I've owned half a dozen windows laptops from dell, gateway, alienware, lenovo - all top end machines and they always end up junk in two years. The seams are weak, a component fails, the battery dies, and they all end up in the gutter. I've had a Macbook for a while and you can really tell the difference. Nothing is lose and everything still works. You can also bootcamp to windows 7 or 10 and run windows native (not through a vm). 90% of the time using my macbook I am on windows running p99.

Macs are as susceptible to slowdown as PCs though, plus with macs you generally have a hard time playing a lot of the latest games right?

Agree on the "junk in two years" thing though, my latest PC was a mid spec buy from a small company on eBay, had it 1 year and it's been fine. It was about $550-600. If $600 gets me a good 2-3 years I still think of it as a good investment. The only game it's ever locked up on was actually when it was still new, it didn't like Planetside 2 at all but according to the internet it's not optimized very well anyway :/

Swish still hating on Mac because he is too broke to afford nice things. Spend less time on forums, more time working on that bank account amigo.

*Predictable and nearly immediate response incoming*

Wrong, and wrong.

You don't know what you are taking about, but, being the village idiot, you continue to TryHard. It isn't just marketing that has put Apple where they are. But you have no experience using their products, just hearsay and like a monkey you repeat what you heard someone else say.

as an artist and someone who has bought and returned nearly every wacom cintiq they've made I am looking forward to this new "pencil" and welcome our fruit and vegetable overlords.

I cant imagine drawing on a tablet with a stylus would be nearly as rewarding as painting or drawing with actual medium, but what do I know i cant draw or paint for shit.

every game you play is made with a wacome tablet or a cintiq and zero canvas art.

Unless youre playing some extremely indi game made by some wierdo in thier country home out in michagen or something.

its all like this now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIxyFlq1Ou0

That said, Ive worked next to guys working on VR and they are sitting there at thier desks with headsets on.. and THAT is the future of digital production.. no more physical monitors, just one headset and a VR world of like 20 monitors taht can be any size and fully 3 dimensional

I cant wait omg

*edit* oh hey side note! Some friends of mine made this! IT started in thier bedroom as an idea.. I dont think it will be production ready or that this perticular application is the future of how VR will be used for digital production, but its still cool none the less! its a start. https://vimeo.com/138790270

Valid points. And LOL at that "HD touch", no wonder apple called it "3D touch". Glad they innovated that pencil and screen!

This buying the brand shit is nonsense. You guys obviously have not held a macbook.. its in another league than all other laptops.

Some computer nerds think that the only thing that matters is whats inside the computer. But if they realized that some people prefer to pay for other shit, like how something feels physically or looks, then they might understand.

I am by no means an apple cult follower but if you are going to sit there and say that apple products 'suck' then you are just a non-apple cult follower..

I tried a non iPhone once before, and that was stupid. I was like cool I want to play some sweet games.. oh there are just a little bit over, "none".. so I got an iphone and have a fine piece of technology that makes no fucking difference to me comparatively to all other smart phones, except i think its physical design is much cleaner and worth whatever extra I might have to pay AND i have access to like thousands of great time wasting games.

that and it lasts as long as my contract does every time, and I upgrade to a new one every 2 years when thev'ye made significant changes and I get one for 100$.

If i were to say the average apple hater vs the average apple lover all had something in common with each other is, apple lovers are normal people and apple haters are fedora wearing contrarians that think theyre smarter than everyone YIKES if Random is on your side, time to jump ship!

Basically its a product. Its got some clear value to it that other products don't have. You are not simply buying a brand.

The only reason not to go apple is either A becuse you want to encrouage compeition, or B becuse you are a hardware tinkerer and you need an open source OS to create your own wierd glitchy phone customised something or other tricorder homebrew thing.

Sorry but the brand thing is just non-apple cult fanaticism.
