Never buy shitty Apple adapters

Wew lad

1400 for a dualcore

Guess its true you guys really are cucks.

Why not a xps 13?

>>61575579
Bmw is a good car.
This is a bad, slow, small and used laptop more expensive than a better new one would cost.

Apple isn't like BMW, Apple is Vertu and Juicero.

Every library you install can be referenced by the OS without any further explanation from you. So you compiling code is easier.

I'd make the claim about it having package managers, but NuGet makes developing a shit ton easier with Visual Studio. It's about time Microsoft had something like that.

I paid that little more than that for TWO Dell XPS15-9550 last December: i7-6700hq, 16GB RAM, Nvidia 960m, 512GB SSD, 2160p display.

You are fucking retarded and Applel just shoved its dick down your throat.

>>61576120
when you buy apple you buy quality too
its not only the specs...

>>61575889
this.
You really don't need a fancy laptop whatsoever for your major.
Depending on where you are going to school the majority of your course is probably going to be terminology, best practices and scripting. Even on the programming side you dont need a fancy laptop, your not going to be rendering 3d graphics and converting GB's of video.

>>61575061
Why in the fuck would you do something """Pro""" on a laptop?

I bought a Macbook Air from Apple's website (refurbished) and it was $750 and I love it. Great for typing, portable, solid build, even plays Warcraft 3!

What do you need all this power for? Why did you buy cables, did it not come with them? That's some shitty ass shit if true.

>>61576193
>when you buy apple you buy quality too

Exactly. Its not like apple devices are known for spontaneously catching fire or anything.

yes, both apple and samsung have devices that catch fire, and they are both indicative of poor product development

you should never buy acer, they are the cheapest plastic bombers out there. hardware might look good on paper but those things dont live longer than 2-3 years.

with ideapads, you are paying for having ((lenovo)) but they are consumer trash

reorganize your priorities for a notebook and then anons might be able to help you

>>61577024
These are all out of my price range though anon. And the cheaper ones don't compare at all spec wise.

Fashion? Design? Barista arts?

What the actual fuck? Please explain to me why you paid 1500 dollars for a REFURBISHED computer with an i5?

>>61577230
Well what do you suggest? Because my priority lies with the recommended spec sheet I got sent by my school: 8 gigs of RAM, i5, and an SSD. There are literally no other notebooks that compare spec-wise in that price-range.

>>61575715
>It is Kevin the Solus shill buys 20 dollar extension cord,and a 20, dollar USB c to usb converter.


Never thought you would be so pathetic

>>61578130
Ok now this is bait or brain stroke damaged

>>61578192
I should mention that I live in the netherlands so everything that you think would be in my price range has 21% VAT ontop of it.

>>61578130
jeez anon
literally every laptop in the last 6 years has an intel i5 or greater (i7). also i dont think there are any newish notebooks with less than 8gb unless you buy apple.
also, except macbooks, pretty much all notebooks have a replaceable harddrive.
my advice: get any older notebook you like and upgrade ram (if needed) and buy a sdd(if needed).

Take that shit with a grain of salt. They often don't know what it actually takes to run certain software. Look at the requirements for the heaviest application you'll use and work from there.

>>61575211
>Never buy used Macs
Refurbs are actually great. 99% of the time they look brand new, you get the exact same warranty as a brand new one. Basically like getting a brand new Mac at a discount.

My Macbook Pro is a refurb and I saved a few hundred dollars.

>>61578088
There's nothing wrong with refurbished products as long as they're not chinese

>>61578569
Who pays this much for this trash when you can buy a much better CPU for less

>>61578518
I brought a refurbished Thinkpad t440 for 300$ with i5 and 8 gigs. And it's not shitty like an apple.

>>61575406
im pretty satisfied with it

wish it had a bit more powerful gpu though

>>61578617
I definitely wouldn't have gotten a dual-core, definitely not in the current year.

If you can afford* it, then no, not really.

* Afford meaning pay for it while following the 50/30/20 budgeting rule of thumb. If you just emptied out your savings account to buy this then you're retarded.

Yes.

That's a lot of money for an old shitty i5. I hope browsing Facebook is worth it.

Only reason I have a Macbook Air is because someone gave it to me for free. The trackpad is really nice, that's about it. The 1400x900 res is ass and even 2017 Macbook Airs have that res. Mine is a 2013.

Not unless you install gentoo as soon as you get it.

not an Apple fan but that's been debunked.
like the newer pros run with maxed out clocks, even though they run on 100C or so.
