I actually considering going through with it and i do not know if I should. I like the clean design i am going for. So is this a bad idea?

Buy it then. Never care what /g/ thinks, if they had their way everyone would be using plastic Thinkpad shitboxes
>>
Just buy a normal PC for about 1k

If you're only interested in a Mac for its looks then you're doing it wrong.
>>
If you like it, have the means to buy it, and you've evaluated that it's a solid investment, then do so.

But you fucking won't. As usual.

This. Instead of getting durable ~$200 computers that can run to 3.2 GHz under max load and have components easily upgraded or replaced everyone should get ~$1,000 fragile and flimsy computers that constantly throttle to 0.8 GHz under moderate load that require advanced reverse engineering and soldering skills to replace hardware but literally can't upgrade.

Wise choice. Go for it.

Wait hold on, it is worse. You are not comparing left and right, you want both.

>$3950 dual-core facebook machine
Very wise choice. Go for it.

Just get the last year mbp if you're aching for a mac. Though judging by the amount of peripherals it's going to be a gayman machine which will be taken out of the house once in a blue moon to browse 4chan and watch youtube, so you should stop lying to yourself and get a PC and a shitty android tablet for less money.

What's to hate about a commercially supported UNIX system with no systemd shit and a very polished UI?

>>62292029
Do you really need those specs? The touchbar/butterfly keyboard? 16gigs on a i5-U processor? Seems like you could get a non touch-bar model from the year before which should have a better keyboard and battery life while getting by with 8gb ram.

>>62292029
I don't see the point of the shit on the right, you can get a desktop with a 7700K or Ryzen CPU for not a lot more. Much better than the shitty dual core CPU in the 13" MacBook Pro.
