@Deleted User I got a student discount

macos is unix

@Deleted User used to be. these days they are full of solder and glue to be honest

@Deleted User mac in pic is mine

they were remotedly repairable once

neetlux is unix like

@fedora yeah but why can normies use one but not the other

back when unibodys came along (oh the heat problems)

@transience yea mac do gives those discounts. Also @Tervy if something goes bad you are fucked

@transience >hoarding garbage

Also XPS > Cuckbook

>muh touchbar

Such is the life of a working class dragon in london

> @Nayme not buying a latitude laptop

Sad!

Applefags deserve to be piled up and shot

Latitude is top tier as well tbh

Hoarding = autism = 4chan
I don't see a problem there

If we are going to consider build quality in this equation, the XPS is not much better than Mac in terms of build quality

@Nayme agreed if you dont want to buy a chinkpad

coil whine was a widespread problem with the XPS 13

@Tervy I mean its still repairable, just a lot harder

I was considering one at one point

Enjoy swapping your outdated CPU

<:iosthink:328535776843268105>

I'd prefer a latitude or XPS with similar specs over any modern thinkpad tbh

I see the xps series as windows 10 macbook version

@transience >tfw faint reee of a wonky charger

@johnfrum#8811 i dont consider anything repairable if you cant even switch simple ram without switching whole motherboard out

@Jake

@transience How many times have you sent your cuckbook to mac support

@Nayme zero

How hot are your legs right now?

<:tipsfedora:383326576609329162>

I thought you was my boi

chinkpads after the debacle of installing malware i rather avoid

also the overheating and thottling memes were simply just that

memes

@Tervy >not learning soldering skills

Sad!

They were not memes, I have first hand experience kek

@Tervy Microscope and microsolder stations

-joking

But everything is a chinkpad today...

The throttle meme is entirely true

tbh the fact that you have to desolder it sucks

@Nayme which generation

2013/2014

@Deleted User soldering SMD-RAM ?

:D

<:benis:239668961011040257>

i wish i had the machines and the time

heatgun and have a go at it

":D"

2013/2014 were are notorious for quality issues, as were the 2011 models

i rather get a latitude

>time
You could stop shitposting here

i have a hp envy right now and its working so no need to change until it hits the crapper

Yes, but this is the same company that makes mistake after mistake in producing a product which is now merely a status symbol

2012 and 2015 models seem to have withstood the test of time

It's the new HD TV for poorfags

All laptops are like that these days, like they are in an arms race with pajeet repair shops

there are just as many ThinkPads with retarded design decisions

@johnfrum#8811 kekd

this is by no means exclusive to apple

its funny how everyt macbook since introduction of unibody

has had heat problems

Makes you think

i think they took the meme srs of using aluminium as a heatsink

@johnfrum#8811 10/10

it seems like apple is back in their retard cycle though, as evident by the iphone x

and while the mac does have fans, dur hur lets not use it until it hits 100C

^ "but the noise"

thanks god i had fancontrol back then

but yeah their fans didnt usualy even work due the 100*C melted them stuck at worst cases

>implying thermal loads are not a thing and thermal expansion will fuck your shit after x number of cycles

and due they didnt spin = all the dust blocked it anyway

be nice

i will ban u

@transience they never left it tbh.
Their sole excuse of existence is to keep OSX running and milk some idiots on the side..

the fans only ever spin up on the 2017 mbp when I'm compiling and it doesn't even get hot otherwise

@Tervy tbh is like who programmed the macs thermal managements are literally retards... maybe they are not and its a ploy to induce failure

kek!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

too late for edit I saw that

their next "stunt" anyway is to say its "free" OS and share it

(only to mac users)

Wouldnt suprise me. Even if it wasnt the intent they probably just went to the minimum standards for lifespan and didnt test beyond that

but its free os for mac users already

probably

how do u think im running this

my current laptop will probably die when it becomes too slow

Overall a really awful company that fucks over it's loyal followers over and over, to the point where buying any of their products is pretty retarded

@Sdeck37 the prices are retarded but I do get a discount, so I'm not paying anymore than I would for a top of the range thinkpad or xps

otherwise i aint changing it

I wouldn't have bought a mbp if I was paying full price

but they are decent machines for what I paid

I have a friend that have a rayzer and he wants to change it already because muh gaymes, when the one he has works perfectly

he unironically bought a rayzer phone
