Laptop Recommendations ?

More than enough resources for me (running Linux Mint and typing plain text code doesn't take much), nice thin & light design, large screen, they're fairly cheap @ say anywhere from $900 - $1300 and you have a nice Dell laptop, plus at home customer support is top-notch. Even in Thailand, takes less than 24 hours to have a new mother board in the computer free of charge, plus they come to your house to do it.

I read this thinking you were being sarcastic and I though "Your sardonic wit is fucking hilarious"...







Then I realized you were being serious.
 


As a Windows person it pains me to say this but get a Mac - and have a VPS with windows and/or Parallels.

That way you can do virtually anything (except Gaming, but that's slowly changing).
 
ASUS laptops FTW. Everything Mac has to offer and you don't look like a pretentious homo. Lowest RMA rates in the industry too.

I have an ASUS 13" i5 with 8gb ram and a long life battery that can handle anything I throw at it. Edited video at a tradeshow in London for more than 4 hours on a single charge. Newer models are offering screens that rival or exceed "Retina" resolution.
 
I like that this is the first thing you mention about a laptop in true macfag fashion.

I appreciate beauty, if that makes me a MacFag so be it. Airs are beautiful, lightweight machines which are a pleasure to use. Windows laptops usually are plasticky and don't have as good screens, same for Windows desktops compared to iMacs. Plus windows machines have Windows 8 which is the biggest homo gaylord shit I have ever seen. I'd rather be a MacFag than a Homo Gaylord!:love-smiley-083:
 
WTF is a "Windows machine"?

I'm sporting a 15.6" HD display with Radeon graphics card, baby! No idea if that's good, but works for me! Oh, and I hate Windows. Couldn't imagine using it again. I hate Mac about as much as I hate Windows though, so go figure.

You know what I love the most though? Mac fags who complain Google has too much control over the internet. Always sends me into a giggling frenzy. :)
 
I have no knowledge of computers which is why I choose a Mac. I just know they look and feel better than Windows devices I have used. I am sure there are some excellent other devices out there, but I am happy to be a Mac Fag.

ps. I believe Apple is a terrible evil company which is causing massive amounts of harm to people by hoarding their cash. They have more cash than the US government yet they do only tiny charitable things. Plus they screw over their customers in many ways like charging $100 to upgrade 32 GB of storage which probably cost them $1.
 
Please explain. I don't get it.

Maybe I'm wrong, because I don't buy Macs. But if you buy a Mac, you're stuck with OSx, correct? Which means you're basically stuck with whatever Apple gives you, correct?

So to me, loving Apple, but complaining about Google's data collection and their "do no evil" slogan is a bit hypocritical, don't you think?

Just because they're better at marketing doesn't make their intentions less evil. Actually, it's probably the other way around.

You can install Windows and Linux on a macbook too. Most of their users won't though, but they do have the choice available to them. There's a ton of open source software that has binaries for both Windows and Mac too. You're not limited to the Apple store for your software.

Glad PCs are starting to catch up at last. I see you're now starting to get gestures and people are literally going solo-bukkake on their laptops about something we've had for kind of a very long time. ;) But yeah, we're fags with faggy retarded shit - and no jealousy. :pimp:

As bluechinagroup said, you can run any OS on a Mac. And also the software isn't really limited in anyway, so again, no different than a self-build that cost a quarter of my mac and has 15 fans, a strobe light and has all the support of the third world.

Although I get where you're coming from, but seeing as 90% of Mac-haters have never touched a Mac I just wanted to see what the latest myths were. :)

(We have right click by the way!)

Well I had a 1994 Macintosh and it sucked. So,

But then why I would spend an extra $1500 on a Mac, if I'm going to install Windows or Linux on it? Isn't the whole point of spending that extra $1500 so I can run OSx, and call myself a mac fag?

Same with iPhones. Why spend $700 on a phone, when you can get the same thing for $300? Oh, because Apple kicks ass at marketing. That's why.

I mean, you guys preaching about quality is retarded. You do realize that my Dell was manufactured probably 80m away, in the next building over, from where your MacBook was manufactured, right? Same slave labor complex in China, just different buildings.
 
Ok, I'll bite, because it's fuck all to do with marketing and quality is off the fucking scale on a MBP.

They're built like nothing else on the market. Seriously, there's nothing built like that. Lenovo's used to be, but all the ones I felt of late suck donkey dick.

A Mac is alloy. Not an alloy lid with plasticky bits everywhere, the whole fucking body is alloy. Apparently machined from one piece. It's as strong as a tank, looks fucking lovely, feels nice and is silent.

It has an unmatched glass trackpad that's smooth as fuck and has about 20 gestures using up to 5 fingers.

Now obviously you're talking about it without OSX, so you immediately remove a major positive for me, which would be the ease of the computing experience and the operating system, being an OPERATING system, and getting the fuck out the way.

I buy it. I get it out of the box. I turn it on. I use it. That is what I want. I don't want to fuck about with settings. I want to work and I want a computer to help me do what I want to do, not get in my fucking way and piss me off.

Value shouldn't come into it. How many hours a day do you use a computer? Work out the cost. I spend more on coffee in a week than I spend on my Mac over 3-4 years, and I spend more time on my computer than I do drinking coffee. A working and stress free computing experience should not be underestimated.

Also, a Mac holds it's value. Other faggyfags want them. My last Mac was sold for £400 less than I paid for it, a little over 3 years later. My first Mac was sold after a year for a £200 loss.

And most of all makes me feel superior and show my faggotry, especially when people tell me why it's shit/retarded/overpriced/gay/shiny without a clue about what my computer does, how the OS works, how long it will last or how well it's built. But yeah, made just down the road, must be the same...

Now look what you've made me go and do. I'll have Windows fans getting angry and jealous again. Where's The 'Cakes when you need him? :D
 
Fuck Apple. They lost their last shred of credibility on the last iphone when the dropped the 32gb and offer a 16 or 64gb option. They love to build their products with a couple new parts and stuff the oldest technology they can get away with for the rest. All the while charging hundreds more for basic upgrades. Just spent the last hour going through options for a new Mac. Cpu, ram, and hard drive upgrades fucking enraged me. They really fuck you for these upgrades which for the money should be standard options 4 years ago. Fuck em. I'm done with them

I boot to Linux more often than Windows so maybe I'm jaded, but when exactly was Windows anything other than easy peasy? Can't remember the last time that shit didn't "just work" as my Macfag friends love to say.

I get it, they're pretty and shiny like earrings so if aesthetics are that important then so be it. But to say "it just works" is just odd to me. That's what most computers do.

Nailed it.
