$1200 for an i5 processor, 8GB RAM and a 128GB SSD

>it won't throttle, we swear
>windows doesn't do everything a mac can
how do i get paid to shill for aplel?

A $0.15 contribution to your iTunes account has been made.

I'm gonna buy it so it can match my gold iphone xs max.

Apple charges what the market will bear. Until sales drop they have no reason to lower prices.

it literally is. I had a dual core i5 13 inch macbook pro with 8gb ram and it ran every daw significantly better than my quad core i5 7500 with 16gb of ram

this shit tier windows im using can barely run any daw without finding problems once you start layering on plugins. if you disgaree with me you must not use your mac for anything bar browsing the internet

macs are objectively better pieces of equipment. I just dont have the money to own one anymore so now im forced to use multiple daws and pieces of software just to do what i could easily do on my low tier macbook pro with 0 effort all in a single daw

Are you forgetting the 16:10 screen? Go ahead, show some alternatives.

That said, shit was pretty disappointing. I'd rather have an updated 12" Macbook than an Air which is basically MBP without a touchbar but a bit thinner.

>MBP without a touch pad but a bit thinner
>implying this is bad

I actually miss my macbook so much. No daw ive found on windows will ever be as comfy as logic pro was on my macbook pro

this. it'd be perfect if it had usb c on both sides though.

I have t42 ~20 bucks.

you're missing that
i5 128gb macOS ≠ i5 128gb Linuxtechtips/wangblows"delete ur files lol"

Once 7 stops being viable I'd much rather switch to macOS over 10 or Linux, but fuck, why is their hardware so expensive and shitty?

This isn't because of hardware it's because a lot of music production software (particular ableton live) is generally programmed with OSX as the main platform with windows as an afterthought

It's fine but I don't get the hype. MPB has the weight of the old Air already. This is basically the same shit with the wedge form factor. It's nice but not something that makes me go OMG OMG I WANT DIS.

Yeah but no. 128gb is still a joke in 2018.

thin af boi

>Am I missing something
You seem to have missed apple inducting people into their cult.

Windows has superior music production software and superior hardware to support it.

>1.6 GHz dual core

How is this remotely acceptable

so basically windows isnt a serious platform then

name them

airs are made for facebook and word
so essentially 19 yo women in "college"

>doesn't know difference between m and u processors
>probably using HDD on "PC"
just stop posting

It's more than enough for whatever shit you would reasonably do on a laptop.

>Windows are just sloppy computers
Then use Linux, faggot
You can get an i5, 8gb ram and 128 ssd for like 150-200 euro buying thinkpad x230/x220

Tracktion 6

Damn the gold finish looks amazing.

Too bad arabs made gold electrics look trashy.

core2duo, 2gb ram, 80gb ide hdd enought.

wrong i have an ssd too. windows is a piece of shit. Idont even play games so this computer may as well be worthless. it cant even do basic things without finding a way to fuck up

the only thing ive seen this piece of shit do well is play games but like i said im not a gaming toddler so its irrelevant. PC is a toddler operating system

Linux is probably shit tier too. what daws do they even have?

>Buy a Macbook
>Or buy a puppy

epic post
its obviously user error, you do sound like a retard after all

nah you hit the nail on the head im still buying one though

Give it a nice matte black finish and a 25% cost cut the air would be a real nice travel laptop.

User*

t. never had a mac

people who have actually owned macs know they are superior. pc's are for toddlers. if you try do anything work or creative based on a pc you just run into problem after problem. ive worked my way through every daw on the market. studio one, ableton, reaper, cubase, even fl studio. they all run like shit and are inferior products to logic pro x

windows is a sloppy operating system and can only suffice for the most toddler tier uses. which is why gamers love these shit machines

and ill add I havnt even tried video editing on this shit machine yet

im sure it will be multiple layers of broken products and poor performance. the onion is not even peeled yet

God has spoken.

Unless you need some specific software that isn't available on MacOS, there is zero excuse to waste your time with other crap.

>HD 6000
>1440x900
>$1200 for 256GB SSD
>1.6ghz cpu
I dont know how they do it, and these tech sites are saying you can power a 5k monitor with this piece of shit, not keeping in mind that HD6000 can only power 4K (at best)
fuck this planet

i5 dual core or quad core?

The new mac minis actually look decent. might pick one up

so your argument is that the proprietary DAW for mac is better than any on windows
so not even a problem with windows
you actually might be retarded
"PC's" run the same hardware dumbass, just install OSX if you're not completely retarded you can do this
also I owned a 2013 iMac, worst purchase of my life, OSX is a steaming pile of shit

They unironically spent more time on Lana than on poor Mac mini.

You sure it's 900p? Thought it was 768p

But muh aluminum

the Apple logo costs alot

its actually 1440p, apple hasn't updated their site yet I have to scour "tech" sites
already looking like its going to be throttling just on desktop

A mac can run every daw better than windows. It just so happens that logic pro x is also the best daw on multiple levels. Windows is verging on unusable for anything music related, its a fucking joke and like i said i havnt even dug deeper for any of the other stuff i may need to use in the future

Im fully expecting to realize the same thing when i try video editing and 3d rendering. When i bought this PC i was expecting a way higher quality of life because of the superior hardware but i got the exact opposite

But at least i have skyrim porn mods now right? fuck you pc manchildren for scamming me your lies

In the music laboratory where I work there's literally only one Windows computer that runs an interface to a little recording chamber that its used sparingly.
The rest of the studio uses Macs for everything.

Why is the Air still bigger and heavier than the normal MacBook? Surely they could have just written "Air" in biro over the MacBook Retina just for common sense's sake?

>windows is shittier than mac
>hurr use lunix durr

Check apple.com, not apple.in

You are looking at the wrong model.

apple.com/uk/macbook-air/specs/

2560x1600
UHD Graphics 617
Powers 1 x 5k or 2 x 4k.

>It just so happens that logic pro x is also the best daw on multiple levels
Subjective opinion. There are multiple DAWs in professional use which aren't Logic.
>Windows is verging on unusable for anything music related, its a fucking joke and like i said i havnt even dug deeper for any of the other stuff i may need to use in the future
Recording studios would disagree with you, but you haven't dug deeper so you must be right.

>dual core i5
wait, they didn't even manage to get the u-series into these things?

It would be great without the price increase. $800 for an i3-8100 with 8GB of RAM is fucking awful.

Probably named by the same tard who thought iPhone XS Max is a good name.

you have to be larping, nobody could actually be this stupid
also the claim that "a mac" can run every daw better than "windows", is blatant mental retardation, you should get yourself checked out
also way to ignore half my post

it just came online, I checked 10 minutes ago and it was showing the old one still

It's way over the top actually. No laptop needs more than Core M.

>another year, another overpriced, throttling, overheating aluminum piece of shit

the only advantage macs have for audio are the native core audio drivers, which means, if you're in a pinch and stuck out in the field without an audio interface (and you should be fired for doing this), that you have decent latency free playback.

that's literally it.

t. professional post-prod audio engineer

because xps is shit

Yeah, you'd want the 16GB/256GB configuration. And that's overpriced as fuck too. But that's Apple.

Just ignore everyone that uses Windows. Nobody that matters uses that shit for anything. Windows is the operating system for soulless NPCs that do basic data entry and gaymers. Nothing more.

It's either OS X or Linux and Linux is objectively shit for anything that involves sound/video/image editing.

enough for webdev, softwaredev

It isn't

>8GB
>1099
FUCKING LMAO

better than plastic garbage

Rather than having numbers they should have just called iPhone X just "iPhone" and rebranded the iPhone 8 "iPhone Classic" or "iPhone SE".

It doesn't even need to have "plus" or "max" names because no Apple device previously needed a name for each screen size.

>Just ignore everyone that uses Windows.
92%

i didn't know intel made dual core i5s still

It's $4000 for 6c/64gb ram/4tb/10gbaset. The size of a small book.

Find yourself a small e-gpu chassis with a 1080 ti and you'll have the world's smallest workstation.

Pretty neat if you're a richfag.

>You can get an i5, 8gb ram and 128 ssd for like 150-200 euro buying thinkpad x230/x220

Yeah a 3rd gen i5, DDR3 ram and some slow ass old SSD. Don't fall for the memes.

I use linux and I know this faggot is talking out his ass, tech illiterates need to fuck off

Actually feeling quite let down by the Mac Mini, I was hoping it was going to have one of those Intel Core/AMD Vega chips.

Yeah, it's overpriced shit with a joke 16:9 screen for watching movies.

you're a meme

i think it's Y series or Pentium Gold. I always get confused about the branding at those tiers.

for that price you can get those intel NUC's with a full vega chip in them, better price and everything is socketed

previous air was overheating
instead of fixing it by making thicker they just downgrade it

apple 2018

>Windouze BAD
>MAC GUD
Experienced and well versed into everything OS related I see.

Not getting a Lenovo think pad p50, or heck a 7 yearold laptop , the Asus n75sf is better. Think different!

But then you'd have to run Windows or Linux which are both terrible.

Renoise, ardour, LMMS, and some other lesser known ones.

I've been diehard anti Mac my whole life and I hate windows and FL studio is available on mac now but apples hardware pricing is retarded

So get a 6 year old toaster for $100 instead

Show one that's reasonably sized with a respectable screen.

yeah they are really bad you're right, thats why everyone with a job uses them and everyone working for minimum wage uses a mac
brilliant.

>Windows is better because you have to brute force performance with parts that have their prices inflated by bitcoin miners

Either way, getting a decent computer is way too fucking pricey these days.

Shut up, larper. He's right. Linux sucks for everything that isn't software development, IT or server shit.

Do we know what CPU is actually in the Mac Mini? Something like the 8700T or i7-8750H? But the clock speeds are different...
