13" 3.1GHZModel for $1,699 after school rebate
And I'm just baka about paying about twice what she should pay.

I know there are some serious general disadvantages like you can't run anything Windows without dualbooting but what are some model specific issues that I could succinctly list for her to attempt to convince her?

Now she's imo just being somewhat of a hipster but if she needs it then she has to get a mac. I haven't stayed up to date on the differences the past five or so years so I'm not sure. She's doing some fashion industry stuff so she needs to be able to use certain programs like photoshop and for some reason the video editing software not sure which

Now I know in the past there were certain programs that only worked on mac and on top of this required peripherals that only worked on mac and on top of THAT it was for some reason necessary to have a thunderbolt plug

But as of today, can't she just dualboot macos on a Windows pc? They've been using Intel cpus forever, is running macos on a PC normal and feasible? Would it run too slow to be worth it?

I know there are some programs that can just be run from Windows just fine like Photoshop but are there any that still need macos and do you need a thunderbolt plug?

I know that there are no PCs with thunderbolt so if she needs this to plugin some stupid peripheral key to use some stupid mac only program then she has no choice

Sorry for my cancerous post I just can't be arsed to keep up with a herpes infested company like Apple

What? This has nothing to do with you.

You should know that when women buy anything, it's not about functionality, quality, or value - it's about groupthink, fitting in, and being fashionable.

She has her values and she's acting to fulfill them. It's her money and her laptop - It's not going to affect you; you're not going to be using it.

So just let her get her rubbish so she can fit in with her friends.
Again, it has nothing to do with you.

It's actually not her money it's her mom's and her mom is currently upset over having to spend so much when she just got a laptop a few years ago but you're right but given it isn't her money her values aren't the only factor in making the decision
