It's crazy how many people have a Macbook in college classes

[Agentdark45]

Can confirm, most likely a journalism class since they required Apple products to run Illustrator and other programs, hence the plethora of Macbooks.

U wot m8

brb $2000 laptop needed to run illustrator.

Try doing any serious 3D / VFX and not just "media" or whatever the fukk hipsters are calling it these days and see how far your Apple product takes you.

My Dell costs the same as 15" pro retina but blows it out of the water in performance and its even lighter.

U wot m8

brb $2000 laptop needed to run illustrator.

brb installed SW 2015 pro on friends lenovo yoga 2...$300 lewlll

Some people just want to have hip laptops I guess

[BuckN20T]

lel my college had one of the best engineering schools in the country...also frequented some math classes full of macs

of course the uneducated cretin on here who dickrides trades because they're too peabrained to go to school knows better than everyone

Doth mother know you weareth her drapes?

I've never understood note taking on a laptop. I use notebook and pen.

You can't draw diagrams or write equations very well on 'Pages'.

[Emilos12]

Well if you do engineering you won't get far with a macbook. At my school we were told to get windows pc's or we couldn't run any of the math/3d programs.

That's where a phone like the Note 4 comes into play. Dat handwriting recognition, big ass screen and pressure sensitivity.

Or you could get the iFail 6 which doesn't have any of those features.

This.

Anyone who uses an app that needs some serious horsepower / knows wtf they are doing will not touch a mac with a 10 foot pole.

[KingSWRV]

and the majority of them will use it only for the most basic functions that you could get with a 400 dollar asus

I can run most word processors on a pc from 1998 by that logic it never ends just like your retardation never ends.

[rocketfish]

If you count windows vs mac computers, it's pretty even actually. Windows is just run by so many other brands. yeah they're more expensive, but I love my mac (not in college anymore)

lol.. windows ran by so many other brands

[phattydicksesh]

Apple is cashing in on the college craze. I know very little about computers, but I chose a Sony Vaio for my first laptop. It's held up really well so far and I haven't had anything wrong with it. It's also WAY faster than my friends Macbooks but I don't know how old or what Macbook models they have, so it's hard to compare.

I like to think of it as you get what you pay for. I know someone who constantly compares their new macbook to their 10 year old dell family computer. They are comparing apples to oranges (no pun), but I can't get that through their head. Whether you spend $1000 for non-mac or $1000 for Mac you will have a solid machine. But no, the $250 Walmart special will not compare to new $1000 Macbook Pro.

Macs run windows lol lol lol and with more processing power lmao

That 250 Walmart special will be just as fast or faster than a Macbook Air, that's for sure.

macbook pro master race checking in

This. When will they learn??

Only dorks really care that other people have Mac's. I don't go to school and think "LULZ WOW, LOOK AT THAT BMW... I COULD BUILD A CAR THAT GETS 35MPG FOR LIKE $1000."

Why? Because people can spend their money however they damn well please, including but not limited to quality, reliable products that you wouldn't buy.

[Agentdark45]

Macs run windows lol lol lol and with more processing power lmao

Try high end 3D rendering from virtualized windows and then get back to me.

[PrimeraRS]

Macs run windows lol lol lol and with more processing power lmao

Engineers don't use macs /discussion

I've used SW and Siemens NX 9 on a mac and they were so damn buggy. It was a testing purpose.

[BuckN20T]

ITP: All windows PC have the same chit tier CPU

Worst logic/analogy I've seen ITT.

He doesnt know that apple doesnt have Open GL support drivers, half of fuking SW didnt work because of that.

[STLmisc]

"Just like your retardation never ends"


Ooooo good one cocknocker, if that '98 PC runs as smooth as a generic laptop from 2015 (like that 400 dollar Asus I was talking about) then yeah by my logic I would sure as chit get it

And I'm sure you would too because it's "retro" u latte drinking Hiptard.

Lol lol so why am I running windows 7 on my MacBook pro lmao and I play open gl games hahaha

50% premium for an apple logo

It's a perfectly fine analogy. Not everyone likes what you like.

I built a low 11 second car for about $15,000. My sister has a car that is about the same quarter mile time that cost her $50k. But guess what? My sister doesn't like Chevy Nova's, and I don't like BMW's. I also got a 4x4 for $5000, but I don't go to someone who spent $10k and mock them (nor does the thought even cross my damn mind) because they prefer an '01 Toyota over a '97 Chevy, even though they are very comparable in application.

The point is different strokes for different folks. This obsession of goofy PC gamers and others with the fact that some people spend $1500 on a MBP is weird AF to me, and I've actually been approached by people about this at my college library.

If you want a better analogy, pick ones. Different cars, AK vs. AR, Glock vs. Springfield XD, it all boils down to the same thing.

[Agentdark45]

Lol lol so why am I running windows 7 on my MacBook pro lmao and I play open gl games hahaha

You sound like you're about 12 years old.

Educate yourself. The grownups have spoken.

[PrimeraRS]

Everyone has a mac, this was done on purpose...I hope to god....if not then these are the idiots complaining about not finding a job out of college with their 2.8 gpa arts degree

[KingSWRV]

Why am I running 64 bit auto cad with 8 virtual cores and 16 go ddr3 turbo ram from my laptop heehee

[PrimeraRS]

Lol lol so why am I running windows 7 on my MacBook pro lmao and I play open gl games hahaha

Holy crap you have no idea what you are talking about, I thought you were trolling but you're legit out of the loop.

Why am I running 64 bit auto cad with 8 virtual cores and 16 go ddr3 turbo ram from my laptop heehee

Because they have an autocad for mac? lol Try running Siemens NX9 or Creo 3, ya know a real CAD program and let me know what happens.

Except the analogy fails because it assumes all Windows based laptops are chit-tier / non-aesthetic. It also fails on the fact that Mac's cannot properly run applications that are integral to certain industries.

[East1600plus]

When you think about it, the average college classroom holds 50 people. Half own a macbook that costs $1000 a piece. $1000 x 25 people is $250,0000. No wonder Apple makes so much money. thats in ONE classroom

u might need a macbook with your type of math skills...

What the hell kind of BMW runs low 11s and costs 50k?

[veggie530]

That doesn't fail anything... it proves my point.

I'm an RN. What do IGAF if the Mac doesn't properly run something for another industry?

Aesthetics are in the eye of the beholder, no? Personal preference? Isn't that exactly what I was just saying?

okay, it was in the high 12's, whatever, lol

2011 BMW 1 series M I think?

No, because in your example you are stating that windows based computers are tuned-up unaesthetic beaters as opposed to equals in aesthetics and performance.

Secondly, if your more expensive purchase cannot run a percentage of apps then it is a flawed product. Simple. Or to spell this out for you, how about high end gaming on a mac? No fukking thanks Jeff. Oh no...but that doesn't make it flawed in any way...
