There are really only two legit reasons to own mac products over android/windows stuff these days:

1) you do video editing and need access to final cut pro (which is less of a necessity nowadays than in the past, actually)
2) you're in the market for a handheld device and having access to gaming shit at launch is really important to you

That's it. The rest of it is just paying more for status, like people who only shop at Abercrombie & Fitch.  Yes, the stuff looks prettier, but not $170 prettier.  gtfo.

Mostly true but Apple still has quite a few good games that aren't getting ported to Android anytime soon

What the heck is iPad 2? I thought i had an iPad 3...?

I agree that this is weird and potentially bad. Seriously, most people can't stand making this many choices. Colored cases are one thing, and memory amount is probably a good choice, but choosing a regular resolution or high-res Retina is just one step closer to the Performa mistakes Apple-of-old made.

Let's not pretend that the competition is any less expensive.

Samsung ATIV Book 9+ (http://www.samsung.com/us/computer/pcs/NP940X3G-K04US)

Dell XPS 15 (http://www.dell.com/us/p/xps-15-9530/pd?oc=dncwx1566h&model_id=xps-15-9530)

Asus Zenbook UX301LA (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&sku=1004475&Q=&is=REG&A=details)

HP Envy Spectre 14 (http://www.hardwarezone.com.sg/review-preview-hp-s-14-inch-3200-x-1800-qhd-envy-14-notebook)

It's not terribly difficult to buy a sub-QHD laptops that gets uncomfortably close to $2,000 as well. And sure, no one has to buy any of these.

The 15'' base cMBP was what, $1449? Pay $50 more and get a 13'' rMBP @ 2.4/8/256.

Post by: Akala on October 26, 2013, 02:17:03 PM
I've been looking around and actually played with them the other night. Going to get one probably next weekend, but debating on/still looking at options...

Right now it's between the mid-tier 13" (really like portability and form factor) or a refurb top of the line 15" retina from earlier this year (slightly beefier proc although not haswell, 650M)...price not too much more and would give more options. I am not sure I like the bigger footprint though.

I think I may lose out on the iwork etc for free, but I can get a 10$ copy of office through work anyway so no biggie. I have no delusions about its gaming capability, but I also have a shitton of steamplay games in my library, and would be cool to at least run more than basic stuff.

Just not sure. not terribly worried about the fact that it's a refurb because it's under warranty and have a year to throw applecare on it lol.

The 13'' runs Iris, not Iris Pro, but the integrated option in the new rMBPs is making strides to close the gap between iGPU and low-end dGPU:

http://www.anandtech.com/show/6993/intel-iris-pro-5200-graphics-review-core-i74950hq-tested

Comparing the 650M, not the new 750M, but it's a good look at the capabilities. Gaming, especially when AA is enabled, is the main difference (5-30% in favor of the dGPU), but Iris Pro still far outperforms it's predecessors.
Title: Re: Apple iPad bullshit thing going on today
Post by: Akala on October 26, 2013, 03:16:39 PM
yeah, rolling dice on gaming seems to be the deciding factor in which one I'm getting. The more I think about it, the more I'm leaning towards the 13"...I just don't really see myself even trying to game on it. also can save on taxes buying through amazon lol.

if the 13"/Iris can at least handle Civ V I think I'll be good.

Played with an iPad Air today. Most Apple ballwashing reviews are full of hyperbole and bullshit, but they're not far off the mark with this one. It's crazy how light it feels, the difference over the Mini is pretty negligible. They didn't knock off as much of the side bezel as I thought, so you can hold it without your thumbs looking like a big toe pressed all over the screen. Was THIS close to selling my Mini and paying the difference. My hypocrisy knows no bounds. Then I went on Daring Fireball, and reading a page of that smarmy cockslobbering helped the sensation pass.

iPad 2 is way behind, I really don't think the 3 is.

I just hate how iOS 7 is gimped, not to mention how it stains it.

OS X Mavericks is free and amazing. Finally, real multi-display support.

I hate that my dock keeps jumping from monitor monitor, but otherwise it seems pretty good.

I need a new Mac laptop for development. Wonder if an Air would be suitable.
