What keeps me from buying a MacBook . .

[Mac Casper]

I've been wanting to have a MacBook for awhile but the thing that keeps me from getting it is the thought that I'm going to get one and then 2 months later I see that Tim Cook guy take the stage somewhere on some "We just changed everything!" and then they come out with some super new radically improved version of the laptop I just got. Some like touchscreen hybrid or something, then I'm stuck with the old model that I just plunked 2 G's down on

The Macbooks don't change radically like that annually. My 2010 model held up for a while until the battery gave out. I just decided to cop a Retina one last year because I could. Upgrades are the same with any tech. If you care about when the latest and greatest is out, you'll be waiting forever.

Their products are so expensive that the older models will still have value. That really shouldn't stop you from getting a macbook. There are some pretty big reasons why you wouldn't want to get a macbook...OSX is ...meh.

It's the same with every technology
You get a new phone regardless if it's iOS or android and a more powerful phone come outs a few months later.

The new MacBooks have nothing compelling about them than the the Air or Retina. It's processor is pretty gimped also.

Macbook specs = 1,000
Macbook name = 1,000 +

suckas and their thirst for luxury items

I will never ever in my fukking life buy a fukking mac. That's like buying a BMW or Benz I'd rather get that Shelby Mustang

Mother fukkers drop 2k on a Mac just to post on the coli, watch bytches twerk on youtube, and listen to naus or c00ndrick cacmar.

Things that you could do on a $500 or less laptop

but you don't know if next year is going to be the one that brings radical change. If a Macbook 2-in-1 dropped I would get it immediately, but that's unlikely because it'll cut into their iPad share

I think you just figured out your own dilemma

Wait for a Macbook 2-in-1? I mean it seems like they'll hold out on that for as long as possible but eventually as more of them continue to come out it would seem like a necessity that they add one to the line-up, which makes me assume that one is coming soon. What do you think?

some have suggested that the new MacBook using Intel Core-M shows that Apple may have interest in making a 2-in-1

I'm going to buy one but I know I'm overpaying...I can find a 350 dollar computer to do exactly what it is im trying to do.

My laptop just went down and it's time to get a new one, I've never really used a Mac but they seem to be the standard in the music industry so that's what I'm going with. Right now I'm using a Chromebook that I'm going to return before the 5 days is up, then I've gotta get the files backed up on my old hard drive

My Macbook>>>>>any other laptop I've ever had

Only clowns buy macbooks

If it ain't pro u lawse

Mackbooks are people that dont know better

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Only clowns DONT buy MacBooks.... At least for any other reason Other than it being a MacBook. I'm doing a virus scan on my 4 year old MacBook now and still haven't found shyt. I swear I do it once a year too...


Like homie above said, only major issues I've had with it is the battery. I bought external HD's for more space and I'm g2g. Even with 4gigs of ram it was dusting most PC's well after it had came out.


I might cop an air or something soon when I start school. I've been using it for so long I forget how to use windows...
