The macbook air is the ultimate /g/ machine:
>Stealth camo, normies will never notice you because you blend in so well
>Fully compatible with any distro of linux that you like
>Stupid fast SSD speeds
>16:10 screen
>If you're optimizing your battery correctly on linux and use a light browser like qutebrowser you can easily push 14 hours of battery life.
>Build quality that is still unrivaled by most other laptops, while still being light
>Can easily expand to a full desktop and makes a good main PC
>You can install every OS currently in use on it, giving you an insane amount of versatility
I'm not even meming, I can't think of a better /g/-centric laptop. The XPS comes a little close but the HD display has ghosting issues and the QHD display auto-dims on linux (you can't turn it off)

MBA is trash and pointless. Can't wait for it to be killed off.
The only MB remotely worth owning is MBP.

Well this is a boldfaced lie. The build quality - especially the keyboard - is shit pure and simple, and you know it. At a certain time they were decent, yes, but they haven't been for years. But hey, if you want to throw your money away to some fat-nekked CEO, be my guest.

What? The air runs cool as fuck. It doesn't even throttle

How is it shit? The fan is the only moving part and the chassis is rigid as fuck. Compare that to the shitty deck flex in the xps

Didn't they discontinue it?
I thought the only options for buying a fagbook was either cucking yourself with 1 useless port or 4 useless ports?

That pic is for a software that I need for school.
Was thinking of buying a mac for it, since I don't want to use windows

>>61898734
>I'm 12 and this is dope

Gib 14" notebook with huge battery (100Wh minimum), a Raven Ridge APU, RX560 level GPU, a nice IPS screen and a good keyboard
Couldn't care less about the weight
>>
>>61899830
I'm also waiting for something like this. Spillproof keyboard and serviceable body would be the cherry on top. No numpads but those are luckily not in 14" laptops anyway.

>Intel processor aka universal backdoor & botnet

Sorry OP, we ain't buying. These issues make any mac product useless for /g/ purposes.

I'll give you over priced, but if you think that you're safe from the gubment with an old ass thinkpad and trannyboot you're mistaken.
You could have the strongest encryption in the world on the SD card hidden in your ass but if the NSA wants you they WILL get what they want.
>>61900455
Tlp and powertop. Also by not having sjwfox write to your disk constantly.
I actually hit 15 fucking hours of battery life on my air the other day. Granted I'm using mate on a very light arch install, but qutebrowser just fucking sips battery.

The air doesn't throttle though. I posted an in depth review above from a neutral source anon.
>>61899386
You can still get it with a student discount even. You get some nigga beats too.
Also it's trivial to dual boot macos with linux, so you'll get the best of both worlds

Retina and hidpi in general is such a dumb fucking meme
You end up scaling to retard tier resolutions like 1280x800 and you get worse performance and battery life.
The screen is bright, not oversaturated and most importantly easy to drive.
There's a reason that even the fanless macbook gets worse battery life than the air
