I have a job and I could go buy one of those today. I don't want one, they are too poorly made. I like the idea of using metal as the body but Apple ruined that concept. A really good laptop would be like this:
>good screen with high resolution, brightness and color
>metal body, thiccc one and not a flimsy bending disk too thin for its chosen metal's qualities
>long life battery which can be changed in a second so you can carry as many as you want
>actually serviceable like a Thinkpad instead of being a disposable toy, so you can choose the best manufacturer for RAM and SSDs for instance, or if you want to change the WiFi chip for something more compatible with Linux
>or if they start making cheap 2 TB laptop SSDs later you can just upgrade it, to something that wasn't there when you bought your PC originally but it wasn't soldered so it's possible

It literally is the best. /g/ is just contrarian and bitter, so they hate anything that's popular with the normies. If this were just a little obscure company, /g/ would be all over this shit.

>>60453438
It is still only like 3% of the desktop market.

Honestly I'm pretty sure this is where all the hate comes from. People just hate what they never tried to justify their own choices.

Oh boy, it's another one of those threads. What happened man? Felt like your investment started looking a little bit bad and you yet again post a crappy thread about Apple technology on/g/?

Enjoy spending a fuckton for what you could get at 1/3 of the price.

This thing looks really weird in person and the keyboard is really bad.
>>

You get used to it
>>
>>60456074
Why why should someone have to get used to it if they can just get a different ultra book with a better keyboard? Unfortunately, they forced the Apple user base to use this form over function device. Even the Surface Pro keyboard is better.

Pretty much this. Windows users are the most hostile people on the planet when you tell them you use macOS or Linux. They take it as a personal attack against them. They hate anything that's not what they're familiar with and they genuinely feel threatened when confronted with something unfamiliar. It's ridiculous, they try to absorb you into the borg or something.

I think that's also why macfags and linuxfags are so annoying when they first switch from Windows. It's because they're so excited and they never knew that there was something so different and so much more pleasant to use. That's what being a winsheep does to you. It gives you stockholm syndrome so you're willing to defend it to the death besides having no experience with anything else and no rational explanation as to why your choice is the best. To the point that they feel offended when someone simply chooses to use another operating system.

The SP4 keyboard is easily one of the best "laptop" keyboards out there, not Thinkpad good, but definitely up there.

I have a feeling that all the cunts calling themselves rich are actually just autistic NEETs that have their parents buy macbooks for themselves. You have to be fucking autistic to buy a macbook. To have an underpowered piece of trash laptop that you cannot fix yourself without £1000 worth of apple proprietary equipment.No sane person would use a macbook for anything other than a beer mat. Get a more powerful laptop with a better battery life and stop sucking apple's cock.

Using one right now. It's a pretty good machine. Battery life could be way better, and the OS isn't as stable as it once was. The TouchBar is pretty nice, but so far it hasn't really been utilized well. The lack of ports doesn't really bother me.

Why get the best in planet while you can get best in the universe?

I had the 13in MBP with touchbar for a few months, but I hardly used it. I then gave it to my little brother who used it way more often, as I received the 15in MBP with touchbar a couple of weeks ago. Both were gifted to me by different aunts for being the first in my immediate family to go to university.

It's my first macbook, and I've got to say that I kinda hate it. I'm extremely grateful and won't try to return/sell/whatever as that's against my personal code. But goddamn do I hate it, especially knowing that my 15in is worth ~4000 USD.

I hate Apple products in general (mainly for the price), but Jesus is this particularly bad. The butterfly keyboard is iffy to me. Perhaps I need to get used to it, but the most obvious way it could have been better was to have some actual travel distance. Also, the 13in had 2 cases of a key becoming mushy/losing its tactileness, the second case still persisting until now. That's unacceptable for a ~$2000 machine. And since both were with touchbar, there were no physical escape keys. Also awful.

Then there's the ports. There are only 4 USB-C ports and no adapters included. If you had an iPhone 7, you could not even connect it to this machine. And I just recently learned that older macbook pros had things called magsafe chargers, magnetic chargers that could keep your dog from knocking over your $2000+ device when it trips over the wire. Why the FUCK would you remove that?

Honestly, there are a lot of things I can compliment it on, such as the display and weight (though I personally wouldn't sacrifice ports for thinness/weight). But Christ is it grossly overpriced. I get some kind of emotional distress over owning such an expensive thing and the fact that some salesmen snakeoiled my naive, tech-illiterate relatives into buying them. It retails for about the same amount as my car and PC combined. I AM too poor to own this thing. But if I had the money to buy it, I most definitely would not.

2015 model doesn't, looks so much better.

They only had to bring it back because a fucking bar full of emoji on the keyboard might make someone think it was a kids computer not a "pro" computer
