>Buy macbook
>install windows
>its windows laptop now

Such a horrible keyboard hasn't been invented for Windows laptops yet.

because they are cheap.
the most expensive Microsoft machines like that desktop surface are similar build quality

Because it's surprisingly hard to make keyboards that fail so reliably.

>because they are cheap.
There are plenty of laptops that cost just as much or more with worse build quality, Dell XPS, Surface Book or Surface Laptop, Razor Blade Stealth, Zenbook, etc.

Dell XPS and Surface have good build quality though.

My Surface Pro 6 has a pretty good build quality so far.

>Why can't Ford pickups have a similar build quality to Ferraris?

Not them but the XPS is a QC nightmare.
I'm having to return my brand new 7590.

Because Ford pickups are for people that do work with their cars and have to rely on them.

Typical Ferrari driver can afford his boytoy breaking every few months and to shell out of the ass for repairs and maintenance. It's not economically feasible for the Ford pickup user.

So yes, actually, a good analogy. Macbooks are a status symbol for the gay hipster crowd, while real work gets done on real computers.

t. tech support for a security firm that issues MacBooks or ThinkPads on user request. Guess who asks for Macbooks (hint: not the actual engineers).

But for realz tho, does a full aluminum body windows laptop exist?

huawei matebooks are aluminum

You mean how it can slice a bread

Quite a few of them, actually. HP Spectre/Z series, Huawei Matebook, even Xiaomi has a series of actually useful non-macbook-clones.

>Windows laptops
US is a strange place indeed.

Apple puts their money into quality design, whereas other companies put their money into botnets, advertising, etc.

Apple builds one system=hardware+software.
Microsoft builds an OS.
Hardware companies build laptops.
You can bu those laptops with Windows already installed on them, but they have nothing to do with each other. In some places they are marketed as "Microsoft laptops" (see my previous post).
In most countries you just buy a Dell, Asus etc. laptop. The vendor can sell it with any OS preinstalled and it's usually your choice.

>require a mac to develop mac or ios software
>need to update apple tools and xcode all the time or it'll stop working
>will stop working anyway once they decide your apple pc is too old
>not allowed to run osx in a sandbox on a normal pc

Fuck this cancerous company.

I was thinking about getting on of these with the oled screen. What's wrong with yours?

>wanting aluminum over magnesium

and no water protection inside so one drop can fry your cpu

T2 chip is dead from factory = water damage says genious bar slave

But they can

lol why would you do such a thing

Why would anyone do that? The build quality is shit, have you missed that?

Didn't read but have a (You) for the effort

>>OSX is a steaming pile of shit with horrendous battery management

Compared to?

Which part of a macbook has build quality? You look at it wrong and it will dent and scratch. Go into 60% humidity room it'll fry.

Plastics and composites are far superior to fucking aluminum.

There's some smaller things but the biggest problems are the defective keyboard (squeaking, uneven, keys not registering unless you hit them right in the middle) and a horrendous WiFi with slower speeds than my X220 and can't handle Bluetooth at the same time. Coil whine is also insane.
Screen is nice though, but fuck this on a $2000 machine.

First bump the price of the laptop pc, to whatever, can be anything by now? 2000 bucks no props like steve jobs vroom vroom vroom

XPS is complete dogshit. Who ever is running quality assurance there should be executed by crushing.
