i dislike how locked down OSX feels and is, i dislike that they are insanly shitty price/preformance and i dislike that they arent as easy to upgrade

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

Because they look amazing, build quality is amazing, the OS is super streamlined and beautiful and lots of functionality, the screens are amazing, it has great p2p for an ultra book and it destroys all other ultrabooks in intensive tasks. And did I mention they look amazing?

I dislike how everything is locked up (it's almost impossible to repair or upgrade), it's also really expensive. But I have to admit the battery life is really impressive.

i dislike how the moment one of them pops up someone feels the need to start an argument.

 

i have my reasons not to touch apple products, you have your reason to buy apple products, lets just leave it at that.

 

we dont see full-fledged rants between asus and asrock mobo's on the forum do we? :D

yah but if i want a laptop with the same preformance as the MBP i can get it for less, and i still dislike OSX and the bad upgradability

Very well built it seems and are quite good looking as far as laptops go. OS X actually seems fantastic for productivity.

 

I certainly don't need a laptop, but i'd defo pick up a MacBook if i could. Would not buy a "gaymin" laptop. Just too trashy imo.

Name me an ultrabook with better upgradability. And if you are looking for that why arent you talking crap about the XPS and Zenbook series

maybe for the same reason the person you quoted also doesnt buy non-mac ultrabooks ;)

 

mind you that this isnt necessarily a "mac vs similar non-mac products" thread, but rather a "why do you or dont you buy apple products"

 

to which for me the simple answer would be "i'm not interested in the type of product they provide"

They arent that expensive. iOS is 10x better than Android for general usability, and those ports are 10x more useful than any other port.Adapters is true tho
