1. Nobody needs 2560x1600 retina display for office tasks and programming and you can't game on a Mac

2. "Worse SSD" isn't an argument
3. Completely subjective
4. build quality wtf is that even
5. I own a MBP and have never used Apple support in 5 years, overrated as fuck you nigger.
6. Oh wow you can hear the fans

So I showed you a laptop at almost half the price and you are willing to pay double because:

1. Resolution is better despite the fact your eyes wouldn't even tell the difference
2. Hardrive specs you can't even explain
3. Track pad problems you can't explain
4. Vague 'build quality' comment
5. You want Apple geniuses

Shittier processor and still has marginally worse battery life. And while weighing more and being bigger.

Though it's much less relevant now, Apple's ace in the hole for the longest time was IPS panels.
The simple act of using a decent panel type and glossy panel coating in your laptops for many years, while cheap and expensive Windows PCs usually used bottom of the barrel TN shit, is more important than you might think. "It just looks better" is a huge part of "it's just better" for a normie

But apples don't have the best keyboards. Even the island shit from Lenovo is better.

They also don't have trackpoint mouse making it unusable.

No docking bay makes it kinda shit for work. Non user replaceable battery is shitty since that stuff does get worse over time.

No Ethernet makes it pretty shitty for all sorts of reasons.

Apples are great if you want to run osx and have apple care support. That's why I suggest them to my mom.

The phone support is legit as fuck. They just walk her through everything. She had to take it in only once.

Keyboards on MacBooks aren't considered to be even decent, not to say "the best".

Integrated trackpad software is indeed pretty good. Trackpad itself, however, isn't any better than touchpads on modern laptops.
>8GB RAM
As in "lower than average amount of slower than average RAM"
>outstanding battery life
It isn't outstanding. MacBooks don't come out on top even when tested at two things they are made for - doing nothing or browsing Facebook. Macs can't work under stress.
>NVMe SSDs
Plenty of modern laptops offer PCIe SSDs.
>the best build quality and support in the business
That's a lie and a lie.

Now add to that:
Worse processor, worse port selection, high overpay for storage increase, and the fact it comes with an expensive OS that can't do shit.


As for actual offers, you faggots are trying to play around the fact non-Apple manufacturers try to target not only sheeple who are willing to buy their production just because it has their name on it, and don't slap performance degrading "2560x1600 retina display" on all of their shit.

Lenovo had 4k resolution offers on their T460s (and still has in some countries - Japan, for example), where for the similar amount of money you get your 4k display with an extra inch over the one MacBook Pro has, PCIe SSD with twice the capacity, more and faster memory, better CPU, better keyboard, clitmouse, and better port selection.

Or, you don't pay for 4k resolution and just buy a much better laptop for the money. You can even have a gaming GPU in it.

>>59996337
I'd actually say the current MBP's keyboard is not only not the best, but it's probably the worst I've ever tried. It's like it's designed to be bad: loud as fuck and zero travel, there's no attenuation of finger impact. It's closer to a touchscreen than to an actual keyboard.
