Yes I have used Macs extensively... The only good thing about them is that they are Linux based, which they limit way more then they should taking away the many advantages of Linux. I could list for days why he should get something other then a Macbook.

and unix based. their screens are some of if not the best on the market

2015 mac books are still awsome, sadly they screwed over 2016 models and made a hipster "pro" laptop. 

I was referring to the 12 inch MacBook....

That isn't true at all. Like at all. My friend last year bought a Dell laptop on sale for $800 that had a beautiful 17 inch 4k IPS display.

If I went for a new 2016 macbook pro I was thinking of getting the one WITHOUT the touch bar.

Is the 2015 better then the 2016 macbook pro without the touch bar?

Overheating.  I can't believe that you own a MacBook and you haven't noticed.

Poor build quality. Says who?

Shitty Trackpad. Says who?

Bad battery life. On par with a Mac.

Bad Speakers. Says who?

Overheating due to the multiplied performance. Trackpad depends on what model we are talking about. Speakers won't argue with. The battery life are great on a lot of their laptops considering the horsepower, what are you smoking?

mac book pros are good on the long run, my late 2013 macbook pro 15 inch  is still running extremely well bonus combined with solid build quality, i would argue best build laptop in the market is MacBooks. 

And Dell XPS laptops from the same era are still running also. I'm not saying Macs aren't high quality, because that'd be a lie, but they're still not worth the Apple tax. You can find some solid deals used though, that I do recommend, because I do agree that Macbooks are probably the most reliable laptops, my cousin has a 2008 or 09 Macbook white still going strong which has survived five kids and four dogs. lol

ive used a plethora of laptops and screens, and the color accuracy is second to none

I would honestly buy an Acer Aspire V17 Nitro with a GTX 1060 for the price of a Macbook, but if Apple is a
 must i totally advise not touching on the 12inch one, pure money scam.

If you're gonna buy a 2016 pro, just buy a 2015. Chances are you'll get a better deal, and the 2015 (and before) design is just SO much better imo.

look, the macs trackpad is glass, the razer one is plastic. It causes friction and your finger stops when moving it
