Yeah I feel sorry for anyone still using an old Macbook. Need to upgrade ASAP. Apple is bussin right now bro.

>mactard impressed by basic functionality in 2022

i will never understand the eternal mactard and i don't want to.

>>50744339
M2 is nowhere near basic functionality, especially not for a laptop. I've never used a laptop as fast as this, it's basically as fast as an actual PC rig

i can do all that with a $600 windows surface laptop from like 2018…

>>50744339
>t. still using an old macbook from 2019
Bruh you have no idea how big of an upgrade this is fr.

>>50744305
I spent $7k on the last year of Intel MBP (2019?) and it still slows down playing hollow knight, a ten year old game.
Apple knows I fucked up, too, because they will only give me like $500 trade in

>>50744305
>I can have 3 browsers open, 20 tabs
Holy shit bro welcome to 2006!

>>50744358
Try to have 3 different browser applications open with 20 tabs on a 2019 Pro

>>50744305
>5800x
>3080ti
>can run unlimited browsers
>unlimited tabs
>run games

>under 3k
>no need to upgrade for 6 years

kill yourself apple kike.

>>50744425
i have a 3080 intel i9 windows 11 $3,000 PC rig as well. I use a mac for work

>>50744425
>all at the same time

>>50744446
>windows 11 ngmi.

i don't see what advantage kike apple has over windows unless you're into film editing and shit. I bet you're a zoomer.

>>50744425
that's a solid laptop bro congrats.

>>50744492
Apple makes better laptops if you're mobile/moving around for work. Apple's are also way harder to hack/obtain information off of.

>>50744425
my 10 year old i5 3570k 1050ti desktop is still fine. i have a t450s running fedora for work

>>50744515
I said "apples" hahahah, I mean Mac's

>>50744492
oh and windows ltsc masterrace

Professional Rust (and Haskell) developer who's used Linux since 1995 here. You wouldn't see me dead with anything running iOS, but I'm hearing a lot of great things about the M2 air from old Linux beard friends and colleagues. You can even run something called Asahi Linux on it, but I have no idea how ful features that is.

>>50744556
You sound like a close minded person cuz.

this is why we don't have working thumbnails

>Apple's are also way harder to hack
What is pegasus, windows is hard to hack as well, linux is even harder.
Just don't be a retard and install pirated games that need admin rights etc... which you can't do on apple devices anyway so they just protect you from yourself if you have no self control

>>50744492
This meme that apple is better for design and editting and shit needs to stop. It was true when Final Cut Pro was considered a premium product. Those days are long over.. yet entire fucking companies fall for this meme. I'm sick of faggots trying to force me to use a shithole Mac for design work. They fucking suck.

>>50744515
>>50744672
Also who gets hacked today seriously? If you're on /g/ then you use 2 factor auth and keep the backup keys on paper, and if you store anything on your pc then others can access it, there are backdoors in your cpu right now that can access everything and you can't turn off, plus all hacks today are a variation of keyloggers looking for crypto seeds (use a hardware wallet) or ransomware (backup on cheap hdds)

>>50744373
Mac has been shit for over a decade. I'm not surprised your 2019 computer sucked too.

>>50744556

Opinion discarded.

>>50744676
i used to think like this but my company got me a mac and honestly i never went back
of course its expensive but its just way better built, everything works better, and it always works well with no issues
my windows laptops wouldnt last a year until the battery got fucked or some windows update fucked everything up

>>50744556
close minded & reasonable

>>50744590
I have children your age, slugger

>>50744305
lmao i run 200 tabs on 4 browsers all while mining, torrenting, running two virtual machines and a shitload of apps all on an two core i3 and 16 gb 3466mhz and 256 sata ssd. total cost like 300-400 bucks, how much you spent on your crap?

>>50744919
I've used plenty of Mac's in my time and they simply are not better in any possible way.

>>50744352
I have a surface and it fucking blows. Battery lasts like 5hrs. Sorry bro but windows just ain't what it used to be. Can't into tablet mode, shit battery, slow, and overheats while charging.

no games on mac, miss with me that gay shit

>>50745057
it comes with a program to set up dual boot, you can run a windows in your mac in 3 hours and download windows for free in the windows site.

>>50744349
Yeah all laptops are now and have been for ~6 years. I bet my Asus from 2015 is just as fast. Apple just engages in ritual humiliation of their sheep-like customers.

>>50744305
>my computer would crap out after 5 seconds
Because apple is shit, my 2013 lenovo can handle 320 tabs

>>50744676
I agree, anon.

>>50745106
anything with an ssd from the past 10 years will perform fine. Unless you're doing intensive shit like gaming or rendering you wont notice fuck all difference

>>50744305
is this a subtle attempt at an advert?

>>50744305
How is the MacBook Air with M2 chip?

What's the difference between the Pro and Air?

Is the M2 chip worth it over the M1?

>>50744425
let me guess...you need more?

>>50744305
>I can have 3 browsers open, 20 tabs
Oh wow HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
itoddlers BTFO

>>50744305

Some of us need portable machines for real work.

>>50744305
i got 2021 m1 pro, the hype on these new laptops is real. the screen is fucking glorious too

>>50745641
>Is the M2 chip worth it over the M1
Only slight improvements for gaming I believe, would not bother upgrading.

>>50745083
Apple computers are made by retards for retards. My brothers iMac hit 100 degrees celsius playing a game from 2007.

>Apple laptop
Lmao get a load of this idiot

>>50744305
>millions upon millions of people share this mentality
>this is why Apple is worth more than some countries
Fuck me. NPC meme is real isn't it.

>>50744305
How is the screen? I’m sensitive to backlights and the only apple product that doesn’t make me sick as fuck is the iPhone 8 Plus

Enjoy your overpriced piece of shit I guess

poorfags are so mad kek

As an Apple stockholder I appreciate this thread.

As a user, I run Lenovo AMD Ryzen Linux Mint

>>50744305
Yeah, I got the M1 Pro early this year and feel the same way. It's a huge upgrade in speed from the Intel hardware I had been using before. Reading about how the whole thing is a SoC and the RAM is right next to the processor... pretty cool stuff. Not gonna read this thread though since I know it will be full of apple-hating plebs seething that they actually do in fact make great computers.

>>50748770
>i got 2021 m1 pro, the hype on these new laptops is real.

The M1 CPU is a game changer from what I have read, the first consumer 5nm CPU, 5nm is a whole nother level, when it c4mes to billions and billions of xistors, the last 10 years have seen some true revolutions in semiconductor tech and the public is largely clueless what is going on

>>50748838
I have a HBM2 GPU

>>50748838
Why would you buy a laptop of which the previous version was a big let down that can't handle basic Internet browsing. My phone can do better than that.
Spending 1000$+ on a big disappointment and then doing it again hoping for it to be better. Should be giving the brand that sold you crap the finger instead.
Getting fucked in the ass and begging for a second round. Makes 0 sense

thanks shills, enjoy your overpriced internet appliance and doing entire OS updates just to get the latest graphics drivers (but then the new OS is like 15 steps backwards in quality from what was there before), gay microscopic cursor keys for limp-wristed latte drinkers to wetly peck at, and your 7 custom adapters just to use an external HDMI monitor.

>>50744305
2015 mbp 15 inch is gud

I have an M1 for work and I hate it with a passion
>useful older Mac software is incompatible with this crap
>there is always some gay M1 gotcha that doesn't make some library compile (good luck wading through pages and pages of bug reports on github to fix it)
>the M1 versions of multiplatform programs are released more slowly because of the above (if ever)
>have to buy extra software for normal features present in other OSs (thanks mr Cook!)
>doesn't work well with multiple monitors, if you unlock the screen all your windows are automatically rearranged into your laptop's screen (again needs an external tool, Slate, to fix it)
>inconsistent keyboard shortcuts across software (e.g. End goes either to the top of the page or the end of the line, depending on which sw you're using)

I hope the M2 has even more incompatibilities than the M1, so people won't buy this crap

>>50744349
>PC rig
My shit fifth gen Intel runs 100+ tabs fine. I don't believe that a2019 machine isn't capable , your doing something wrong

>>50749254
Are you guys shilling or what? My wife has an m1 air, doesn't come close to my gaming/work laptop (2060rtx mobile, i7-10850h), let alone my desktop pc.
Windows is slow because of windows not intel, if you run ltsc without lots of bloatware and forgotten programs you install and forget about but still start automatically then you will have a fast pc.

Fuck off. Apple sucks cock. Not even my cock, indian cock. All they want is a one world unified civilian army.

>>50744305
enjoy your M2
after Taiwan gets invaded there will be shortages of ARM cpus

>>50744305
Yeah it’s unreal how fast it is. But i got used to it.
Enjoy it even more since apple had to replace my old one kek for free
