Open apology to the Apple faithful

My open apology to the Apple faithful ....

After decades of steadfast devotion to the Machines, OS and Experience that evolved from Big Blue & Redmond's original inventions, last week Mr. M8o bought Mrs. M8o a MacBook Air.

After playing with the family's new toy, found the bash shell amongst other things, he was also heard saying if Apple were to make a notebook equipped with a +17" 30-bit ultra-wide angle ultra-wide gamut 16:10 IPS technology RGBLED screen like his HP 8740w has that is used for his photo post processing, he'd buy that Mac for himself.

Upon hearing such a devotee to the competing platform has in some part re-aligned his devotion, this week famed co-founder of Apple Steve Jobs said " MY WORK HERE IS DONE" !!!

...a thousand pardons to the Apple faithful...

 

I don't think I even understand your OP.

 

he's talking about himself in the third person, I think. Still can't quite make heads or tails of it.

 

He is all praises for Air, which I personally find discomforting since it is very non-upgradeable for basic things like RAM. I am only a fan of the MBP line.

Still a weird thread as he assumes all of us are some apple cult styled on the manson family.

 

he said... he finally kinda likes Apple and isn't so hateful of them... that he may buy one in the future if they ever make one with a screen he wants... so he made a joke saying Steve Jobs quit because he had finally "converted" m8o.

 

To get actual work done, the 8740W is a much more solid machine than any Apple notebook out. All the unibody MBP have such a poor cooling system, quad core and dual core i7 will easily hit 100C+ very quickly, won't happen in a mobile workstation.

But I'm with the others, confused post.

 

got it. that's sort of funny.

 

This thread should be rated 'terrible'.

 

Yeah I actually "got" that part and that's the exact part I find most offensive about it. I don't at all appreciate the term "Apple Faithful". I happen to know people that love Harley Davidson bikes and swear by them but I wouldn't go to their forums and use the term "Harley Faithful". I wouldn't even use the term "Dell, Sony or Windows faithful" on NBR. It's suggesting that people here have one track mind and are part of some underground cult. It's only a computer.

I'm willing to bet that most people here use other brands of computers daily as well as Apple's, although they may prefer Apple's.

Ah, agreed. If only NBR had the rating system that Macrumors has I would've voted down the OP.

 

First of all who is the write of the OP is it Mrs. M8o or Mr. M8o. Secondly MBP 17 has a wonderful non IPS similar resolution 'WUXGA' screen and its weight is 3kg's.

The screen is generally rated as much better than the commoners and you really have to see it to believe it.

I dont know about the bit rating on that display.

 

Really? Was it [my OP and alluding to Steve Jobs leaving because he finally converted me] that bad of a joke, really?

This went over fairly well over on Pentax Forums.

 

It was extremely poorly written, and didn't make much sense. With a better execution, it might have been passable. The grammar issues literally make it unreadable.

 

You now know that apple "fans" or trolls (who knows?) are very hard to please...

 

Been getting all of my actual work done for the last 2 years on a MBP.

So yea. Try again.

 

He didn't state that it wasn't possible to get work done on an MBP. He stated that the Elitebook is a much more solid machine to get stuff done on.

The thermal design in the MBP line is so bad that I am inclined to agree.

 

I switched from an elitebook to the 13 air, lol. I didn't need a workhorse, so I'm fine with my decision. I have noticed that the fan revs up on hard tasks quite a bit though.

 

its still subjective, yet stated as a fact.

 

I didn't understand a thing you said but ok.

 

You're not alone.

 

Works for me and has been for the past four years.

 

The Thermal design on the MBP is fine. I've run SC2 on ultra for like 8 hours on a 6750 MBP and not gone above 70 celsius.

All you have to do is turn on SMC fan control to 6000rpm and macs in general have perfectly fine temperature control.

 

As I understand it, he wants us to buy a Canon camera.

 

Now that was funny!

 

To get what "stuff" done? Office work? Movie editing? Sound editing?

Aside from intense graphical work (i.e. rendering, gaming for hours), I've yet to see my MBP fans spin up to above barely audible levels in OS X.

 

First Person:
The only reason I'm posting in this thread is to point out how excruciatingly painful it was to read the OP.

Third Person:
The only reason V_Chip is posting in this thread is to point out how excruciatingly painful it was to read the OP.

 

Although I wholeheartedly agree with how painful it was to read or even comprehend with the OP, why was V-Chip reading the OP in the first place?

 

V_Chip was reading the OP to see what all the "Who-ah" was about

 

Ok, that's enough...learned my lesson. Quite an interesting contrast has been drawn between here and another place I posted this exactly worded thread. I wonder what the age comparison of the poster is? I'll stick to the forum where there's no failure in comprehension, and the responses by the community are instead welcomes and posts about their own discoveries of the positive virtues of the Apple platform and Mac OS when they began using it.

Hadn't been to NBR for months before this; not for any reason like this, but just that the few forum sections & threads I'd frequent got old. Frequenting this section is a complete non-starter now tho as I'll have no respect for or interest in what many of the contributors here will have to say. I'm gone. Modz, this thread needs to be locked.

 

If you have nothing useful to post, kindly don't post. I'll leave it at that, and lock the thread as requested.
