Went to the Dark Side

[hamiltonDSi]

Well, after wanting a retina MacBook 12 for the longest time but not being able to justify the $1,549 base price in Canada, I just went to the dark side and purchased the ASUS UX305CA instead. Got a great deal I couldn't pass up. I paid $649 Canadian with an additional $50 in store credit so works out to $599 vs the $1,549 MacBook. While the MacBook still wins on overall weight (about 1 lbs lighter) and quality, the ASUS has a Skylake Core M processor, QHD+ 3600x1800 touch screen and is just as thin as the MacBook.

There is still light in you. Search your feelings.
Your Macbook awaits.

Congrats on your purchase.

All of these types of threads would be so frickin' awesome indeed if OS X could run on lots of different hardware options.


(I realize it is fantasy land)


I truly long for way way WAY more hardware options to run OS X on than just what "thin-everything-Ive" & crew decide are the holy grail.
