Holy shit you weren't joking.
That looks like the "gaming" laptop I used to get back almost a decade ago. In fact, I'm pretty sure that's the same shell, minus some of hte company logos.
Windows comes with a linux bash
>dysfunctional piece of shit
Sounds just like their windows app

I could understand your comment, if you were using one of the more bare-bones desktop environments, but you were using KDE. It works exactly like that on KDE.
There's been big improvements for HiDPI in the latest version, 1.16.
That's not always true on Linux, depends on distro and the like.
And what Linux users and a 60-year old woman (for example) for whom computers are a mystery considers hard differs quite a bit.
Installing a distro and using what's there is easy enough. Adding new stuff can sometimes be a massive pain in the ass.
Not that Windows is great either, mind you.
The DeltaE on apple screens are usually epic out of he box. You might have a dud. Did you use a spectrophotometer to calibrate?
Always for all my devices.
I have a Schenker, which uses the same body and it looks much much better in real life (I really like the angled looks). Looks really bad in pictures.
Linux tends to work rather well on Macs. It's a single piece of hardware used by many people, so there's lots of people who make sure that everything works nicely. There's also not too few developers who buy Macbooks, just to put Linux on them.
The point is that running OSX on non-Apple hardware is a real hassle. So, you kind of have to switch software, if you want different hardware.
It's really not about whether someone can or cannot afford SD card reader. If the new iMac didn't have SD card reader, no problem. The location of card reader is inconvenient anyway and a cheap SD card reader solves the issue no problem. But this is a laptop we are talking about here. Laptop that *needs* number of dongles to be useful.
GIMP just isn't easy to use even if you know it. I was doing something in Photoshop last night for the first time in months, and probably the most complicated thing I've done in over a year. After about 2 minutes of confusion due to trying to do things the GIMP way (which I use at work all the time for editing photos since I don't have Photoshop) the Photoshop workflow came rushing back and I remembered why GIMP just sucks.
This, I've used one with 4k, xeon and 64gb ram. This is better than some of the old servers running in the colo. I may try the p70 as 4k on a 15" I have to adjust the dpi which still gives me tons of screen real estate but I'm hoping I can see 4k on a 17" at 1 to 1.5 feet away
eh. I mean sure they've progressed but they still all have common problems too. Worse displays, worse trackpads (or just a lack of gesture support due to Windows), OEM installed bloatware, and then there's just the stability of OS X vs Windows. Again I'll put this more into the opinion category but as an avid fan and user of the surface lineup and heavy user of both OSes, I've had a lot more trouble with stability on Windows than I have on OS X. I even think this is perfectly fair though. Windows has to run on a lot more hardware, an infinite number of hardware configurations really. So you end up with a bunch of funky problems, particularly when you're upgrading to a new OS. The benefit to this scenario though is that there's a lot more hardware competition in the Windows hardware ecosystem, so you're not paying $5,000 for a machine with 16GB of ram. Usually.
What intended use did you have in mind? As a graphic designer, Studio should be just fine for what I need to do. This isn't meant to be used by editors or 3D artists who may need more GPU power, but I don't think Studio is marketing itself towards that demographic.
I did spend mac kind of money. I got hit with the famous Vista 4GB ram problem, along with a lot of driver troubles with my sound, network and graphics drivers. It was a disaster.
The new bash on windows is spectacular! I ran my companies entire backend locally on it (need to for development) and it worked great!
But yeah, after using OS X for the past 8 years I can't stomach how horrible the Windows UI is. W10 is an improvement over W8 no doubt, but the font, lack of gestures, total and utter lack of standards for application UI, it's just.... worse

>I remembered why GIMP just sucks.
Whoa - easy there with your broad sweeping brush strokes.
>just sucks
Open source software that has a vast majority of features that Photoshop has? No cost to the end user - letting them get into graphic design and begin creating content for free? ...but it 'just sucks'?
Once you know the GIMP workflow - it becuse much easier. I know you say you use it to 'edit photos at work', but when you start to use it for other tasks and learn the workflow - you can switch between the two very easily and find a *ton* of similarities.
I've worked for places doing graphic work that required us to use GIMP - it's *very* powerful and is *far* from 'just sucks' - the free part is just icing on the cake.
I like photoshop - because tutorials and stuff abound... easier to find answers to questions - but GIMP has a ton of features too, some of which I prefer over the photoshop counterpart.
But to say it 'just sucks', is uneducated and foolish.
As opposed to "hunting down" .exe's to install Skype on Windows?
"Might" haha this tells me you are in denial phase and will soon transition to acceptance phase and soon (over next couple years) will buy another Mac
Bought a PC desktop and an XPS 13 in the last 3 days. I used Macs in the 90s, too. I've seen this movie before.
No, it has 4 TB3 ports, which can also be used as USB ports.
Same here. Went to Hackintosh a few years ago due to lackluster pro desktops, and now laptops are out of the question.
In comparison to Photoshop, GIMP is worse in just about every way, it is a poorly designed program. There is the major issues like not supporting Lab and CMYK colour spaces. It is all the stupid little shit like the clunkiness of the type tool, how pasting a selection doesn't create a new layer, but rather a "pasted selection", how clicking inside the window will bring up the last used tool (no, I just finished with levels, why the fuck would I want it again?), etc.
Yes it is nice that it is free and provides all these features, but it doesn't excuse it from being a terribly designed program. There is no excuse for not fixing it by now, there is other great Open Source graphics/editing software out there (Inkscape and Darktable come to mind), none of them quite match the professional equivalent, but they are decent. Unfortunately there is nothing that acceptably replaces Photoshop.
But a mac is a pc.. :/
A printer, actually. All my prints are weird.
My Galaxy S5 was actually used for a last-minute hail-mary adjustment and was more accurate.
> or 3D artists who may need more GPU power, but I don't think Studio is marketing itself towards that demographic.
They literally demo'd 3D modelling on stage.
It is one more thing to keep around. But I haven't had any trouble with $10 USB 3.0 readers, they are the same speed as the internal reader on a MacBook.
