WHY

fake news

Because they didn't want to sell an actually usable laptop(MB) at $1000 so they raised it to $1200.

Please kill me it hurts to live

Should I go for it for $800?

If you want a useable general use laptop that will never crap out on you: yes.

What's wrong with it? TN looks better than my IPS lenovo.

This. Unless you have your own retarded definition of perfect, it's not even close.

I recently got mine for 700€ just to try to the mac meme myself and honestly it's pretty good.

I was afraid of the TN screen, but it's nothing like the shitty TN panels you see on thinkpads that goes all washed out the moment you turn it a few degrees, it can't compete with a good IPS panel but it's definitely better than a shitty IPS panel. Touchpad is GOAT, keyboard is decent, nowhere near thinkpad tier but definitely usable. macOS takes some getting used to and it does some things in its own retarded way, but it flies and everything is snappy.

>sell t530 because I use macbook air more
>almost a year later go into a typing test thread to flex
>can barely get 110 wpm on macbook air

I'm not a mactoddler but I'll say that two tests a year apart don't prove much. How much speed-typing were you doing in the interim?

>>60794064
that screen is literally so fucking ugly that I wouldn't give that crap to my enemies.

Just shell out a bit more and get the macbook. It has a slightly shittier camera but a better purchase all around

>>60794846
I do typing tests for a living, retard

>>60794269
That is exactly the matter with mactoddlers. They think their overpriced computer is perfect when better alternatives exists when in truth they just want to avoid the perception of being poor by showing everyone that they can waste money on a fashion accessory computer.

It's the best computer apple is currently making

>>60795056
I'd say that's the Mac Mini since it's actually comparable to PC competitors like NUCs.

>>60795359
nuc has upgradable ram, mac mini is a hermetically sealed unit

Either find it for cheaper or spend more for a decent screen.
