Wow, how long did you spend on that? Sounds pretty butt-ravaged to me.

I love the part where you responded to the "charges obscene amounts for Foxconn hardware" without addressing the markup/brand tax. That's the real reason--you overpay, and you can't exchange parts.

why is apple justified to charge triple their competitors do for the same ahrdware op

Did you mommy help you make that?

>>21784296
CUZ THEERE SPERM TASTE GUD

>>21784296
i would love to see where you can find a premade computer with the same specs as a current mac for 1/3 the cost. links plz

>givs

Did you make this foaming at the mouth. That isn't rabies, that is AIDS.

>>21784339

>>21784377
remember that part where i said current and premade, not old and self built? yeah.

>>21784402
What's your point?
Oh, you actually think that the assembly of components makes it worth it?
BAHAHAHAHAHA

op thinks he's a clever troll by acting retarded. move along.

>>21784414
Go back to /v/.

>>21784428
are you retarded? Premade assembly parts are usually shit, especially apple stuff.

>>21784414
no im saying people dont all build their own computers, and comparing the price of a car to the price of the parts of a car is an unfair comparison. besides which he said apple was charging triple for the same thing, and building it is part of that.

>>21784428
>ad hominem

You sure are desperate.

>butt-ravaged mac fanboy thread
Hilarious
Enjoy your dick in mouth

>>21784434
You are retarded, I never implied that.

Kill yourself.

>>21784465

>>21784443
Yeah but in that build he got 2 screens, a laptop as well and it's still less than a barebones mac.

>>21784473
Umad?

>>21784479
>4ssd's
>barebones

>>21784339
How many times do macfags have to issue this challenge. You would think they'd learn.

>>21784502

>trick stupid people into believing buzzwords such as retina display
>yeah I guess naming the maximum resolution the human eye can distinguish is meaningless
>retina display
>maximum resolution the human eye can distinguish
Ha
HA
AHAHAAHAHA.

Lost all credibility with that there. You really do believe their bullshit, instead of seeing past it, and in turn are just another stupid mac user trying to justify their purchase because they are riddled with buyer's remorse.

>>21784233

>>21784511
not the person you've been arguing with.

but this computer would absolutely destroy a mac for rendering, cad, or any graphics intensive editing.

including video

and its well under half the price of the highest end macs.

and its the first link i got when i search "hi end pc"

>>21784562
and heres another link. two links down.

Out of curiosity OP, I was looking up the alloy used for computer components and I found this on one of the websites.
>Magnesium, when compared to aluminum, is softer and more expensive, and has the tendency to bend easily. Magnesium versus aluminum is highly reactive and less stable than aluminum.

Here's the part you left out
>Aluminum and magnesium are both used for manufacturing automobile parts, and many experiments have been done to substitute aluminum with magnesium.

fail.

I actually like some Macs, but your arguments are retarded.
Built-in battery (7 hours)2

This is exactly a bunch of PC drones are such faggots.

>LOOK AT ME I CAN PUT TOGETHER PARTS I BOUGHT OFF OF NEWEGG TO PLAY SKYRIM WITH NAKED MODS WITH ONLY $1000 I SAVED FOR OVER 6 MONTHS

Fucking dumbass. These faggots think computers = lolgames

>>21784633
how is that at all meaningful? "magnesium has uses" no shit.

>>21784723
>acer

>>21784633

This.

I work for a UK helicopter company that uses both magnesium and lithium in the production of attack helicopters, and naval helicopters. Hell, even the Canadian rescue service use these composites, and they don't exactly have the nicest climates.

It's not the materials, it's how they're mixed and how they're used

>>21784723
What about the battery?
What about bluetooth?
What about the GPU?

Are you retarded? Get the fuck back to /v/.

>>21784741

I know, and it's not my choice. However, the kiddie issues a challenge to find comparable components.

Personally I think using an i7 in a laptop is retarded anyway. You want battery life, lightness and air circulation. Who honestly would want to use NX+ or CATIA on a laptop?

>>21784741
Acer has gotten better actually.

>>21784779

lol. Accept you got owned and got laughed off. The laughable thing is I used to use a MacPro at work, and it was really nice.

Of course, we have POWER7 workstations running AIX now, but if you're cheap a MacPro is a reasonable workstation

Macfags gettin told itt
Doesn't even matter though, they're too far gone to be swayed by reasoning and logic

>>21784834
OH wow.

>>21784821
Nope. Typing this on Acer actually. Just barely a year old and already the worst fucking shitfuck piece of electronics I've ever had.

>>21784779
According to applefags, it's bad to buy more powerful parts. LOL

>>21784857
How come? I never owned an Acer, I just never got a straight forward answer why they are so hated? Do they fail that much?

>>21784233
i love you
2/10
2 for the huge effort

>>21784857
same here, both hinges are broken and the left click doesn't work

>>21784878
recently built quality has been fucking horrible they usually last less then 1 year but they used to be ok.

>Resons can always be invented later.

I don't get the OP in this thread. Despite /g/'s hatred, there are some things that are nice about owning a Mac. Why can't OP accept that he has a nicer Unix environment, or the nice battery life? Why does it have to be that every single thing is better?

Sorry, I'll go back to telling people to installing Gentoo now.

>don't hold your phone like a phone

>>21784878
-Build quality is truly fucking horrendous (one day I took it out of my bag and the fucking DVD drive somehow fell off)
-Awful, inaccurate trackpad
-Terrible screen
-Uncomfortable keys
-Stupidly HOT
-Shit battery life

That's about it.

>>21784233
You didn't properly address the biggest concern.
Google did not contribute back obfuscated code to KHTML. Apple did.

>>21784920
Because OP found a year old picture, and spent his morning creating arguments for each
Or more simply, he is extremely butt ravaged

>>21784988
Is it like that for all Acer's?

>>21785020
webkit make u mad?

>>21785038
No. It depends on the model. Some are decent. They don't really make anything that good, though. Except for maybe the Timeline X series. Haven't tried it yet.

>>21784977

Adverts?

>>21784233
I remember reading this months ago, so 1/10 for saving the image and reposting it.

>>21784865

ouch

>>21785074
lolnoudidnt
>date created
>today

>>21784829
I wasn't even the anon you were replying to, i'm just curious why someone would make a comparison like you just did. Battery capacity, bluetooth and the GPU are as important as the CPU and RAM, I figure you'd know this since you speak like a tryhard guru. Just go back to /v/.

>mfw most of those rebuttals are actually legit
>mfw /g/ thinks the entire list is shit
You people are idiots.

>>21785145
Most of the retards posting here are windows drones, there's no reason to be surprised.

Why am i not able to load the picture?

>>21785164
Right, I forgot about that.
Windows users are almost as delusional as macfags.

>>21785094
Then this may be an update of that one.
2/10 then.

>>21785197
OP here, made it today from scratch. any resemblance to previous pictures is purely coincidental.

>>21785145
The picture basically says Apple is as a bad as anyone else. So why should I pay more for Apple products, then?

>>21785183
There is no such thing as macfags. But thank you for reminding me to filter the posts that contain this word, it helps to get rid of the underage.

>>21785227
the point is just that people get super butthurt about macs but if they actually cared about all those things they would hate everything equally. aka irrational mac hatred, or irrational non mac non hatred. either or.

>>21784233
Red is a macfag.

>>21785345
no shit.

>>21785228
Oh yes there is such a thing.

New to the thread. Gotta make a few points before I go take a shower, pick up last-minute christmas presents, and pick my fiancee from work.
OP made like 2 actual refutations, the rest were "Lol {Windows,Google,Acer,Dell,HP,etc} does it too!"
That doesn't make it not bad, and "Windows does it too" does not mean that Apple is better, but that both are in the wrong.
"Android restricts your shit too" does not mean that Apple is any less guilty of restricting your shit.
Also, the obfuscated code bit jumped entirely over your head.
The last one exposes you for the Applefag you truly are:
"iPhone reception bad? Have you tried not holding it like a normal fucking phone?"
It's obviously the customer's fault for holding a phone like a phone, when they should be holding it like an iPhone. Obviously not Apple's fault, blame the customer.

>>21785379
I'm pretty sure there are retarded windows users, too. What's your point?

>>21785262
We do hate them all equally. Do you EVER see a Dell love thread on /g/?
We just hate Apple the most, because they tend to be the worst offender in most categories.

>>21785228
You do realize that by filtering to "get rid of the underage", you are pretty much just putting your fingers in your ears and going "LALALALA I DON'T HEAR YOU," right?

>>21785441
I've seen people recommending prebuilts for people that don't want to build their own PC, but they want a good prebuilt. You only see people recommending apple when they want to troll. Are you trying to justify your 12 year old kid attitude with this?

>>21784233
>try not holding a cellphone like a cellphonel phone

way

>>21784834
>you need 10GB ram to download and install a keyboard

>>21785478
What?
I never said anything of the sort, that was my first post in the thread.
Fuck, I'd recommend a cheaper and and more powerful prebuilt than any Mac.

>>21785473
Did you pictured that using some sort of family guy plot? You're so funny and intelligent, millenium child.

It's easier to filter out the retards. I'm sure you enjoy getting your dose of LawWlZ from the underage trolls, but some people are >24 years old in here.
