>>62319992
that's not a macbook pro, it's a normal macbook (12 inch screen)

My macbook Pro is 6 years old and dying. I need a new one. Are the new Macs worth it? The price tag looks disgusting and the specs don't seem much better than my 2.4Ghz i7 from 6 years ago.

That's just the objective things before going into details. Also where the fuck did you see 1.9k? Got mine for just 1300 two years ago, and still haven't seen anything better at any price point.

Surface Pro is interesting and I'd love some pen input for sketches and notes but it appears crappy at being a laptop. Besides Windows is getting more horrible every day. iPad Pro got all the same pros and cons, and while the OS isn't as crappy, it's very, very limited.


>>62319966

Loonix is useless for most people having a job, unless your job is IT stuff of course. Besides, it's ugly as death if you're not willing to waste some time to fix the mess.

I am talking from the perspective of your average customer, if you need some specific shit, the entire discussion is moot, since you know what you need best. The question was, why people buy it.

>>62320164
If you kill ports, there are other better technologies. Bluetooth deprecated headphone jack. Wi-Fi deprecated things plebs need adapters for. There are sd cards and usb devices with wifi nowadays.

Wireless headphones still suck due the battery life. Apple fucked up by keeping headphone jack and going with lighting on their phones instead of just pushing USB C headphones.

Macbook 12 with two usb c ports and usb c headphones included plus adapter for headphone jack luddites would be absolute perfection. Instead they created a bizarre mess inside their own eco system.

You can quote me on this, they will only get leaner as well. I hear the next model won't have a keyboard to eliminate keyboard bloat.

Unless you're consuming or producing media it absolutely is enough. With the growth of streaming services, the importance of disk space for consuming media is diminishing.

At most you're only going to need a USB type C hub like a HyperDrive. You don't need to buy individual dongles.
And in 4 or 5 years, everything will be USB C compatible anyway. I hate Apple as much as you do but the 'dongle' meme is blown WAY out of proportion.

No I'm not baiting. You think everything about laptops is about them being a huge pile of plastic junk with monster power-hungry CPUs and GPUs but real life doesn't work like that. A laptop is meant to be carried around without trouble.

I also have no idea why you keep bringing that dongle thing up. What the fuck are you even plugging to a laptop outdoors besides the charger? Everything else is handled via wifi, bluetooth, headphone jack.

There's nothing wrong with spending $100 on headphones if you can afford it, but don't call it an investment. They're not going to appreciate in value.

I use an iMac at work and the thing is a dream, mostly because of macOS (coming from Ubuntu). I'd love to get one at home but I'm not sure I can justify paying 2/3000 on a computer when I could get an equivalent Linux machine for maybe half the price. I looked at the macbooks but I want to move away from being hunched over a smaller screen.

>>62328566
It sort of is an investment, or at least midigats hearing loss which will save you money. I used crappy headphones growing up and my ears are blown.

If your grammar is anything to go by, it was because you were listening to them too loudly. A sub optimal dribver does not cause hearing loss. Listening to your wigger faggotry at 11 does.

Headphones are not an investment.

The base model that I bought was $1800, which is less than an equivalent setup with a 5k monitor would cost. I'm actually liking it a lot and am glad I bought it, I don't like the apple mouse though, it's not ergonomic and the lack of right click bugs me.

Yeah the mouse isn't great, the right click area seems small so I often left click when I mean to right click. I've been impressed with the keyboard actually and I usually dislike flat keyboards.

The 27" screen really is beautiful - I don't think I could drop down to 21.5". The one at work has all the bells and whistles (16gb RAM, 512gb ssd, 4.2gb i7) but I don't think I'd need all that.

I've been using a 2009 unibody MacBook since I bought it shortly after it's original release. It's never crashed, I've never had to reinstall the main os, I can boot it into Windows 7 and Linux, it still has a solid 5 hours of battery life using OS X, fans hardly ever spin up, good amount of ports... I can't speak for the newer MacBooks but I can say that the one I'm using has been hands down the best, most reliable and most versatile computer I've ever owned.

What am I reading? Do you actually believe an Apple laptop would last 30 minutes on battery brand new?

2014 fully specced 15" MBP here. Lags with safari, excel and mail open.

> 1900 dollars
"no".

Have a 2016 space grey one, costed me 1300€. Best computer I've ever owned. The 12" form factor is perfect, the screen is gorgeous, the force touch trackpad is great, the keyboard is the best I've ever used, the processor and graphics handle everything fine with no lag –and no fan. I don't use the USB ports so I don't care about them (I don't even own an adapter). Keep hating about electronic devices you don't own on an anonymous Japanese imageboard though if that's the best thing you can do with your time.

Wouldn't surprise me, apple haters are really that retarded.

Maybe not for an autistic anime hoarder like you, but my x220t has a 60GB SSD which is 60% free

You're just bitching that something is expensive because it offers usability at a very convenient form factor

Nigga, what? They all have core M and the difference between m3, m5 and m7 is pretty much non existent in real use either way.

Which year has the best macbook pros? I'm looking to buy a second hand one.

Everyone talks about CPU and video card but the SSD is one of the best right? I don't know much about that and RAM but theres also RAM speed. I know the SSD in Macbooks is really fast.

>Air is overpriced trash these days and MBP much heavier, larger and got a fan. Most people won't notice the performance difference either way.
The Air also has a fan, every Mac aside from the 12" MacBook has a fan.

>>62331202
Yes, although it's still limited a bit by CPU. MBP uses the same SSD but it's even faster there.

>>62331262

"Lemme just wait for it to upload."
Also, I hope you don't intend to send anything bigger than a PPT file. Wifi isn't that bad for speed anymore but it'll still be slower than a physical connection.

>>62331348
Air also got a joke resolution, making you overlook the other downsides. It would be a decent entry option for half the price but asking 1k for it is insanity.

MBP got it's uses and is generally a great laptop but the performance benefit (hence the need for fan) won't be noticed by most.

Only laptop on the market with a good track pad.
Prove me wrong.

>>62331374
I feel like Air is the one normies get because they want a Mac but can't afford the higher ones

>>62331186
>Sure just airdrop it me

>>62331372
>"Lemme just wait for it to upload."
Even if you have a horrible connection, it won't take much longer than sticking in an usb drive, copying it to it and sticking it into another laptop.

For larger files, one probably would think ahead and bring a portable HDD. Just what kind of large files would you even handle on a passively cooled laptop with 12" screen?

>>62331387
Only laptop on the market that you can't plug a mouse into.

>>62331415

One, how many portable drives have a USB-C interface?
Two, the joke is that if I wanted a work computer it wouldn't be a 1,300 BurgBux fashion statement, it'd be a 1,000 BurgBux workstation. Running Linux. And Windows for that one faggot who insists on not making a Linux build for his software.

because when I hook it up to an external monitor what am I going to operate it with if not a mouse?
you think I am going to buy some trackpad shit this shit cost enough already

>>62331520
Yeah, but if mac users were that smart it wouldn't have made headlines.

Form factor is amazing
Screen is amazing
Touchpad is amazing
Keyboard is amazing
No fans is amazing
Performance is enough
Only downside is the price

>>62331482
>how many portable drives have a USB-C interface?
A lot modern ones do actually, besides adapters exist and if you're already carrying a portable drive, you'd survive carrying an adapter too.

>workstation. Running Linux
Which is like the opposite of what MB is either way. You're a completely different market.

>OH GOD WHY DID EVERYONE ON THE SUBWAY SEND ME DICKS"
>implying your average mac user would mind

>>62331534
The trackpad is just fine for it, at least it was for me when using one external monitor. It takes a bit time getting used to but it's way more efficient than moving around with your hands from the keyboard.

>>62331591
Were you the guy who was talking about Macs being for people who have jobs? Because it sounds like you're describing a thousand-dollar fashion statement, not a working man's computer. And if I were in the market for thousand-dollar fashion statements I'd rather have a kickass coat.

Most jobs don't require a workstation. Doesn't Tim Cook manage the most valuable company on a fucking iPad?

But lots of manufacturers make them by now, though. You can even go to a fucking normie store and pick up a USB-C flash drive.

What the fuck even is that piece of garbage? I'm a tech enthusiast and I have the faintest clue as to what that's supposed to be. And LG? They are not in any shape or form a famed laptop manufacturer. Apple fucking built the modern computer and literally brought it to the masses.

The MacBook has incredibly long battery life in such a small package, the display is second to none and the software is literally years ahead of anything on Earth. Your shitty Linux remix distro or the latest Service Pack of Windows 10 cannot dream of comparing to it at all. Get it in your heads.

Honest to god /g/ why are you so fucking stupid? Idiots.

My mother in-law needed a new laptop. She needed something light, compact, and pretty to throw in her $10,000 purse. She doesn't care about specs as long as it works so it was perfect for her.
