Apple to Introduce New Macs at October 27 Event

[fastasleep]

I know what a straw man is, I was just pointing out that you like to defend apples position, hence the condoning. Nothing to do with a stawman argument.

That makes much more sense. You phrased it very differently to begin with. I defend them because I agree with them (on most things) and really seriously do not believe they are trying to screw people. You might; that's fine. But if you insinuate that I am actively defending their intent to screw people, that's where we get into the logical fallacies.

Can anyone confirm that I would be able to connect two firwire devices to these new mac book pro?

My machine of choice would be the 13". CPU wise I'd like to buy the processor with the largest cache memory. Which one is it, are all the same?

I used to love Apple, I used to watch the keynotes and come away wanting whatever they had, I watched the keynote this morning and was under whelmed. The oled bar looks cool, but not sure why they don't just have that in addition to the function keys. That would make more sense to me. They have changed the laptop over the years in a bad way making lots of decisions that have affected me, no one thing is that big but the sum of all parts is what I get worked up over and its such a shame.

(Its still a good looking machine)

Long overdue....

But I expect nothing more than last year's GPUs with next year's prices.

But I bet they run a legally licensed operating system.

And I was right; the GPUs suck and the prices are insane.

Mac Pro is the ONLY thing I care about. Apple, you'd better deliver!

Can I get your thoughts now?

Wow, I cannot wait to pay 2000+ Euro for an entry level laptop that has less of everything.

Nailed it! Hahaha!

Battery life
Performance
Screen
Form factor
Touchpad and bar

All look like really nice improvements.

Lack of USB3 port, SD card Reader and HDMI port sucks balls though.

And the price is outrageous.

Still runs a legally licensed operating system. Maybe you should look into that.

Still cost me 1/3rd the price of a Mac and runs way faster with upgrade options. Maybe you should consider that.

So you've discovered that doing illegal things can lead to gains. No, I won't consider that.

If Apple can't make a good computer, I'll make one myself.

That's fine but then you also need to create your own OS. There are plenty of Linux distros that could serve as a base. Copyright infringement is not "mak[ing] one [your]self." Of course you already knew that but just wanted to excuse your own illegal behavior.

Yeah, but I don't care.

 

[thisisnotmyname]

Yeah, but I don't care.

and there we have it. Thank you for being honest about your lack of integrity.

You might wanna reconsider supporting Apple then.

You might wanna reconsider supporting Apple then.

Although your lack of integrity doesn't seem like a compelling reason for me to stop purchasing Apple products, at this point we have veered well off topic and stop beating this poor horse.
