MacBook Air or MacBook Pro

[LANTIRN]

Holy mother of fuck. The non-mac laptop I could buy starting at $899 would punch the ever loving fucking dick of the Air into the dirt. What the fuck is wrong with people?

Because Apple. My wife is the same damned way. It is cool to have apple products, because apple.

I had a 2k Sony SSD nvidia all bells and whistles beats the shit out of Mac and sold it and got a nexus 10 tablet in 20012. I still have the same tablet and use it way more than I ever did my Sony.

There kind of isn't a wrong decision there. For what you're using it for, the Air is solid. I use one every day for work and love it.



We'll go ahead and add that one to the list:

[x] hates Macs

Edit: might as well put the whole list here too:

[x] hates Star Wars
[x] hates working on cars
[x] hates red accents on cars

haha, Thanks for that. Needed a laugh this morning. Don't forget watching sports!

I don't hate macs, it's just that he's spending a shit load of money on something a $300 PC laptop from best buy would more than handle.

I've had a Macbook Pro since 09 and it has been a great computer, charging port is a little wore out, but other than that it still works good. I will say after getting an Ipad last year I probably only use the macbook a couple times a week.

It's not the hardware in most cases, it's the OS. OSX is a better platform, consistent.
Anyone that says their Windows based PC is better than a Mac has never used a Mac. I work in a Windows environment all day long, all my home devices are Apple. No comparison....

Take that back. I do have a Slate, still a dog slow turd.

Good luck getting long term support and warranty help the way Apple does with their products. You get what you pay for.

On the tablet note, I don't like tablets for doing anything more than very basic bullshit, if you want a mac, i'd get a cheap macbook air considering your use case, you get a very nice keyboard and trackpad so you can actually be productive. The surface pro 3 is also very nice, I also like the new yoga, if you want osx, get the air, I need to play with win10 but win8 was fucking awful, thank you apple for having a real desktop OS still.

i've learned that not being a retard about a pc purchase and how to use it usually extends the life of one to a very high level. I guess you do pay more for idiot proofing.

Hold on, let me go jump in my fucking time machine that shows me all deals beyond major name brand items on one fucking page.

Anyone that says their Windows based PC is better than a Mac has never used a Mac.d.

False.
My windows based PC is a better product for my environments, and suits my needs at a fraction of the cost. Yes, I have worked with macs. I've worked with them within their mac os, and with people who wanted me to use bootcamp to make their mac more suitable for their work environment.


$900 on a fucking Air is retarded.

You can all lie to yourself about it being a "better deal" or "solid quality product", but that's just personal preference as well.

[BLAKE]

So much anger.

[CexMashean]

So much anger.

You got a fucking problem with it?

[BLAKE]

You got a fucking problem with it?

LMAO, naw man. Have fun with it.


Microsoft does suck though, so there's that.

$900 on an Air and in a few years you may lose a couple of hundred.
$900 on a Windows based machine and few in a few years you may be able to get a couple of hundred.


They each have their place. Reliability, consistency, and function for me OSX wins all day long. In most workplaces it will never replace Windows.

Explain how that is going to prevent a manufacturer defect? I did just that and my pc's laptop hard drive began to act up and it finally died.

That's what so great about Apple, if something goes wrong with your device within the one year warranty period, stop by the Apple store and they'll either fix it or replace it. If you want additional coverage, you can get Apple Care Plus.

That's why you don't buy your iPad at the Apple store. They go on sale at brick and mortar stores all the time. I lucked out and got my iPad Air 2 64gb for $430 new at Staples.

No Android or Windows device that I've ever owned has come close to any of my Apple products in terms of quality. They aren't even in the same universe when it comes to tech support and warranty.
