Anyway my opinion:
Microsoft wrapped literal chinkshit in a macbook design. This thing is a literal scam. I haven't compared but I bet the SSD is worse than the similar priced macbooks anyway.

So basically they are trying to fool people by pretending to have better value for money than a macbook, but actually they don't have that. They just shoved higher specs so they can point to it on paper while they skimped out everywhere else. Literally a scam to make you think it's better than a macbook. Just get a macbook.

Not sure how 'capitalist' the united states could be when the major industries:
Military, pharmaceuticals, agricultural, computing, automotive, finance are all HEAVILY subsidised by the government. Military is funded by the pentagon, that's hundreds of billions, pharma is funded by public research, agricultural- subsidies, automotive 'GM is too big to fail', and finance 'trillion dollars for the banks- Obama'.
How is this capitalism? This is a state run economy.

Yes, which is why there is no competition for government contracts any more. Let's see how well GM, or the miltiary competes.
Or how about IBM? where are their competitors?

All the competition for American business is overseas. This 'competing for government contracts' hasn't been true since all the companies that won the contracts bought out the companies that didn't.

Also the competition isn't "who is the best" it's "who donated the most to my political campaign"

Are you implying that unregulated capitalism leads to monopolies which obstruct free market and are bad for literally everyone except themselves?

Why is it always communism (a theoretical construct that no state has ever implemented, instead you're thinking of dictators like stalin or some banana dictators) against hardcore liberal capitalism? What about social democracy, having free markets with some regulation ensuring the health of the market and workers' rights?

Hey if communism is so awful, why does the US need to keep intervening in communist countries to stop them 'falling to communism'? If it's awful then just let it happen and it'll weaken them.
It's pretty fucking obvious that you'd only need to intervene if communism had a chance of strengthening a country, and that'd be horrible for say, a country that relies on cheap export of that country's resources, since the stronger a country is the more bargaining power it has over its own resources and labor.
Interesting how US liberated areas are all shitholes.

It was the Americans who attempted a coup d'état in Venezuela between 2002 and 2004, completely destabilizing the country. The American-gov't funded National Endowment for Democracy still sends money to Venezuelan terrorist opposition groups to this day to help destabilize the country.

And before you play the long refuted "w-we were just trying to save you from le gommunism bogeyman XDDDDD" card, reminder that America supported the communist regime of Plutarco Elías Calles in México. You guys don't give a fuck about ideology or have any morals, you just want to destabilize the entirety of Latin America in order to keep getting easy access to our natural resources.

This retarded "le Latin Ameriga is bad bcs of gommunism" meme must die. Besides Cuba (which is, to the right-wing's disarray, the most developed country in Latin America), no single Latin American country has EVER had a communist regime.

>marxism disregards basic economics

So you're incapable of understanding or grasping the concept of moderation and rational thinking... and also lack sense of morality or basic human compassion -- gotcha.

Your idea of a political/governmental utopia would be absolutely miserable.

I hate far left liberalfags and lazy scum leeching off the rest just as much as the next guy, but at least I understand that humanity, as a working/happy/prospering civilization, we need to have a bit of order in the form of government, rules, and a decent safety net for the low IQ niggers, the crazies, and all the poorly raised folks.

It's pretty fucking obvious that you'd only need to intervene if islamic terrorism had a chance of strengthening a country, and that'd be horrible for say, a country that relies on cheap export of that country's resources, since the stronger a country is the more bargaining power it has over its own resources and labor.
Interesting how US liberated areas are all shitholes.

Even in the "successful" communist regimes they had to look overseas to figure out the value of products and sort out their market, because they had nothing to go on by themselves. If the whole world was communist without a capitalist market to base things off, it would all collapse. Which it still did anyway.

Europeans were able to find America largely due to their geographic location. It's now known that the Vikings were the first Europeans in America and they got there by hopping from island to island in the North Atlantic ocean. It was extremely unlikely that any nation not on the Atlantic coast would ever reach America, and those nations in Africa already had plenty of frontiers to push other than the oceans. Europeans had to develop advanced sailing technology in order to continue extending trade networks. It just so happened that because of the advanced sailing technology, they hit the motherload as far as natural resources go, especially precious metals, which had already been mined and refined by locals in many cases.

It's easy to say that your white skin makes you better, but it doesn't. I'm white and I'm better than you, but not because I'm whiter than you. Remember that Genghis Khan commanded the largest empire in human history and was the most prolific male to ever live. Was that because he was Mongolian, or because the Mongolian steppes led to advanced cavalry technology that far surpassed anything else of the time?

This is completely irrelevant to the discussion.
Spain and Portugal didn't use this method of "island hopping" to discover and colonize the new world.

>those nations in Africa already had plenty of frontiers to push other than the oceans
Are you implying that this wasn't true for European nations as well?

>Europeans had to develop advanced sailing technology in order to continue extending trade networks. It just so happened that because of the advanced sailing technology, they hit the motherload as far as natural resources go, especially precious metals, which had already been mined and refined by locals in many cases.
So you're finally admitting that European countries were already far more advanced before finding entire new continents?

That and chinese foreign policy was pretty spastic, an example is that one emperor was all for trade and had giant ships with lime trees on them to prevent scurvy, and the next just burnt them all and went all isolationist. No consistent policy.

That's how historically ignorant rightists are.

Communist Korea came before South Korea or any other Korea existed for that matter. Korea was under Japanese (i. e. non-capitalist) occupation at the time.

The division of Korea was a direct result of American intervention, under the leadership of Syngman Rhee.

No one here's defending communism or the Soviet Union. The fallacy you're employing in that post is a "tu quoque" fallacy.

The fact of the matter is: saying that Russian communists aggressed a capitalist Korea (like >>60939876 did) is simple historical revisionism.

Korea was under Axis occupation (so it wasn't capitalist), and then an internal movement called Dongnipgun (Liberation Army), of which Kim Il-sung was one of the leaders, started fighting back against the Japanese. They received Soviet assistance due to their communist ideology (obviously). Then, American puppet Syngman Rhee started the aggressions between the North and the South. There was never any Soviet aggression - aggressions started from the capitalist side.

Also, claiming that North Korea is a military threat (like >>60939031 did) is non-sense. They're just trying to defend themselves. They have always been completely open to peace talks, and one American president was even able meet personally with Kim Il-sung and negotiate an understanding. But then, that president's immediate successor ruined it all by restarting aggressions - for purely ideological reasons!

Conclusion: the capitalist ideology is just as dangerous as the communist ideology.

Hello
>>
>>60940347

having reflowed chips on laptops to restore life to them for faggots like you, please kindly sit your consumer-ass down in the corner and be humble.

Basically any and all Macbooks are about as anti-repairculture as possible. They're giant proprietary lumps of "don't touch me" that aren't so much as "challenging" to repair, as much as they are "annoying, unnecessarily over-engineered, and complicated for the sake for complicated". In some high-end luxury cars, upgrading the audio system requires relocating the original head-unit to a hidden location behind the dash, or under the trunk, to maintain a working A/C, and creating and running new Fiber Optic lines to do this. Which means learning to splice fiber optic cables, and doing so in a clean enough environment so as to not mess up the connection afterwards. This is still more practical to do, than nearly any repair on a modern Macbook, despite having to learn a one-off skill with specialized equipment and a specialized environment to do it with/in.

Wow, it's like magic. I know why people want upgradeability but you buy shit but these ultra super thin ultrabooks only look so good because they're designed not to be fucked with.

You cares about fixabilty in an ultrabook? If you cared about that shit you wouldn't be buying an ultrabook.

are you over 18 and work in technology? I'm asking this because nearly every dev at my company uses a MBP. When you're a grown up and your company buys your computers for you, you're not going to get a fucking T420. Also, windows fucking sucks.

>I'm asking this because nearly every dev at my company uses a MBP.

My company uses literally nothing but Dell computers. The occasional Surface Pro or HP elite book will show up. I've worked on at least a thousand new dell machines.

If you were offered a free computer why wouldn't you just take the most expensive one? If I had to choose between a MBP and a Latitude I'd choose to MBP just for the extra resell value.

You're forgetting the part where when you order a 1000 computers Dell cuts you a huge discount. Computers are a fucking tool, if you're spending four times as much on an ultrabook with less functionality it means your business is run by retards.

venezuela's problem was lack of market diversification, political ideology is irrelevant. if 90% of your economy is in a single market then no ideology will save you
>>
>>60965350
I agree, but had Venezuela not been a welfare state where a sizable portion of the population is on social welfare of some sort, than the economic problems in Venezuela would still have been bad, but not to the extent that it's at now. It probably would've been a very bad recession if the welfare state in Venezuela had been done away with. Now it looks like there won't be Venezuela in 10 years time or at the very least a new regime is going to come into power.

It is. Instead of buying a Surface I have the better choice of buying a superior Thinkpad.

The nature of integration presents the issue where many laptops these days are essentially a SoC. There's nothing to upgrade or repair, you replace the (1/2 playing card sized) board and move on.

It's shit because their leaders can't into economics and actually diversifying their markets, in case the prices of oil go down. hell, even Russia and Saudi Arabia, which were also affected by the same drop in oil, managed to go into different market sectors unlike Venezuela.

Honestly I feel like this is the risk you take buying an ultra thin/light device. Get a regular laptop if this is a concern. Personally I wouldn't get this, but mostly because I personally think it completely goes against Microsoft's original philosophy and design for the surface brand.

What a tragedy. The fact that Microsoft soldered the SSD on Surface Pro is a bigger middle finger.
>>
>>60968673
Communism is irrelevant to the problem. Sometimes it's part of it, sometimes it isn't, but it's not consequential. What's consequential is that your shitty country has cheap labour and cheap exports to make profit easier to acquire for big corporations. If you don't like this, then they send in the guns.
