How short-sighted of you. Computers are designed to handle tasks you throw at them. One of such, is entertaining me via a piece of software known here as a "game".
When I want to be productive, I switch to another piece of software known here as "productivity software" & throw it at the same computer. It is designed to handle both.

You don't have no ASUS G73 besides, how many fps do you get on that sh*t. . .
if u had mentioned a gaming desktop . . yes, i would have taken you more seriously, as it offers better productivity than even the latest Macbook pound for pound and still throws me 100 fps without a hitch . . . . . anyways don't bother to quote me pls, i only discuss with geeks

Lol. 1st, I don't really know what I stand to gain by convincing you I have a G73 ROG
2nd, despite been the geek YOU really wish to be, I won't rub your face in it.
The fact that I can do with a laptop what you need an entire desktop + a macbook to do should tell you that you still some distance to cover to catch up. Leave all these your "hello world" level coding & join me at the datacentre bruv

They are telling these macbook iFan screaming yahoos, don't even try. Your efforts are fruitless Apple (I hope you see the joke there).

if you had bothered to read your reply before clicking the "Submit" you would have seen where you shot yourself in the leg . . .
I don't really know what I stand to gain by convincing you that the "Apple is class" on its own
and that your GM isn't at par when it come to productivity . . .
going by your post, i belie you "have" the G73JH 17inch old version . . clocked at only 1.6GHz and 6GB of DDR3 by default . .
common man, i don't wanna get banned for nothing . . i would have told you something really nasty
even older macbook airs were clocked at 1.8 GHz and even 2.0 GHz by default ( remove turbo boost )
the short of it, pls join me at "github" n "stackoverflow" . . .

I stopped reading and started ROLLING when i read 1.6GHz / 6GB.......bruv bruv bruv....stop hatin'

Lmao. Good one. Let's forgive them and have their thread return to Mac support issues. They need the help....

Really, whats there to brag about? Buy whatever laptop you wish. . all are bound to have one issue or the other at one point in time and its up for threads like these to help support them.

There;s no perfect hardware in this world but depending on how good you care for it, it will last you a long time. I have had a mac since my first year in uni and 6years later i am still using it efficiently which is a good thing because my earlier windows only lasted a year and half. If it works for you, stick with it.

mtscheewww . . . . who is deceiving who ... ?

Emmmmmm....so people buy macs to show off affluence?
I've always said the average mac user here in Nigeria gets a mac simply for "effizy". Plus they ALWAYS feel the need to defend their "investment".


@makavele & @litaninja
Oya, you guys should kiss and make up (Not literally kiss o! Abegi)
To each, his own. This thread is meant for MAC related issues. Kindly stop derailing the thread.

In Nigeria, yes most people buy macs just for the "affluence" tag attached to it. But I got my mac cos windows sucks when it comes to
server administration. In fact, I have gotten so used to terminal/bash commands ; that I can no longer remember simple commands for Window's command prompt . . . It's better to run Unix/Linux natively on a Mac, than install a virtual box environment on windows . . .
