Why do iMacs get so much hate here? >You can still run Gentoo.

But you can't do any of those things as easily as you could on a computer you build yourself for 1/3 the price.
A proper computer build should spend all of it's budget on quality parts, not a fucking brand name and a laptop ULV cpu that throttles down to 800MHz when watching youtube.

If you aren't buying 8K now you're a poor loser.

FUCK NO!

The cheapest 5K monitor out there costs $1299.

Entry 5K costs $1799

So after you buy the monitor, you have $500

How the fuck are you buying a:

i5-7500 ($200)
RX 570 4GB ($200)

And then with the $100 you are buying:

Motherboard (4 DIMM, USB 3.1 Gen 2, USB-C Thunderbolt 3.0)
8GB DDR4 2400Mhz
1TB HD-SSD
Case
PSU
Keyboard
Mouse
Legal Operating System

Dell's 5K monitor was far superior to Applels 5K display in the iMac.
It's a pity they stopped making it, but that's probably because 5K is an odd resolution that doesn't have a lot of traction behind it.
Meanwhile they jumped on 8K before anyone else, which is the next major format.

You can still pick up Dell's 5K monitor for $1299 second hand though, which leaves you with plenty of money to out do the iMac, especially if you go for a speced up version instead of the base model.

>>61960719

> Dell's 5K monitor was far superior to Applels 5K display in the iMac.

Because you say so.

Dell's monitor costed $2200+, more than the entire iMac 5k!

> It's a pity they stopped making it, but that's probably because 5K is an odd resolution that doesn't have a lot of traction behind it.

What sort of bullshit it's that? It's a COMPUTER MONITOR, has the resolution that anyone wants.

5K is 1440p @ 2x

> Meanwhile they jumped on 8K before anyone else, which is the next major format.

At $5000 for the monitor only?

LMAO!

i bought an iMac after using an ultrawide and mac pro

reason being the display can't be matched right now in the market

the ultra wide wasn't being used to it's full potential, i often only used 2/3rds of the screen at a time, but on the rare occasions i would watch movies they looked amazing

the iMac has a great screen, and apple's built in mission control thing or whatever the fuck its called allows you to switch apps pretty easily without cluttering the shit out of your desktop

the one thing that fucking blows on the iMac is the piece of shit joke of a fan they put in the thing - its literally built to overheat

i'm waiting for iMacs 2018 redesign (as leakers have stated) which will probably feature the fan redesign the upcoming "iMac pro" will have
- aka the computer will be way fucking better after this redesign
- especially if they allow the back of the computer to be user accessible without all that stupid adhesive bullshit (i mean how are you supposed to clean dust out of the current models? - its bullshit)

>>61959868

You can check the facts if you want. Dell's monitor is proper 10bit, not 8bit + dithered, and 99% AdobeRGB color space.

>What sort of bullshit it's that? It's a COMPUTER MONITOR, has the resolution that anyone wants.
And 8K isn't?
5K is not a standard resolution. It's like the 16:10 ratio panels which have much lower production runs than 16:9.
No one is producing 5K content. While 5K is nice in that you can have 4K content displayed with UI around it, that doesn't define what panels are actually popular and will actually sell in high quantities to justify the continued production line. 8K is where we are moving to, which is why they moved there.

Second hand is justifiable for these monitors because they are good monitors. You will pick them up as new and if they are still in their warranty period you will enjoy better warranty coverage than you get with Apple.

And remember, Applefags brag about the resale value of their products, so you won't enjoy the same sort of price reduction buying an iMac 5K second hand.

ok well i should mention i'm not only talking about the display ITSELF

i mean that the computer has adjustable brightness immediately accessible through the keyboard (which you can't access through a 3rd party)
- it has an auto-brightness detection feature (same used on the phones)
- it has auto-retina scaling so you're not squinting at your 5120 x 2880 display while still keeping the clarity

again... i'm not talking about just the fucking screen itself

Apple hardware is fine. The displays are best-in-class, and the specifications are fine. They're marketed and price as a premium product, nobody complains about a maxed out Surface Pro costing a shitload.

Macs do suck, however, because macOS is a bag of dicks. It's designed for stability over speed, yet still experiences kernel panics more frequently than it should. Driver support is atrocious, especially display drivers.

The only redeeming thing about the OS is how it handled hiDPI scaling, which is something Windows Metro is designed to fix anyway.

In short; Macs for fine, macOS is for fags.

Yes, but you can do all that for 1/10th of the price, or for 1/2 of the price if you get a decent display.

I like the OS, I don't like the iMac. I don't hate it either.

The problem is, it's really, really underpowered for the price. All for the sake of a display with a really high resolution and a more difficult way of dealing with repairs. I'd rather spend a bit more and get a nice PC and a similar display separately. I could build one that's pretty much close to perfectly compatible with hackintosh, like the one I'm using right now.

Your list of reasons is not going to convince anyone, because a fucking $200 chinkpad can do most of that (maybe except plug all of those 8TB drives? but why the fuck would people like that even exist?)

>>61959868
>gay virtual machine

>>61962360
It actually doesn't matter whether you use the same hardware or not with both OSes, Windows will still deal better with games.

In my case I don't really give two shits so I ended up with hackintosh because, ironic as it may really sound, it's the most headache free OS I've ever used, and I've been using it for about 2 years.

OSX is just not made for games. There is not a single game that runs better on it than it would on Windows, and at best, you could make it run at equal performance (and that's rare). Heck I even tested gzdoom. Over 1k FPS on both Windows and Linux, just over 300 on Sierra. Yeah, it's 300, perhaps 200 more than many people would ever need, but still hardware doesn't fix the problem alone.

All in all if you enjoy games just that much don't make a hackintosh. If you play games with low requirements, indie games and such (except for shit like Hollow Knight which is better to run native) I'd recommend using Parallels as silly as it sounds, I've played quite a few recent Windows exclusive indie games without framedrops and it's piss easy to set up.

>>61962535
Probably. I believe there are some caveats to running eGPU on OSX currently as well.

Like if you run it on a Macbook you can't accelerate the inbuilt display. I dunno if the same is true for iMacs.

>>61962711
>It actually doesn't matter whether you use the same hardware or not with both OSes, Windows will still deal better with games.
I never said otherwise.

>>61962740
Well yeah. I'm just saying that the eGPU route is not exactly going to fix the problem at its full extent there.

However I like the idea of being able to use these. I would find it much more convenient to get a macbook pro these days than an iMac, even if you get a smaller display, mainly because of that.

>>61962769
>I would find it much more convenient to get a macbook pro these days than an iMac, even if you get a smaller display, mainly because of that.

>>61962740
I still don't understand the point of the iMac it's just a laptop put in a screen. If you need a desktop you have the space for something that can contain the hard drives you want. Also if you fuck up bootcamp you loose all your shit isn't too hard to use bootcamp anymore.

honest question, what is the point of the 5k display on a Mac? No movies are in 5k and Mac's don't have the horse power to render games at that resolution.

>>61963650
>i am a snownigger
are you russian?

>>61965232
Yep.

>>61959868
Because buying a new monitor every time you upgrade your PC is fucking stupid.

>>61963532
5k monitors are for editing 4k pics and video easily, on a 4k monitor you're going to need to scroll the image.

>>61960548
Are you from 2007?

>>61959868
I use imacs to program at work and the font rendering is amazing on the 5k models. Other than that it's really nothing special.

>>61965210
Not him but

HiDPI.. I would pay out the ass for none blurry fonts. After have used a retina MBP, that is one of the only reasons to buy a MAC if you are a programmer.(makes a huge difference)

You Applefags have nothing else to do more than spend your money into marketting and be proud with it.

>>61965539
true.
I've got a 27" 1440p Dell IPS as my main monitor and while I love it I wish it was as sharp as my rMBP 13" 2015.

>>61965694
enjoy ur shitty 768p TN chinkpad u fuken poorfag lmao

Who cares? They all do the same shit. Apple may be overpriced but they're also the only company offering a no-nonsense experience out of the box. I could build a pc and put Ubuntu on it, or I could buy an iMac and get on with my life.

I own a 5K iMac

What's with the overheating meme ?

I've never heard the fans on OS X (mainly use it for Final Cut) and often on Windows but it's because I'm playing games. No lags on three hours sessions of GTA V.

>>61965539
I have never seen beyond 1080p in person (don't want to yet because too poor to afford a new screen) but if high DPI makes that much of a difference now i am more excited to save money for a 4k monitor.

>>61959868
>shit overheating hardware
give me the screen alone and i'd be happy i don't want the garbage inside

>>61959868
That aside, do Mac users actually use the incomplete, flat and uncomfortable keyboard in picrelated? I've always been curious about that.

>>61962171
>Quit wanking to framerates and try enjoying the games.
yeah good idea i will make my games run worse so i can enjoy them, or you know i could use an os on which they run properly so i can properly enjoy them

>>61966794
so wait
you are saying that if you have the option between something objectively worse and something objectively better you will take the worse because you don't need no high framerates?
why?
if you have the choice there's no reason to go with the worse

>>61966869
I'll take a better OS over a better gaymen experience any day.

>>61966899
Paying $2000 for an OS is pretty unreasonable.

>>61967008
I spent $500 for it years ago. Sounds pretty reasonable to me, not to mention I got a free AIO with that $500 OS.

>>61966794
>Why should I fuck off for stating facts, you goddamned shitstain?
Your headcanon is not a fact in any way, shape or form.

>>61967119
Anon, not needing a VM to run Gentoo on a Mac is a fact no matter how many times you say otherwise.

I forgot the CPU renders the image

All 5K iMacs have discrete GPUs

>>61965210

Damn someone's triggered. Keep being a cuck you blue haired whale.

>>61970379
he was a gay

>27" best in class 5K display, and an automatically cleaner, quieter desktop

It's a laptop you can't carry around. Not objectively different in quality from other shitty all-in-ones.

I also very strongly doubt that Apple makes the best displays. "Retina display" was only new and interesting because Microsoft's legacy-support OS is designed for use on low resolution monitors.

>>61970247
didn't your parents teach you to show respect? or is it because you being on an anonymous image board gives you the autistic power to bad mouth everyone you see?

>>61964797
Apple hasn't updated opengl in years

>>61970859
`Given he's CEO of the most successful companies in California I think Cook's doing ok. I disagree with a lot of his decisions at Apple but whining about him being gay when he's so rich and successful comes off as petty.

Companies buy in bulk
They probably buy 1000 graphics cards in bulk at 10 dollars each
They probably get the screens in bulk for about that too
Consumer and business market are very different

>Good screen
>Shit parts
Either way they make a profit
Don't really need 5k either though

You can't do them easily in any loonix distro either.

>>61965265
>on a 4k monitor you're going to need to scroll the image.
Or just scale the image.

Working on an image slightly scaled down (or even 50% for that matter) isn't that much of an issue.
Pixel peeping is not a necessary thing and single pixel, or single pixel width defects aren't that common.

It's something you would check for probably at the beginning and end of your editing but you don't really need to be able to check the status of every single pixel during the editing process.

You literally just pry the bezel and pop it off / back in. Everything is clean and accessible.

I've cut my fingers more than I can count sliding drives and RAM in and out of those old man 'Box Tower' type desktops

Because macs are PCs built around an idea of design. Even the concept of "mac" is a marketing gimmick, it's meant to give you the impression they're not regular PCs even though they have ordinary PC components, just like other computers. Nooo, they're something special, very special, apart from anything else that calls itself a computer. They come from Fairyland, where only Snow White, the Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella used them.

That's why they need to look so white, pristine and chamfered.

Tldr, it's all design and marketing, dude, and they charge you a premium for this illusion, even though they're made in China, by slaves.

>>61976172
maybe for the pre-2011 iMacs, but the new iMacs have shitty adhesive that basically isn't meant to be removed in order to do simple shit like clean the dust that accumulates in your imac

hopefully they'll fix this retarded design in the upcoming 2018 iMac if they actually allow screws to hold the back of the computer in place
