Hows it feel?

[close2reality]

So does the brand new rMBP 13. So whats your point?

The hell it does.

----------

Here is the huge moral decision in making this thread:

I would not have made it if it was 15 days past the launch.

You all have a decision after reading this thread, either keep it and label me a troll, or I proved a point to some and you return it.

But none of you have to sit here and feel like ass reading this over your purchase, because your not bound to it yet.

It serves no utility other than the web browsing and word processing....it's an iPad with an OS....that you can't actually utilize.

Yet, all the reviews show that claim is utter and complete ********.

You have proven nothing at all so far.

To have been manipulated by apple into believing this Macbook is worth the price tag

rMB is cheaper than the competing Samsung Ativ Book 9 Plus, with identical specs. So please explain your proclamation.

Nice hail mary.

Yea my mistake, I meant the non-plus model. Sorry I'm on a phone and went to wrong link.

Cnet makes a direct comparison to rMB in the video review.

Fail Mary?

This coming from an an apple fanboy himself. You should all return them while you still can.

It's simplicity is awesome, and I really do believe going wireless is where we will eventually be. But what your getting, especially processor wise, is way under par for the price tag.

For the same price you can get a MBP 13" Retina...but wait, is that too heavy?

The issue is people just need an excuse to spend money, even if that means jumping onto the "it's never thin or light enough" bandwagon.

Now lets see how fast this gets deleted, and I get reprimanded for exercising free speech.

Hahahahaha! Is this guy for real?!?!

Yup. Now go finish your half basement you are living in. In the time you are wasting you could already have a few sheets of drywall up.

That was disturbingly accurate to my current living situation.

A 256gb 8gb macbook air costs the same as the base rmb. Sure, better processor, but old design and a horrible display. Would you consider that a ripoff too (not trying to be sarcastic, just looking for your opinion on it)?

Some people appreciate design and will pay the premium for it you know? It isn't all about specs, but how much the individual enjoys the product.

It's because you posted on here you live in a half basement with no drywall and a wood stove.

I think you are just lucky people were more helpful to you when you asked for advice about buying one share of Apple stock than you are to others with your tone here. What goes around comes around. Have a nice weekend I'm out of here.

Stop stalking my MacRumors life.

It's been fun, but my rMB order is ready to pick up at BestBuy...laters!

 

[GaresTaylan]

Actually Im using it to work tickets for the company I work for, run Windows 10TP and Ubuntu in Parallels, build collections for patching and software deployments in SCCM, perform remote support and software deployments with ARD, etc.

Facebook works great, too, in case you're wondering.

Here, let me give you this OS but you can't do anything with it because it's shackled by its processor.

Put it this way, it's closer to a $1300 iPad than a $1300 laptop.

Do you own one?

While I agree he is a bit harsh, it is fair to point out that this macbook is just like the watch: an impulse item that is way overpriced for what you get.

However, if you want to own it I'm not going to tell you its a mistake. Its just not a choice I would make right now. When I get some time to go to the store and play with it, I will then decide.

I am anxious, however, to see the "Stayed Sold" stats from Apple, or the return rate. Guess we can watch the refurb site for some indication.

And most of those reviews don't recommend it either.

Sorry that's what popped into my mind. Carry on.

I agree. Most Apple products in general are way overpriced for what you need or way overpriced for what you get. This shouldn't be new to anyone.

Is a BMW an "impulse item"?

oh **** look what can he just opened.

 

[Cvx5832]

It can be. Anything can be an impulse buy. A house, a car, a retina MacBook...

Years ago I did just that. I walked into a BMW dealership checking out toys and walked out with a freakin' monthly payment.

Thankfully it's not always a bad thing. I still have that car and have never regretted the purchase. My wife did think I was crazy.
