i'm getting a macbook today, what should i expect?

[sabrina]

unless you're already embedded into Apple's ecosystem,
there's no point in wasting a gargantuan amount of money on a machine that could possibly break within the next year or so, with NO chance of self-repair (everything is soldered down. Storage, RAM, etc. etc., literally EVERYTHING). Whatever you do (or don't), be sure you know what you're getting into

i already have a iphone and ipad for years so no problem
i know these things can't really be repaired on your own and i never did that with laptops anyways, so i am fine with that
i've used macos plenty of times in the past so i am fairly familiar with it

i tried looking for this exact macbook i was looking for and they were all over 1000 dollars, so i think it is well worth it. especially considering the original price

You should be forced to work 14 hours a day at a sweatshop and never be able to make any financial decisions on your own again

buying a macbook brand new is at a minimum 1000 dollars and this macbook pro is a good deal in terms of macbooks

noob you can buy a decently specced out Windows laptop for that price (used OR new btw) and you won't have to deal with compatibility layers or anything like that. If you really like MacOS that much just Hackintosh or whatever, it can't be that hard.

last time i bought a windows laptop i always hated how the fans were so loud. they were annoying. and hackintoshes are dated anyways for support

You do know you can change how the thermals operate through the Control Panel (Power Plan) or through 3rd party software, right? What model was it? If it was consumer grade then no wonder you had a bad experience with it, manufacturers barely put any effort into designing these machines.

Tech dummys make me really angry and I'm gritting my teeth and trying to not leak a waterfall watching this thread unfold. For the love of God @Shroot please add the option to sage a thread.

i'm getting a macbook pro m1 max. 32 gigs of ram, and a terrabyte of storage. and it's 16 inches for 950 dollars. what should i expect

unmodular hardware, soldered everything, no webm playback, very few ports (you'd be lucky to get even 3), overly-thin design. But at least your running an unix OS with a terabyte of storage. Also 950? How ANCIENT is it exactly cause that's actually pretty decent.

 

[Idkchud]

forgot to update up but i have some news:
the original seller said that he sold the mac i was looking for but he had similaer alternatives
i managed to find the exact same one i was looking for except smaller storage (512 gigs instead of a terrabyte, and also 100 bucks cheaper)
other than that, it is the same

512 gigabytes is perfectly liveable storage in case your worried about that, anything above 300 gigabytes is liveable in case that might be a worry

macbooks don't hate any fans bro, while the ARM processor is made for efficiency instead of using large amounts of power like x86 it still is concerning to have no fan system in case it does get hot
