    that's just a meme ignorant people like you just shitting

    Macs are no different from building your own except they use integrated graphics as the default instead of a high end graphics card.
    You'll end up paying around the same if you build your own or buy from a company like lenovo or whoever.

    Lol apple is trash. If you have a Macbook newer than 2015 you can't just take it into a computer repair shop to get a simple fix because Apple has a policy not to sell the parts to part distributors so you have to pay a bunch of money to Apple to fix it, also they don't offer data recovery.

    Lets make a new screwdrivers so people cant fix their phones themselves lulz.

    I have apple products, but i see zero that makes them sore reliable, powerful or unique. I love my ipad, but if i had any other 10" tablet, im sure itd work just as well. Always got me that they could sell core 2 quads in like 2016 for thousands of dollars lol.

    You're using a very outdated and discontinued Mac product to try and prove a retarded point

    I've gone on lenovo, hp, samsung, dell etc and every single one of their comparable products costs as much as a mac, except you get an inferior experience (windows or linux).

    The PC I built in 2013 costed as much as a mac, sans the gpu.

    The whole "macs are overpriced" argument is outdated and no longer applies

    macs are no longer behind windows desktops in terms of performance and they are no longer vastly overpriced

    there is literally no reason to not use a mac now

    im like 99% sure youre torlling but im bored so ill play.

    $1300 for a 3GHz Core i5 and 8GB of ram. Thats worse than the 3.3Ghz i5-2500k rig i had built back in 2011, and i payed Cyberpower 1100 for that. So theyre only 8 years behind and a few hundred over. Im getting ready to sell the aforementioned computer, and ill probably list it at $600 tops.

    wowzers. six core i7s?! Like the 6 core, 12 hyperthreaded r5 2600x I just dropped in my new computer for $160?

    How much is this bleeding edge technology, praytell? Bc if its more than $1200 or so, youre fucking up in a huge way.

    But its yer skrilla homie.

    That doesn't mean it's not an accurate representation of their pricing tactics. It's probably worse now.

    oh good maybe that will compete price-wise with a computer from 2011. lol.
