Pyrocide Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Feel free to find an ultrabook with a PCIe ssd, 1440p or higher resolution, excellent battery life (7-9 hours--15 vs 13"), an excellent keyboard and trackpad, and a strong yet light/small design for less than the price of a mac. Chrome Pixel? Why has no one mentioned Hackintosh? Go buy a "insert personal choice gaming laptop" put OSX on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Radiated Banana Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 People that use Windows as it was the first system they used > hate Mac People that use Mac as it was the first system they used > hates Windows That's kind of how the majority I know choose their preference for computer systems. I dont hate windows or mac or linux. I think each OS has their perks. (ive used all three before) they cant buy it. that's why Thats a horrible thing to say, making fun of people's income is not a joking matter, ever.

Have fun. ^this When i cashed out one of my cs:go alts earlier this year i got a macbook pro and it's been pretty awesome the only issue i had with it was not being able to run aspen or some of the other programs which are windows only, boot camped it, problem solved (I.e. have Windows 7 installed as dual boot) Apple is probably the only company to buy from when it comes to laptops/ultrabooks, decent specs, decent price, great built quality and unchallenged customer service (It dies get it replaced on the spot) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinStarRune Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 For me it's the mouse. The scroll wheel is garbage and it's really finicky on how you left/right click. The design on some of it is not really intuitive (like the task bar at the top needing to be on the desktop if you want to browse etc. For me it's not really a gaming computer. Not really a work computer. More like something you use at the library to write a paper or something. On the topic of Macs, they should bring back the cube-shaped ones from the late 90s/ early 2000s. Those were awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About the cube shaped ones, mac minis are pretty similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrocide Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 The magic mouse is fucking awful for those used to traditional LB RB mouse. I can't stand using it. Hence why I use a logitech mouse on mac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Explosion-chan Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 1. Overpriced 2. Branded (could be along with number one) 3. Offers nothing a normal custom build can't do 4. OS is fairly closed 5.

OS is fairly closed 5. Fewer games 6. Less customization 7. You can use OS X on PC if you're skilled enough. 1. Find me something comparable for less. 2. Oh, right, because no other company brands their products...Dell/Hp commercials don't exist, they don't put their logo on their products...HTC/Samsung, same thing...no logos, no advertisements... Intel/AMD also no logo and no advertisements (well, AMD doesn't have many advertisements, but thats besides the point). 3. Really? You can build an ultrabook, thats pretty amazing. 5. Lol, any customization you can do on windows you an do on a mac. 7. You can use windows on a mac. Also, you can only use OS X on a pc if your hardware supports it -- getting OS X to run on an AMD CPU is a bitch, and unless you're using Mavericks you can't use an AMD graphics card, and you're also severely limited to what motherboard you use, lots of hardware is simply not compatible with Hackintosh.

Custom build with slightly better specs< Mac 2. I dislike them for the same reason? I'm using a custom PC, this doens't apply to me 3. You can with skill and parts 5. Completely untrue, really no other way I can counter that because it's so false 7. Refer to number 1 EDIT: I was wrong about 3, but you can build something that's comparable.

Not a laptop, or a slim form factor all-in-on pc. 2. Really? So what....you're running an ARM processor? That sounds powerful.... 3. Yeah, if you have a machine to cut/form a plastic/metal shell, and then have the ability to create your own custom motherboard....Get fucking real. 5. So tell me, what can you customize on windows that you can't customize on OSX? 7. Yes, Refer to number 1. Get your head out of your ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
