April Fools!

I got home only 30 minutes before the end of april fools EST, just enough time to photoshop and post this (my laptop really is dead, and I'm just now switching to my backup laptop), and @Misanthrope wouldn't let me have even two hours of fun

 

I will mention, however, that I did seriously consider a mac. 

 

 

"Just work" and "Just don't get viruses" should have been easy to tell. Surprised it didn't cause more flaming....I ALMOST said "I'm buying another alienware" but I doubt anyone would have believed it.

As many of you know, I owned an m18x that I got used a long time ago. I no longer gamed on it, and it became the machine I used for web editing and photo work. Recently, I was at a friend's apartment (duplex?) and a power surged killed my laptop, his laptop dying instantly, and mine over the course of a few days. I'm not sure exactly what happened, but it resulted from some power issues, and the fact that we found out (after we had to hit the breaker) that his brother had daisy chained power strips. 

This cause me a lot of inconvenience, and despite having the important things backed up, having to order and set up a new machine with all of the tools and software I use is an inconvenience. 

 

So, I decided I needed something reliable for my professional work. I decided to get a macbook pro, since i have a desktop to game on. It's light, wont get viruses, and has parallels. It is costly, especially seeing I needed the 1TB option, but I feel it will pay off in the long run. 

after all of the problems I had with that last laptop, I'm done buying PCs unless it's for gaming. I know everyone is going to argue me because everyone here is a mac hater, but it's too late, I already ordered it. 

I'll post pictures and a review soon after I get it.

I love Apple laptops man. Have fun with yours!

 

PS. I would never buy any desktop anyways so ya. Building FTW

God damn. 3.2K on a MBP? You really went all out on a laptop. But it handles heat than this piece of shit i'm typing on they call a laptop.

[AlexStriz]

Welcome to the club

 

Be prepared to have your ass raped by pro-Windows fanboys on a daily. Don't worry, you'll get used to it after a while. 

 

Edit: Fuck you and your april fools joke. 

[Swndlr]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS

Welcome to the MacBook club

I will prove this is a superior laptop. I can't wait for the battery life and the retina screen 

[Enderman]

Nice

 

btw dont believe the "macs cant get viruses" bullshit

its not true

you can still get viruses if you download something thats infected or you download a virus itself

 

also its not more reliable than PC...

both are computers, both can be screwed up, but if you take care of it, both PC and mac will work perfectly fine

one is not better than the other

[connorpiper]

I thought you purchased the Macbook for editing. And I would have just had a seizure, but you got the MBP, which is a laptop that actually makes sense. But seeing that priced, I can still say that the Sony VAIO Z was not actually overpriced, people just let Apple get away with whatever they want.

I used to fix laptops for a living. The broken mac I always got were from water damage or dropping. 

[CoolaxGaming]

This makes me feel jealous. Anyways, I exchanged a macbook for a windows tablet. 

For some reason, I cant stand MAC OS

[Imabigmac]

I hate this day. I can't take anything serious..... 

 

Is he trolling is he Legit???? 

 

He won't tell me, 

 

If I say anything somewhat related I may be wrong either way..... 

[mr moose]

As I always say, you gotta get the best you can for the dosh your able to spend, if a mac is the cheapest device that fills your requirements then that's the logical choice. 

[terrytek]

i see you already changed the profile pic already to apple fanboy...

[Enderman]

thats cause they are very idiot-proof

hard for the tech-dumb people to screw up the OS

 

if youre smart with a PC you can keep it in perfect condition

but a lot of people find every way possible to screw it up so it seems like its much worse than OSX

It's Syntax, he doesn't joke... unless its a terrible pun or it's edited onto a wallpaper

It's a serious investment. I'm tired of carrying an 18 pound laptop. This will fit well in my bag with my g600 and macro keypad I use for photoshop. 

[Decon]

Yay MBP club FTW

 

Get an eGPU yo, 750m = crap

 

EDIT you said you already had a gaming desktop... oh well

[Comessy]

It's light, wont get viruses,

       wont get viruses,

              wont get viruses,

I'm done.

Okay. I bought a iPhone 6 Plus. So I can't really be an Apple hater or say you over paid cause well.... U get the point. Reasons

I'm considering it, but I've found that I don't game on the go often, and my desktop is portable for friend's houses.

Good God, you've gone all out, haven't you? "Apple Master Race" member title? You don't even have the MacBook yet do you?

[nekomata]

Your macbook will last you a lifetime, though you won't get too much out of it tbh, but not bad

I've been using an iMac almost daily away from home to edit on, so I'm pretty comfortable making this switch.

What's wrong with Apples? They're healthy, sweet and taste good. What's the problem?

Apples can be expensive, especially the Honey Crisp variety. People hate on them because you can get pears for cheaper and they do the same thing
