I *might* me going to school in the next month. Will it be nice to geat NacBook?

If I got a thinkpad, I'd have to look at a thinkpad all day.

nah this is better

if you can afford it just get a macbook and dont listen to the turbo neets on Jow Forums.

>it hurts to live

what the fuck is that monstrosity

Honestly just buy one, try it out for a bit, and return it if you don't like it.

You're paying a premium, but if you like it you like it. Be sure to use the education discount

>if you can afford it
>mfw there's people who can't afford a $1500 purchase

ishygddt

No. I don't know why every school/collegefag all of a sudden gets it in their heads that they need/should have a macbook. You don't need one. If it's just for taking notes, you can do that on literally anything. If it's for running computationally intensive shit, there's various business laptops that can get the job done with less thermal throttling.

>there are people who willingly restrict themselves on what theyre able to do on a computer

$1500 is 5 weeks on minimum wage

Those pictures probably are applefags memes

>mfw there are people who can't afford a brand new car
>mfw there are people who can't afford to buy a home in a major metro
>mfw there are people who can't pay cash for their kids' college education
>mfw there are people who don't pay capital gains tax
>mfw 99% of the the population of the planet continues to exist despite all encouragement to the contrary

What do minimum wage workers even need a laptop for?

people legit think a macbook will instantly make them an amazing student/musician/photographer/etc

People use macbooks because you get the unix environment with all the software support, at least once you get into the industry. In college its just for the image.

Basically
>dude what if instead of a gaming laptop we just put PC parts in a pizza box
but mass produced.

you retard trying to purposely look retarded by not using a dock. the point of thunderbolt 3 is so all connections including power and display can go through one unified port. get a fucking dock you retard

to get a medium wage work

This kid was probably an intern on the project

For a start you wouldn't be able to do it.
For another Macfags don't waste their time setting up stupid Thinkpad montages.

also you would be using a dock with the Thinkpad. you wouldn't be unplugging and plugging 10 different cables everytime you sit down with the laptop....

Yeah a ThinkPad can never have that much I/O even with a bulky dock thanks to more TB3 daisy chained on the Mac. You niggers are scared of wires now? You're poking fun at the most throughput in any laptop ever made, the most expandable laptop ever made?

You'd jiggle in excitment if this was a Windows laptop. Windows quad-TB3 laptops will trickle down to you poorfags in 5 years or so maybe when your legacy trash stops being made. Boo hoo, poor VGA port.

What a dumb 'tech' board this is. None of you have any experience with any tech whatsoever.

someone explain what is connected in this pic

Any random shit to make it look as messy as possible. Probably from Reddit. Notice the Thunderbolt 2 to Thunderbolt 3 adapters.

There already is a Windows version of the MacBook.
Anyways, your laptop brand isn't technology. Apple isn't technology. They make a good operating system, I'll give them that, but all in all they're a fashion company, who specializes in technology. And it's not just Apple, either. Samsung and most other consumer electronics brands pull the same shit.
I feel like you're getting "consumer electronics" and "technology" seriously confused. Consumer electronics are barely technology, and they have no place in any technological discussion. If you want news about whatever unoriginal slab of glass Apple's gonna put out next, there's plenty of "technology" news websites that discuss precisely that.
Also, a thinkpad (hell, even any laptop with a bit of thickness for that matter) has more than enough I/O to cover the OP image.
What I see there is a VGA connector, some sort of Y connection splitter which seems to charge the MacBook and lead to some sort of device, maybe the user's iPhone? I also see 2 USB devices plugged in on the right side, which every single thinkpad more than accomodates.
It seems to me that the user's headphones are plugged in at the top-right (also accommodated by a thinkpad) and a few thunderbolt cords going to unspecified locations.
All in all, you're spewing shit out your ass and unironically defending a professional-grade laptop having no more than 2 kinds of ports (literally USB-C and a headphone jack), and pretending that the MacBooks excellent utilization of daisy chaining is a good thing. No laptop should need that amount of cables and converter boxes, and for a portable computer it sure does need quite a bit of external help to handle the most basic daily use.

not him but i can sorta see what apple's trying to do with usb-c, it's just the ideal where every device uses it is at least a decade off from now

Imagine typing all that shit out and still barely getting a point across.

>its le fashion i swear !
>it looks decent so it has to be fashion
>FASHION FASHIONFASIONM

Nigger stop. Real life is not Jow Forums. Fashion is worn. Computers aren't fashion you fucking autist. Maybe to YOU they are, because you're a faggot. Consumer tech is tech that the average consumer uses. Unless you want to talk about what obscure OS CERN uses, which you couldn't even participate in anyway. Your tryhard srs bsns act is one that's been portrayed a million times on this board. It reeks of desperation to try and seem like you're a specialist, like you're only into 'hardcore; things.

>No laptop should need that amount of cables and converter boxes, and for a portable computer it sure does need quite a bit of external help to handle the most basic daily use.

Wireless on the go, docked at the desk. How could you miss this so badly?

>dongle to dongle

what pen and mat is that, thanks

Nowhere did I say consumer electronics are a bad thing. I own multiple consumer electronics. My phone costed ~$700 and I own a thinkpad, and a gaming console for occasional use.
Simply put, consumer electronics don't belong here not because they're bad, but simply because there's nothing to discuss.
>Wireless on the go, docked at the desk.
What if you're at a mates house and he hands you a pendrive? A microsd because he wants you to copy pictures from his phone? There are multiple occasions where you might need a specific port and it simply won't be available without carrying around a bag full of dongles. Having them all baked into the device itself in a tight, compact fashion is much more sound.

Except my thinkpad still has VGA and only 2 low speed USBs

Imagine running a riced out gentoo + i3 on that

My boss is buying me a 2018 MBPr for work and I feel so dirty.

>all that high end hardware
>displayed with a shitty undersaturated dim panel

>"pen"drive

If you're at your mate's house, you exchange files over his goddamn network.

Now you're being picky.
My point is that situations arise where you might need a port that you don't have a dongle for.

How's that being picky? I literally just suggested a better alternative. If you're at someone's house to pick up files, or even if it just happens you can just transfer it over their wifi network.

No device will ever have everything you may possibly need for every imaginable scenario. How many laptops have Ethernet these days? Not even ThinkPad Cabrons have them without a dongle. One time I was at a girl's house and her wifi was suspiciously slow. I wanted to diagnose, she lived in a packed apartment complex and I thought there may be interference. She had an older MacBook Pro with an Ethernet port still, but I didn't have an Ethernet port and she couldn't find one in her box of cables. I had a W530 and an X230 in a backpack because I had them at another mate's house. Obviously I didn't end up doing shit.

If you think you're prepared for every possible situation, you're naive and autistic. You never will be, there will always be something you may wish to do but can't in the same moment. You can't be prepared for everything unless you want to carry 2 duffel bags of cables and adapters everywhere you go. The cable and monitor/TV situation is already a clusterfuck. If I ended up somewhere with a TV instead of a monitor or whatever and I wanted to hook u my W530 I couldn't because it only has a Mini DP port.

If I had a MacBook Pro and where I went had an Apple TV connected to a TV I could watch shit easily. When everyone moves to wireless there *should* be none of these 'situations' where you don't have the right port or cable.

When you're at home there's times, or setups where you wish to plug in a shitload of peripherals, no laptop today is more expandable than the MacBook Pro. An I/O monster at home and thin and light to cram in an already tight and heavy backpack. The best of both worlds.

Yikes.

Based Acer.

>that aspect ratio
Into the trash it goes.

See that logo on the right hand side? That's Sketch, it won't run on your shitty chinkpad so the argument is irrelevant.

As for being dongled it looks like they've intentionally found a way to use as many adapters as possible, USBC to DP cables or a splitter would remove the need for the two left adapters, a better hub on the right could free up one slot, it all looks terribly inefficient with tons of poor decisions being made.

b-b-but user, I ordered my second thinkpad yesterday! now have an x60 and a t420

Apple user interface is awesomeZ first MBP was purchased a couple months back. Bought iPhone. Cannot plug it in. Bought Magic Mouse for adobe creative suite projects, it cannot be linked without initially plugging it in into mbp, AND the cord they gave me for the Magic Mouse didn’t come with usb c. I had to buy a usb c to lightening cable. Apply needs to get some shit straight, and not rely on some chink that runs a shitty relatively low end unknown tech review channel to fix throttle long issues. I fought getting any Mac products for the longest time because of my experience with their money scheme tactics that where borderline illegal. They came out with an edition of iPod Touch with no Bluetooth. It could have easily had blue tooth, but no. Then they came out with a second gen with the hardware for Bluetooth in the iPod Touch, but NO software. They charged several dollars for the upgrade. Why not include it for free? That was in 2010ish time frame.

I like Apple, but they are seriously pushing boundaries, and they have already worn me thin with their MacBook Pro problems. I work side by side, I’m a UI designer and my Indian poo friend is a full stack developer, and his 2015 mbp is still more modern than my 2017 mbp. Just a fact of life. Apple knows the future, and yes it’s USBC, and I get the idea of forcing people to modernize, but we are not there. We are close, but damn, I feel like an idiot for getting this Mac for 3 times the price as a used 2015.

Holy shit I didn’t proof read and my post is riddled with typos. Pls forgive. Just got off work.

>Buy a laptop with only USB-C interface
>Complain about it instead of buying the kit you need
Third party USB-C to USB-A adapters are so cheap why didn't you take the initiative to buy one instead of not being able to sync your mouse? I've got a 13" 2015 MBP and a 2017 15" one sat on my desk right now and I bought kit in preparation, what's your excuse?

I'd feel so stupid lugging that thing around.

Box didn’t say you needed to plug it in to work.
My point was Apple doesn’t include it in. These are pennies on the dollar.
Second point is for a new Mac user, I feel like the each product is way to make money, more so than other companies. They have a great product, but everything is a damn tactic to squeeze money. Third party adapters are not cheap at a store where you are picking up your MBP, dude. Easily $50 for a decent package. Nobody is going to just get a single USB adapter. People want a good multi use adapter.

Box as in the box of the Magic Mouse. It said Bluetooth. When I get home I see a classic usb cord to plug in your Mouse.

>going to school in the next month
>pass user since 2012
underage

Yeah, liberal arts majors use macs because of the Unix environment

My magic mouse came with a lightning cable, they should include a usbc to lightning in the box agreed.

>Third party adapters are not cheap at a store where you are picking up your MBP
An Apple store? Apple store won't stock third party adapters, they cost £10 on Amazon here.

>Nobody is going to just get a single USB adapter.
The one I ordered for a designer had 3 USB-A ports and ethernet, less than a tenner.

>I feel like the each product is way to make money
Holy fuck stop the presses, a company wants to make money?

>buying more adapters than needed like in photo
>implying you can't get 1 hub that does all but maybe of of the video outputs at the same time
>knowing you need VGA, display port, USB A x2 but buying a pc without any of them
>complain about apple using the latest video and data connector

it looks like it could lift itself off the desk and fly away if it wanted to
