I wanna buy a macbook
Just for programming/internet browsing
Which one?
My budget is whatever but i would prefer on the cheaper side
Macbook
Other than wanting to suck even more cock, why buy a mac?
Buy a netbook or Chromebook.
Because i prefer macOS over linux and windows
Also they are aesthetically pleasing to look at and use
buy used thinkpad and stop taking hormones
Just get an used Thinkpad, Latitude or Elitebook and hackintosh them.
Also, anyone who thinks macbooks are better for actual usage than something like a Latitude, has never used a macbook.
cute boy
I do not recommend macbook. For just programming/internet browsing you can get a used memepad for cheap. If you like the light grey aluminum a e s t h e t i c, you can also try looking for HP elitebooks, which are also quite good and durable from what I hear.
What makes it a better choice than a mac?
Would hackintoshing these be easy to use or would i be better off just using linux?
Also, how do the displays compare to a macbook?
Macs, especially recently, have been known to have frequent hardware failures as a result of shitty design. I'm sure you've seen the headlines about the keyboards failing, and there's plenty of other issues with them as well (overheating/thermal throttling, lack of ports, etc).
If you MUST buy applel laptops, get an older one. I recommend a 2012 15-inch MPBr. One of the original retina models, and quite a solid machine in general. Mine has only recently started to have the keyboard fail after getting several years out of it.
Ideally though, you'd be better off with what other anons have said. A business laptop from Lenovo/HP/Dell. Used if you want it dirt cheap. They may not be as pretty as macs, but they'll be much better and more compatible with GNU/Linux as well.
OP here. I forgot to mention that I'm gay, not sure if that matters.
Thanks for the advice
no problem, cutie
2013/214 MacBook Air might be your best bet according to (((Rosssman)))
Get a 2015 Macbook Pro. It's the last model whose RAM and SSD can be upgraded and that has more than one kind of ports.
And post more Len.
>explodes and burns down your house
>214
wow, I didn't know the roman empire had apple products
That's not a Len.
Ill look into these!
Really dumb how you cant upgrade the newer models
>2015
>runs worse than a $200 acer
I'm an Applefag, but I'd recommend either waiting or getting something else. This is probably the worst time to buy a portable Mac, ever. The keyboards are fucked and they can't really do anything about it until the next chassis design which could be any time in the next year. The current design is also thermally constrained and the only relevant models are made extra expensive by the touch bar which is unanimously considered a gimmick. Even Apple itself seems to be dissatisfied with the current lineup.
On top of that, the combination of Intel's stagnation, Apple's own processors outperforming Intel chips and Apple's decision to make macOS and iOS closer (and requiring bitcode submissions in the App Store) means that it's basically confirmed that macOS is switching architectures and that future Macs will ship with ARM processors, so buying one now is basically buying outdated technology.
I'd personally recommend an iPad Pro, but you'd have to be sure that it fits your workflow. If an iPad fits you and interests you then I'd suggest paying attention to the WWDC keynote on Monday where Apple will show off a bunch of new pro iPad features coming in iOS 13.
>they installed windows on it
for what purpose?
Because macos is a joke and has no software.
Even though I hate this current gen of apple laptops, I may consider them if they go ARM, and Install Gentoo on one.
>Get a 2015 Macbook Pro. It's the last model whose RAM and SSD can be upgraded and that has more than one kind of ports.
A year ago, I'd be saying this too, but the last two hardware refreshes have made the difference in performance too great to ignore. If performance is important to you, it might be worth it to get a recent model and live with the tradeoffs.
>and Install Gentoo on one.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
It has plenty enough for most people.
In fact, that's actually the reason why I still keep one around. I'm normally a loonix user, but need some proprietary programs that aren't GNU/Linux native and I don't trust Wine to run them properly. Macs let me have these things, while still being a Unix system so I can still have my comfy terminal autism as usual.
>mac mini only
still, ouch. Hopefully that (((feature))) doesn't come to the ARM macs. If it does, I'll be sure to steer clear.
I have a 2010 13" MBP and I'm very satisfied
It's literally all macshit with the T2 chip, which means all macshit after 2016 and forever. iKikes are literally violating UEFI standards that allows user control of the bootloader, you honestly think they're going to let you boot anything besides fagOS once they go ARMshit and have zero restrictions on how hard they can lock it down? Just look at iToys.
Everyone hates the current MacBooks. People who think Apple users just blindly love everything they put out has never spoken to real users. It's heavily implied (although they obviously won't directly state it for many reasons) by both Apple spokespeople and employees that the newest MBP generation is considered a failure within the company. It was designed in a time period where the Mac was largely neglected internally in favour of the iPhone (and iPad) and iOS, but that recent restructuring has given the hardware teams a renewed focus on the Mac. This is probably connected to them changing their view of macOS from a legacy platform to something that can live alongside iOS and share code like we've been seeing with Marzipan.
It's a setting you fucking idiots. How many times will you niggers claim Mac users are retarded, yet somehow can't uncheck a single box in settings? Top tier security for the millions who will never boot anything other than macOS and a single setting to change if you want to boot something else, literally who does this harm?
OP here: I'm a permanent registered sex offender who got caught with a little boy btw. Should have probably mentioned that first, hope my PO doesn't find out.
what the fuck is wrong with you OP? I would have necked myself already desu.
It's ok as long as you post more Len. Other cute boys are fine too.
