasm. Get an adapter until the world has moved to the fucking USB C plug.

>>59706388
You're confunding UNIX with open source.
They're related, but they aren't the same.
There's still lot of Unices that we haven't their source code, but they behave like one, like Irix.
And actually, the UNIX part of macOS is open sourced. The part that remains private corresponds to the macOS Framework part (Cocoa, Quartz and shit)

>>59709113
When there's a fucking macshit shill thread every fucking day, nobody really feels like putting any effort into blowing it the fuck out.

>stop using what I don't like ;_;

>>59705495
yeah, because for like 400€ i can have a ThinkPad that is perfect for office use, thanks to replaceable hardware, with the latest software while a 6 year old macbook is going to get desupported within the next months.

No just because it's shiny doesn't mean a better build. You sound like those dumb ass rich bitches who's daddies buy them everything.

>ultra hd IPS

ThinkPad has that and has had it for a while

here's why every apple user is a fucking retard:
>sees apple ads in TV about how user friendly macs are ("computers for the rest of us", aka for idiots)
>friends recommend apple products because they are apple uses themselves
>"minimalistic" design appeals to the retard, he can't predict that the materials used are designed to be so flimsy to break, also ignores how other products are more ergonomic to use since those aren't just slabs of aluminium
>compares $2000 applel product to the only other laptops he's ever used: $300 walmart trash and is amazed how ""premium"" apple is
>begins to use mac OS and since it's a bit more user friendly he believes it's the greatest thing ever
>now stuck in the apple ecosystem, has to buy a new model every 3 years because some of the hardware broke (planned obsolescence)
>likely a dumb poorfag so he has to take a loan just to buy the fucking computers
>even recommends apple to friends and tries to justify his position with unrealistic claims ("muh special functions only apple has", "I have a higher status in society if people see my computer", "it just werks", "muh special application NEEDS mac OS", "You're just oo poor to afford it and are jealous")

>worst of all, he doesn't even notice how much he has been cucked
