About to go buy a new Macbook Pro 13 inch model. I can get the 256gb non-touchbar for $1300 or the 256gb touchbar for $1375. A lot of people seem to hate the touch bar but it has a better CPU and from what I've read it has better read/write speeds. Is the touchbar one worth $75 or is it the touchbar too useless to warrant it?
>>
I like my TB model. I have the 15" though.
>>
For only a 75 dollar difference get the touchbar model. You get a faster cpu, the iris 650 instead of 640, touch id, and two extra usbc ports.
>>
The TB is pretty comfy, I can only recommend it
>>
For 75$ it's worth it. I wouldn't buy a MBP this gen due to other reasons like the keyboard, but better overall specs and 2 more ports for 75$? Absolutely.

The touchbar is pretty worthless and you gain no functionality from it.

The most useful things like changing volume, brightness you can already do with function keys.

Get a 5k iMac.

Get a 16gb/512gb Envy 13 instead get better performance out of the laptop and a better OS (Yes, I'm saying Win10 is better than MacOS. DOS would be better than MacOS X right now)

MacOS isn't iOS you dumb fucking pajeet
The terminal is just an included program

You don't have to jailbreak a thing kek. All of it is there by default. If you want more than the standard utils install brew. No one is stopping you, not even apple. There are reason serious software devs like Mac. All the benefits of Linux without the shit.

You just right click any app and click "open" it will tell you it's from an unidentified developer and then you click "okay" and it opens and never asks again.

I don't use mine in English but assuming that's not a shoop, then it's still misleading. The second option for "identified developers" can be identified yourself. It's not some shit Apple decides like you are trying to claim. It's the same as MS "do you want to run this program". Once you allow a new program once you can run it.

There is no "jailbreak".

My question is who hires you sad people? I mean promoting your product is one thing but why do you have people bashing Macs with false infomation. Or maybe you're just retarded.

You know if anyone tries a mac and realizes you just made up bullshit they will never listen to any anti mac bullshit again. What exactly is the endgame with you people?

They'd realize all the negatives are true and that they wasted their money and will never trust you shills again.

Then again, some people are just brain dead and need to learn lessons the hard way.

Nobody is developing anything for it, but Apple has integrated functions for every program on it.

It's just a feature to make things a bit easier, not better.

Apple does this all the time.
>>
>>62155866
Worked for me the other day.

You clearly have never used Mac. Also, it not opening is what happens when you double click it. You have to right click and open. It's a security feature.

I've hardly seen any bugs on mine at all. Did you hackintosh? Due to low marketshare etc I'd expect MacOS to be buggier than Windows but it's not, everything just werks on mine.

Only problems I ever had were with some samsung earphones, all sorts of weird shit started happening when I plugged them in, likely driver issues. Other than that there has been a few minor graphical glitches and that's about all I can think of.

test out the TB version before you buy it in store then
i like the TB and it feels normal, no idea what the hate is, they just want to find shit to hate
but i wont want to pay more for the TB version tho, devs need to create the button for their apps for the TB and most of them are script kiddies that copy paste shit at stack exchange so maybe thats where all the hate comes from
