But Apple doesn't ship with hard drives anymore. Only Windows & Linux PCs do now.
>>59924654
>laptop hard drive failure
Linux doesn't have this problem.
>>59924757
How? It's a hardware issue. I don't think any OS can survive that.
>>59924654

>>59924752
What? They ship with SSD's at least right? You gotta have SOME storage on your local machine.
>>59924890
Linux is magical like that. It can run on broken hardware.
>>59925522
broken os for broken hardware
People who keep proper backups don't have this problem.
>>59925506
The storage is actually soldered into the motherboard.
>>59924757
Yeah it just corrupts the filesystem before hardware failure can even come into play :^)
>>59925604
So what do you do if motherboard dies?
>>59924654
back up to Dropbox and Google Drive with cryptomator are awesome
>>59925632
You get it replaced by Apple. You're buying a product from a company that actually has a legitimate support branch and not some shit you threw together yourself made from parts from brands with shit warranties and support.

Sorry, I don't know how to communicate in memes and pop culture references. Can you please articulate your thoughts in a manner that someone not dedicated to 24/7 shitposting can understand?
>>59925901
So either your data is lost forever, or you have to trust Botnet Incorporated to recover it for you?
>>59925973
You sound like a lame ass saturday cartoon villain.
But it's ok if you want to be mad about it.
>>59926002
Interesting. I really can't even remember what those villains are like but since you're probably a teenager our experiences differ anyway.
>>59925632
>>59925994
>he doesn't have backups
Are you that retarded? Seriously, you just hope you can recover your data when your storage dies? That's your plan? That's not even an anti-Apple viewpoint you have. That's just plain stupid regardless of what OS you use.

Ok, keep on being mad then.
>>59926048
Regardless of whether you keep backups or not, having a non-removable HDD is stupid. Even if you do have a contingency plan, there's literally no benefit to having the HDD integrated into the motherboard.
>>59926099
>there's literally no benefit to having the HDD integrated into the motherboard.
Speed?
>>59926065
>phone poster
Also, I don't remember anything on that shitty show where someone took a shit in front of Sonic and I'm not seeing the Robotnik correlation. I guess using your words like an adult is too difficult for some people.
>>59926099
It's not a HDD. You also haven't explained why it's stupid but rather than it just has no benefit.
>>59926121
Negligible compared to the actual speed of the drive.
>>59926121
We have PCI-Express-based M.2 drives for that. And there's only so much speed you can realistically make use of on a consumer-oriented computer.
>>59926121
>Speed?
Probably not. It's all likely to be going via the pcie bus anyway.

Well there is a benefit to having a removable HDD - if the motherboard dies or the boot sector gets corrupted you can read the HDD by hooking up to another computer. Removing a benefit, without producing another benefit in exchange, IS stupid, by definition.
>>59926154
What's wrong with that? It allows for a higher form of portability for everyone.
>>59926135
>defends apple
>disregards phoneposters
Look, it's ok to be mad, but your opinion automatically cancelled itself with your post. Just walk away.
>>59926173
If you care so much about ``le portability", just use a tablet.

>trusting the cloud
>>59926164
Once again it's not a HDD. Jesus how are you this stupid? You're so stupid you don't even know the definition of stupid as demonstrated by your last sentence. Removing a benefit just makes it neutral anyway. You don't consider at all what was gained (speed, battery life, form factor is kept smaller, etc.)
>>59927482
>speed
It's a regular NVMe SSD, just soldered to the board
>battery life
See above
>form factor is kept smaller
There are smaller, thinner and lighter laptops with m.2 NVMe SSDs, which are removable.

Those are just regular netbook-sized RAM sticks that are being sold as Microsoft Surface Pro-specific RAM
Apple has actual Apple-RAM
>>59926173
>higher form of portability
yes it's so easy to throw it in your bag and take it to the Apple store when it breaks you fucking idiot
>>59927917
>apple-ram
no you fucking fool, they are regular SODIMM modules except the sticker has an Apple logo on it. They will work in anything, and anything will work in a Mac.

Jesus fuck this board is so clueless. Why does nobody here know anything about even consumer tech? Some of you have knowledge from 2010.
>>59927917

Can you read? Those are laptop SSDs, idiot.
>>59924890
>>59925522
There's actually some truth to this. When Windows shits the bed over bad sectors and won't boot, reinstall, or do anything... I can at least fire up a Linux LiveCD and use the dd utility. Also my routine for failed disks is to run one pass of /dev/urandom and one pass of /dev/zero before taking the hammer to it.

Are you not aware laptops have hard drives or something? Do you think laptops are magic?
>>59929807
We are also aware of things called "Solid State Drives."
