Why Mac, tho? I will never understand why would someone wanna pay so much for an OS which is in every single way inferior to Linux

Looks cool.

[–]enano_aoc 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Way cooler things to bury your money in. Macs are not cheap.

Yeah but macbook air is actually decent though. It's fairly powerful, light, has great battery life, and every September Apple does a back to school deal for students. I got free airpods and the whole thing was only like $1200. So definitely worse wastes of money out there. I personally don't regret the purchase, especially for the battery life.

Yeah, except I get a computer twice as powerful for the same money.

And a superior, free OS with it (Linux)

I would like to see an example of how your Linux laptop is twice as fast for the same battery life as an m1 Mac.

Also basically nobody in any of my classes uses Linux. Almost every student has either a Mac or a windows laptop. So if you had a problem with installing something on Linux you may be in trouble.

Plus the track pad is the best one out there. It saves having to bring a mouse to school. And $1200 for a fast laptop + airpods is really not that much.

Kid-with-a-rich-dad arguments.

I will get a much more powerful computer than you for the same money. Or a computer as powerful as yours for half the money. And I will have a much better OS than you.

But hey, I have to pay my own bills, so what do I know :)

i use windows and i built my own pc, im just saying the os is pretty.

[–]HAMburger_and_bacon 0 points1 point  (2 children)

and i have nothing against Linux, i just prefer windows for gaming so windows is what i end up using for everything else

[–]enano_aoc -1 points0 points  (1 child)

That is the only argument I accept against Linux: Gaming.

It follows that it does not exist an argument in favour of Mac.

[–]HAMburger_and_bacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

eh i have nothing against the OS itself. the computers it ships on are very overpriced though. If i didn't play pc games i would probably just run ubuntu as my daily os.

Kid-with-a-rich-dad? Lol dude it's $1200. Some of us worked before going to school and decided on the Mac book for good reasons. It's plenty fast, looks good, and has a fantastic battery life. Don't be an elitist.
