pat Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 We should call it an Nvidia. Get an Nvidia, or get a Mac. titanruss 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought my MacBook Air 7-8 years ago, refurbished and didn't have any problems until I dropped it about a year ago. Air MacBookNair ftw!

But until business is run on Mac systems, wide scale, the integration is just a pain in the ass. Fuck Mac. And that goes for iPhones and any other iShit they can come up with. Adding to that, there are way too many Mac users who are douchey about it. And this comes from someone who has to deal with asshole end users and their computer problems. Are you retired? This argument died years ago when Microsoft finally released a production grade office suite for Mac. There is no argument for PC over Mac in a work environment. Sure upfront costs are higher but you need way less tech support and you don't have to refresh hardware that often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschool Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) I have 3 macs at home and one for work Work - Macbook pro 2016 13in Home - Macbook pro 2019 15in, 2 MacBook air 2020 13in (Kids use these) It sucks thats MS wont release visio for Mac but I've been using lucidcharts which is AWS based the past few years and it works fine. Sure I can't upgrade my gear like I used to when I was a member of the PC master race but who cares? I don't game anymore anyway. I made the switch to Mac about 4 years ago and wished had done it much earlier. You won't catch me dead with an iPhone though. I hate them with a passion. I'm an android user all the way when it comes to smartphones. Edited May 15, 2020 by oldschool titanruss 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangely, most IT people I know would prefer that they were all macs instead. They may like PCs more but given the choice in forcing everyone into an ecosystem.. mac alone is much easier to deal with than only pc or a mixed bag.

If the workforce all has Macs, the IT people's job is a lot easier with less troubleshooting for the simpletons who can't figure out windows. titanruss 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliTitan3518 Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 I swear this thread jinxed my MacBook Pro. Woke up this morning and it wouldn’t turn on or charge. Hoping it’s just a battery issue. Somedude, and Number9 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No luck the other morning though. I ordered a new battery and charge to check. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your battery health wasnt an issue before then it probably will be good to just keep that new one as a spare for a bit. I dont know which model you have but my mid 2015 model, changing the battery was annoying because it was glued to the case and you have to douse it with alcohol and dig under to release it.

Why would Apple glue their laptop batteries to the case? I love my iPhone (I know, many hate them), but Apple does some weird shit sometimes.

The X, $1,000.00 and it still has the cord with the six month life span, no gtd. Oh, you want an iMac. It's just a $1,000.00 too, but you get a longer cord. No sorry, it's not going to last either. Now a lot of people tape them up when they buy them. Looks tacky though unless you use our iTape kit, 99.99. Somedude 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
