I could justify $1000 on a laptop if I'm gonna keep it for a long time and the build quality is amazing.
Macbooks offer neither longevity nor build quality, the screen literally delaminates shortly after your applecare warranty expires.

Since when is a non-workstation laptop about 'bang for buck'? What is your definition of 'bang'? Do you mine shitcoins on laptops or something? Laptops are about usability. Bang for buck is for DESKTOPS. You are either going to be running Windows 10, or some skidmark variant of Linux, both are absolute dogshit compared to macOS Sierra, so please tell me where this increased 'bang' is from, I'd love to know.

It seems like you're the one who's retarded. The OS is the only thing that matters on a laptop. Windows 10 is bloated and broken pajeetware bullshit, macOS is lightweight as fuck in comparison, especially High Sierra with APFS, if you even know what that is. You're a video game player aren't you? You're unable to think about anything beyond what hardware can churn out what zombie shooting frames at what rate.

What went wrong with Apple?

In my personal opinion, I like windows above all other OS. It's smooth to me, and I like the way it's laid out. I will admit though, that I do admire certain aspects of Linux. I do like the overall feel and look that Cinnamon offers, and prefer that over window's aesthetic. I honestly just use windows for Vidya, and because I'm more of a hardware enthusiast than a software enthusiast.

Absolutely not, but is it because XP's design is genuinely good or because muh nostalgia?

I agree. Flat design is pretty but very obviously lazy. Very little effort put into it. I think the only real exception to the 'lazy' stereotype is Material Design, but even then sometimes the colors clash so badly it looks like they just randomly picked to totally unrelated colors and went with it.

>>61588566
