Why would I need to sell it when I still have money left over?



I don't want a home made computer, or to do it myself.

I like the design and thought that goes into apples aluminum laptops, how sturdy they feel, how thin they are. I like the operating system and I like using logic x to make music. So no, I wouldn't really care for your home built version, though it's definitely cool that you can do that. It's worth the extra money to me, easily.

The fact you can resell outdated technology for a good price is nothing more than proof that people pay stupid prices simply for the logo. This is not a good argument for why Apple products are "good". It's the exact opposite.

Apple's products are no more cutting edge than their PC counterparts. This means that when the technology in the PC version is eclipsed and is valued at near worthless, Apple's version should be as well. However this is not the case. And it's all because of the logo and status symbol attached.

I have always had Windows PCs, and guess what? I leave mine on 24/7 too. No reinstalling anything or restarting and no more maintenance than one would need to perform on Apple's products. Face it, you're paying a premium for a name and nothing more.

In my built rig, I've never once had the Blue Screen of death, has your Mac ever gotten the black screen with the power button in it?

Not even just hating on macs, but all prebuilt computers do that shit, the BsOD or whatever the Mac equivalent is, it always happens on prebuilts. Mac's are completely over priced which we can agree on, If you want to buy a prebuilt computer that doesn't suck dick buy an origin.

If you can't / don't want to build your own computer and have no idea how it works you can't talk about why it's better.

You wouldn't teach a racecar driver how to drive because you rode in the back of a taxi one time.

That's what it feels like you're doing.

Also you don't have to tinker with it, you just have to not install shitty bloatware and not click on shitty retard links like Zynga and what not.

As long as you're not a complete dumbshit a regular vanilla install of windows will almost never crash.

Prebuilt rigs crash because they're soaked in bloatware.

Do you ever have any real hardware issues with PC, or is it all PEBKAC?

Dude, I'm just saying why they work for me and I love them, and you are telling me I'm wrong and that it's a piece of shit. I really don't care what you use your computer for. When you start recording music get back to me. The macbook works great. I didn't even try to say it was better, I said it was better for me.

Have been using a 2013 macbook air for the past two years, a 2011 macbook pro for two years before that, and a 2009 plastic white macbook before that.

I love the macbook air. If there was any 'bugginess' to the first two, it's gone with this one. The solid state drive is super fast, everything is. I turn it on and it's ready to go in 15 seconds. It never hesitates. I record audio on it, monitoring with effects in real time and at low latency, and it does great. I'll keep buying macbook airs as long as they make them and I need a laptop. Physically it's super sturdy and super light/thin and I can throw it around to some degree, and not worry about anything breaking. The newer thinner macbook pros look sweet as well, and are probably a lot faster. But this base model 13" macbook air is a powerful machine for basically being apple's 'budget' model

If anything, there are a few quirks in the way that finder works in osx, compared to explorer in windows, that bug me. But overall I feel it's a much cleaner and more productive experience, and it works great for what I do, which is make music. It also handles everything else I throw at it, and there are rarely technical issues that need to be worked out. It just works, well. I definitely prefer the osx experience to windows, though I'm very familiar with both. What's funny, is I don't have an iphone, but only because I feel they're way overpriced.

My memories of using windows computers, it was always restarting, installing, all of these maintenance things. With this thing I literally leave it on 100% of the time. The battery lasts 12+ hours, no exaggeration. When it gets low I plug it in, when I close it it goes to sleep, its seamless. When I open it it springs to life instantly and there is no delay. its just continually ready to go. I'm sure windows has improved, and I know it has, because I use it at work daily... but at the same time, there are still more issues to deal with, more dialog boxes and more glitches and restarts and other little shit to get in the way of whatever job is to be done. Apple has its own set of quirks and glitches and its not perfect either, but overall its much better. In my opinion, of course.

Oh, and the best part, is the resale value. I sold the plastic white macbook for 700 bucks, Put that towards the pro, which is still worth 500 or maybe 600 if I push it today (still own it)

Try selling your four year old dell for 600 dollars :lol:




No offense but go suck Tim Cook's cock. Your gay little macbooks. The finder has some very annoying bugs, and the way the click works on osx is fucking annoying. Try clicking on the same exact spot more than once without moving your mouse. Osx won't let you click on one spot more than once without moving the mouse a little bit. The most annoying fucking thing in the world.

I can care less about resale value for a dell laptop. My laptop has a first generation i7 and it's still more powerful than the shitty i5 CURRENT macbooks. I basically traded in my old macbook for hardware that is way faster than the current macbooks.

Windows 8.1 doesn't have the problems that everything prior to windows 7 had. Get a clue.

Macs are fucking computers for little children. They are computers with training wheels. If I made more money I'd sell the imac right now and build myself a REAL tower beast pc with an octa core and 16gb of the fastest ram on the market right now.

The reason most people have problems with windows is because they don't reformat it and install a fresh RETAIL version of windows. Most people are running the shitty oem operating system with all that manufacturer bloat on it.

They work for you and you love them by all means, someones got to own a minivan to get the kids to school.

But when you feel like buying a racecar,
Since you won't build one, get an Origin, which by the way, was founded by the members of Alienware, dell bought alien ware and turned it into the Windows version of Macs, (over priced, lower quality, shit tier, you're paying for a shitty product with the alien ware logo on it.)

Anyways, those employees of alien ware, left after dell bought it, and started up Origin PC's.
http://www.originpc.com/

They're the best prebuilts on the market in my opinion

That's way better than my minivan racecar metaphor.

It's literally so simple they don't think people are intelligent enough to have two buttons on the mice, that'd be an overload for mac users.

Mac users like simple because their brains are simple.

You know any professional mixers in the industry who mix on macs?

Ever been to a real recording studio? They use PC. The only people who use Macs are people who think they're musicians working as a waiter, or a barista.

I could never work IT.. Just in general talking to people about their computers ends up making my eye twitch. I never thought my knowledge of them was anything special but apparently it is. Actually based on all the conversations I've had with people I'm a goddamn genius when it comes to them.. I'll tell you right now I don't know shit. I can build a computer, I can fix problems through Google, but it's all extremely basic stuff. The amount of people out there who seem to know exactly fuck all about them is astounding. I've had people tell me they don't need to clean out the case because theirs has fans (in a fashion that signifies they seem to think this is some special feature) that blow out the dust for them. :facepalm:




I'm the same exact way. I've been dicking around on computers since I was like 10 im 24 now. Most of your problems you can fix by a quick Google search. Anything more advanced I dunno I don't work in it. But I know how to keep a computer relatively clean and not running like shit as you gunked it up.

Its why I literally let nobody use my computers. Well the dumbest thing is they just don't know how to Internet. Get a ton of those toolbars and useless garbage clicking dumb shit.

Macs have TONS of bloat on them!! All those unneccessary launchdaemons running in the background, bloated NOTIFICATION CENTER that you have to hack in order to get rid of. Shitty slow animations that you have to perform terminal commands to get rid of. OSX is a computer for little kids.

You're retarded

Garageband isn't bloatware

It's not bloatware if you use it

How many times do I have to say I use these computers to record music????

Logic X is my DAW of choice. Garageband is like Logic light. I think it's awesome that it comes installed on the computer. it's like they're made for me. How is that bloatware??? :rolleyes:




SWEETIE....let me explain this to you: If you are using garageband or iPhoto to edit your audio and photos, you are NOT a professional!!! GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!! LOLOLOL!!!

All those dumbed down children's programd for editing like garageband, iphoto and imovie, are for people who THINK they are professionals!!

Oh my god, oc bottom boi, did you not see where I said I use logic x, you dumb fuck? I don't use garageband at all. But I don't consider it bloatware. I think it's an awesome program to have preinstalled on a computer, for anybody who actually plays an instrument, unlike you sterile unimaginative fucks.

Jesus christ dude. and you're calling my computer gay? You just called me 'SWEETIE'

You can barely do anything with garage band. It's so simple and dumbed down it's literally for children. Replace garageband with "audacity."

Also I like how he said good luck selling your pc for 300 dollars.

I build rigs for money on craigslist.

I'll build a 500 dollar rig and sell it for 700 and they'll think they got a deal.

Lets see you do that with a mac, since you wanna talk money.

LMAO it's not bloatware if you use it? Yes it is. Mcafee is automatically used on ops shit level dell.

He uses it ( im assuming, i'd hope not ) that still makes it bloat wear.

You should stop melting and flaming before I report you.
