What are the benefits of owning a mac?

Easy access to sex.
Homo-sex that is.


Also native platform to use macOS.

Not much.

You're paying for premium accessories.

You don't get much power, OS is somewhat lacking on software support. You get a really nice screen and no cables fucking around.

Owning objectively the best computers.

They used to be the best computer for "creatives" in the late 80s/early 90s. In the early 00s the fags bought them because of the shiny colors. Now they are just a fashion accessory that supposedly makes you look wealthy despite it just being yet another intel box.

>>61407501
>Unparalleled support.
That's just blatantly false. I used to work OSX support and 85% of the calls were "its out of warranty, you'll have to pay $20 to continue this call" followed by "This is a hardware failure, you'll have to bring it in to the Genius Bar and they can tell you the (overinflated) repair cost"

>>61407252
>Also native platform to use macOS.
Any x86 processor can "natively" run macOS though...

Best personal use OS (if you're not autistic or otherwise mentally ill) tailored for the hardware. Apple hardware is never powerful nor does it attempt to be outside of iOS CPU improvements. Its all about the OS, that's all personal computers are ever about. What's the point in having a Windows machine that's powerful if its not playing games when macOS is better for productivity due to the infinitely more stable OS?

Is this what Linux users really think? In reality, you're all either normies or degenerate autists. This is what you honestly think? You delusional teenager. The whole Linux community is a bunch of clueless tinkerers and retarded pajeets. How cute though, not only technical, PROFESSIONAL too!

Macs were trash in the 90s. No matter what you think about them now, they were far, far worse back in the day. Before Apple users were derided for being homosexual normies, they were considered cultists.

>>61407816

Gay homosexuals of all races use iOS and OS X.

Worst hardware, best OS.

>>61407816

Pajeets also love Linux, because its free and open, allowing them to waltz into forums and projects to shit it up and it also runs on their 2003 prebuilt shitboxes very well.

So around half the world is double-gay? Wouldn't a homosexual homosexual be a straight person? Fuck off teenage brainlet, don't project your gay shit in computer stuff. Fap to your trap pegging porn without leaking your degenerate shit in a tech discussion area.

I haven't had to use a Mac since 2010 but back when the Adobe Create Suite 2 came out CS2 ran like absolute garbage on Windows 7/Vista. I'm not sure if that is still the case for whatever is Adobe's newest suite but that would be the only time where I would rather have a Mac. Are there any actual benefits to owning one? It's personal preference but I would say no.

Objectively, there are exactly two possible benefits to using a Mac. Primarily, it's the supported platform for OSX. Whether using OSX is a benefit may be ascribed to personal preference. Choosing between it and Windows seems like a toss-up.
Secondarily, most Macs are fairly well-built. They are better built than the average Windows craptop. For the same price as a Mac you can certainly get a better-built standard PC, however, but perhaps only if you know what to look for.

Other than that, it's only if you explicitly like the aesthetics or Tim Cook's cock.

If your employer buys it for you or you have a gig that requires it and also allows you to afford it. That is the benefit. Being on an apple gravey train of some sort. Otherwize it is only expensive.

mac ownership protects you from getting too much computing power from your money and from having too many confusing configuration options. it also shields you from an overwhelming selection of software to choose from. mainly it frees you from the burden of having to have a pesky pair of testicles dangling between your legs.

Let me spoonfeed you, retard.

>"If you have a hardware issue during that time, AppleCare for Enterprise will help get you back up and running quickly. IBM’s Global Technology Services, a worldwide Apple Authorised Service Provider, will provide onsite service within the next business day. "

Why would complain about a computer you'll never use anyway, OP? You seem mad.

>>61411333
How does he seem mad by asking the benefits of using something?

The only benefits I can think of is having to do tasks akin to autobody repair work to change a hard drive. Never having to worry about upgrading ram, as it's soldered in place, same with the video 'card', uhh...I dunno, macs are cool if you've got $2400 to throw at a new computer every couple of years.

Apple support is fucking bullshit and you know it
I work at a Uni and we have the educational tier of enterprise apple support. Let me tell you it's fucking bullshit. Sure we paid extra for 4 years of service and the highest shit they offer here but it doesn't do fuck all when you've got 20 systems per lab fail a year. When shit fails it isn't as simple as calling them and getting someone to service the hardware, they make you bring it into an apple store like consumer scum. Even worse, they only let you bring 4 units in at a time.

Nothing like having to get 15 screens repaired because the backlights shat out on imacs, having to drive to the next city over multiple times to get it fixed, having to wait like a plebeian and even worse, having them treat you like a fucking retard and that they're doing you some huge favor for fixing their faulty overheating shit. I have to agree with that anon, dell is fucking great for their service. We get next day repair or parts if it's something simple, never any bullshit involved. Not to mention even if it's shit like water damage that isn't covered, dell will bend over for you if you pressure them enough.

>>61411837
because apple learned in the 00s that enterprise doesn't mean shit to them.

apple is a consumer company. Even for google, if a macbook dies they have to go through retail support channels to get it replaced. Hence they keep heaps of macs on hand at any given time.

>>61407241
You get to let people around you know that you are a fag who is duped by commercials with other fags in them.

With a few exceptions the replies ITT have been shit. I don't own a Mac, but I used to in the 2000s. The actual benefits of owning a Mac are:
1. Being able to develop apps for Apple devices.
2. Running a Unix with Photoshop, MS Office, etc. plus a few exclusive desktop applications.
3. Since "Retina", a HiDPI screen and software that work well together.
