Are MACs overpriced?

[el_oh_el]

if aluminum body is what youre looking for in a laptop...you prolly shouldnt be allowed to vote

Why?

12 hrs of what tho ? standby or word processing ?

the battery power comes at expense of shytty processor designed to save power

try to do anything cpu-intensive on that thing and see how long it lasts then

So Intel's Haswell is a shytty processor ?

what do you consider cpu intensive cause most people get macbook airs for schoool word processing emails internet

New MacBook Air’s battery puts in a full day of work | Personal Technology | The Seattle Times

there is no competition

so basically its a $1000 netbook ? I know its not but 12 hours is only if you dont do shyt that isnt intensive.

didnt realize they had haswells I take that back then.

Lol at this. Windows 8 almost had me looking the other way though.

Yes MAC is over priced. I went to the mall to buy my girl some of that makeup and the shyt costs like $26 for a compact...the fukk mayne?!?!!?

 

[Jayson_bourn]

Yes they are absolutely over-priced....I'm typing on one right now though

Haven't decided if i'll be going back to windows.

 

[Czerka]

what a stupid fukking post

the whole point of an air is getting something light and compact thats easy to lug around.

whats the point of comparing it to getting a PC + a bunch of junk?

Not to me, my mbp is running like the first day i got it a year later!

Macs typically have a longer life span, faster boot up and shut downs...

and I always get an American when I call costumer service...


They also are soon to be *made in America* which matters to some people...

 

[A.J.Soprano]

wtf is a Mac

 

[Malta]

Hell yes, the markup on the hardware inside them is hilarious.

I've never seen anything proving this...I've seen PCs that lasted ages. And the startup/shutdown time for PCs depends completely on your build. Personally I rock a SSD and 8GB RAM, my shyt boots up in less than 15 seconds.

One thing I will give you is that some out-the-box PCs are slow and have shytty startup/shutdown times, but that's only because, well, they're shytty and don't have enough memory. Like when Micrososft was trying to sell laptops with Windows Vista and only a 1GB Ram and they were slow from the jump.

Macs are less dangerous for users who don't know what they're doing or that just want to buy something without putting too much thought into specs, but there's nothing inherently faster about them. And like homie said, the hardware markup is .

Overpriced? Maybe,
Worth it,
Hell yeah.
