I had one back in the 68K days. Decent machine, and I liked the interface enough, but who programmed that mess? If you held down the mouse button, everything on the system immediately stopped like a game of "red light green light". Are you loving making GBS threads me?

At least they still put a USB port on the keyboard. I want to buy a PC keyboard with 2 or more of those. And no, I can't buy an Apple one because they put the modifier keys in stupid places and the key travel is rear end

Shimrra Jamaane posted:$3000. Not including a monitor the xeons/graphicsin that thing alone cost more than apple charges if you buy them separately. granted practically no rational person, and no consumer, needs server cpus/workstation graphics in their desktop machine, and those who do use workstations probably prefer something where they can upgrade more than the ram. it really just seems like a pr 'look how tiny we can make this holy poo poo' thing that's kept alive by people with too much money who desperately want a mac that doesn't have a laptop gpu in it

Turtle Sandbox posted:The only reason you can say it doesn't get virus's is because of apples poo poo market penetration, sorry hackers don't waste time going after a tiny portion of people, if you aren't a 70 year old using a computer properly so it doesn't get slow or viruses is the same thing as changing the oil in your car, but you probably can't even do that simple task as well. lol if you believe in security through obscurity. people write malware to take down single machines, it's just OS X doesn't have the permissions hodgepodge that microsoft had for a decade that made it so easy took my htpc apart last night, ended up taking me 2 hours of my evening to find a ram combination that didn't stop the display from appearing on first boot, then having to trawl through my bios every 10 minutes because each hardware change caused the the settings to default, and windows goes into a reboot loop with absolutely zero feedback on why if i don't expressly tell it to use IDE as AHCI in a submenu took my imac to the local apple store 2 weeks ago, and they ordered in parts and replaced them in 3 days on a 5 year old machine and i didn't pay a penny. and nobody actually pays full price for apple gear, there's a million ways of getting discounts

Sorry you're a PC nublet, but it's not that difficult to get compatible RAM.

BlueBlazer posted:I d write malware for Macs. Have fun, 10.11 removes root privs so there is really no way to elevate to root to gently caress poo poo up, the root elevation bug that was released last week was patched in like 24hrs. Apple takes security and privacy really seriously, probably more so than any other tech company, they have also pushed for full disk encryption on all devices because gently caress the security state. Apple owns nerds

Just about everyone pays full price for apple crap, btw. But good on you for finding a way to get your overpriced stuff for a still overly high price.

I told you it was easy to identify the idiots. i used a 27% discount on my iMac and paid barely more for it than the screen was worth, and that was with a quad i7 processor. same machine that still my main workhorse and got a complete service for free the other day. doubt there's as many people with an equivalent pc from 2010 who paid less for it than i did, and still has a perfectly fine and working system on the latest os.

The other thing about apple fools is they are delusional. There are many people with equivalent and better PCs from 2010 that are running Windows 10. But a Mac from 2010 runs like poo poo on 10.10.5. Shoulda stuck with Snow Leopard. It's been all downhill since then.

macs run well for what they are; computers designed for people that can't be bothered to figure poo poo out and they just want something easy. they pay a premium for it though.
