Do not buy the new Macbooks!

[SHIT-TANK]

So Apple had their little presser today and Jobbs showed everybody his new line of Macbooks. As I imagine most of you have your paypal accounts warmed up and your debit cards clenched. I feel I should notify you that your getting ripped off.

So for this little study I'll be taking into account the Macbook pro.

Here are the specs

The 17-inch MacBook Pro.
2.5GHz
Intel Core 2 Duo
17-inch widescreen
4GB Memory
320GB hard drive1
NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT with 512MB

And here is our challenger. Right from newegg We have the Acer Aspire AS8930 notebook. And here are it's specs.

Acer Aspire AS8930
CPU Type Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 2.26G
Screen 18.4"
Memory Size 4GB DDR2
Hard Disk 320GB
Optical Drive DVD Super Multi
Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT
Video Memory 512MB
Card slot 1 x Express Card
Tech Intel Centrino 2 Processor Technology

So what do we have here? Well what we have is proof that Macs are nothing but trendy polished turds. The new Macbook is $2,799.00 and the Acer is $1,249.99 and it has superior specs. Oh and for anybody who thinks I did hour of snooping before I found this deal, nope is the very 1st thing on Newegg's laptop section.

WAKE UP STOP BEING SHEEP JOBBS HAS YOU ALL BY THE PURSE STAPS

Well, Obviously.

I mean, people buy Macs because they are a status symbol, like the Razor Phone when it first came out. Both are overrated pieces of technology that serve only as a trendy accessory.

[Urban-Champion]

But who ever owns a mac get's to rub it in other peoples faces and the other people will be like "That guy is RICH as SHIT!" And you'll just agree with them but deep down you know that you could have bought a 1990 Honda Civic with that money...

Rofl no. A Mac is a computer which can get viruses because people make viruses for that stuff. In fact because you may feel safe you're going to every porn site and then boom you get the shitload of viruses you thought you would never get on a mac.

I've heard of RageIV talking about the same stuff with how "you get ripped the fuck off with macs" stuff.

[AwesomeX]

Macs are bullshit, they can get viruses too and they are overpriced and shitty.

Also, why has your computer manufacturer become almost a culture? And you fucks lick it up every damn time, doesnt matter cost, nor anything else, long as you put that shitty apple logo on it you guys cum

Apples have always been insanely expensive. Which is probably why windows remains the dominantly used OS. If Apple had a much lower price than the PC's then maybe, just maybe that'd be their edge.

It would make sense for them to lower the price too because they can't do half the things a PC.

apple overprice their shit, we know.

[All-American-Badass]

Acer's suck
the wireless card in them goes out after a while

[Rage]

Sometimes I'm amazed that people buy their products.

There's a person I know who has literally spent tens of thousands of dollars on Apple products. I gave him the run-down on their prices and by the time I was through, he said "I'm not going to buy another Apple computer again".

Also got him to not renew his subscription to the Apple mail service.

Apple computers are real crapshoots.

[atompluspackage]

Oh god I was totally just going to go out and buy one, thank god for this thread.

I'm a PC, and I'm sarcastic.

[Shawn]

I'm a PC, and i don't give a shit!

[Scuzzfest]

Tried using a mac at school for the first time, Crashed 17 times in 30 minutes. I was just trying to make a 2 minute jingle in garage band...

Pro-Tip: Do not buy ANY Macbook

Damn straight. Macs suck. iPods are kinda cool, though. Just a bit too expensive.

Windows FTW

Yeah there's not exactly any major revelations going on here.

[thenewbies]

Everyone hates Mac just because he has slot-loading CD drives.
Just don't get Apple laptops. They get hot really easily and would kill your sperm. Especially Macbook Air.

[Jon4life]

The only accomplishment Apple has made was the iPod Touch.
