School work.
I be having lots of microsoft tabs and preview files open, and I procrastinate by using safari.
At some point its unbeareable.
Especially when I'm in class open up the macbook from sleep try to open M$ word and it freezes and takes time and I'm allat the screen.
SSD will probably be done in 3-4 years.
Plus I'm thinking of getting VM on it instead of having to restart my computer to get to bootcamp.
I'd probably make that jump a lot sooner than 3 or 4 years from now, especially if you're planning on running Windows in a VM. You'll definitely notice a big performance difference running a VM on an SSD vs. running it on an HDD.
Even outside of that, you'll notice the difference between a SSD and the hard drive you're using now. Once you've used a system with a SSD, you'll
at the thought of using any computer with a plain HDD inside

That was two years ago breh. How exactly is it feeling old?I bought my Toshiba laptop and it is not slow at all or
. I am using about 200 GB of a 750GB hard drive.
Here we have 2 comparable laptops, pretty much identical specs.
Macbook: 11-inch MacBook Air $1099
Dell: $542
Out the gate, spec wise the Dell is already better than the Apple due to having a larger HD, newer gen Intel Processor, and more Ram. But I can hear people crying saying that the MacBook comes with a SSD and that's uber important. So, for the sake of the argument we'll tack on an extra $80 to the Dell for a 256GB SSD, so we're looking at a grand total of $632 for the Dell vs $1099 for the Apple.
Now, according to a quick Google search the average lifespan of a laptop is 3 - 4 years. Now, say you buy the Dell and almost every major thing that can go wrong, goes wrong. Motherboard goes bad, Hard Drive dies, Screen stops working, power brick dies.
Motherboard: $130
Hard Drive: $80
Screen Replacement: $110
Power Brick: $40
Total = $380
+ Original cost = $1012
Now, you're probably thinking well that's about right, I might as well get the Mac off GP. Now, let's say just one thing goes wrong on the Mac:
Screen Replacement: $300
Motherboard Replacement: $250
Charger(We all know Apple chargers are shyt): $79
*Disclaimer: Don't quote me on any of this as it was all done with quick google searches and with the first few results.
My point is tho that there's no logical reason for anyone to pay that much more for a laptop other than the fact you want OSX or to say you have a Macbook. And really if you want OXS you can hack up a version for Windows. I'm not sure if that's still a thing but I remember doing it some years back on a Toshiba.
It's really like buying a BMW vs buying a Camry. I mean if you're financially able to then hell why not?

I aint discriminate. I hate everyone equally.
Breh that shyt is the same processor.
PCI-E SSD > SATA SSD. That shyt is instant on and way faster than the Dell.
Plus you forgetting about resale value. Look at the TCO. 4 years from now you can sell that Air for $500. You won't even be able to give away the Dell.
And battery life... that Air gets double the battery life than the Dell.
Apple has a premium but it IS justifiable (most of the time).
But if you want a cheap little facebook / note taking machine just get a cheap ass laptop.
I got a replacement Mac I think it's a 2014. I got WINDOWS 7 running on it but noticed it's hella slow with maybe 4gb ram. Will 16gb ram be enough?Shout out to my Mac nikkas

I currently have 8 gb it suits my needs for now eventually i'll go to 16 but anymore than that is overkill and is really just for bragging. Gaming is why I upgraded in the first place. I do need a new processor though.

Built my own pc's for awhile and the current one ran without any cpu cooling for over a year. Replaced the cooler, runs even better 5 years after initially building it and I do 3D modeling, audio production, video editing, graphic design on it. Apple makes their stuff so you have to buy a whole new system every 2-3 years.
