Thinking about picking up a Macbook. What's the main differences between Macbook, Macbook Air, and Macbook Pro?

Air is stupid. Better to get the 13 inch Macbook Pro instead of the 13 inch air. Unless you have an autistic reason to get the 11 inch Air. The screens are shit.

Macbook is good for browsing, emails, composing documents or google docs, listening to music. Not good for anything intensive like Adobe applications or STEMfag stuff you might be into. The form factor is amazing, the screen is great, and the keyboard is actually pretty fun. Try it out at the Apple Store. The ladies will get wet for it too.

The 15 inches pro's have quite a lot of power. They get pretty hot, but the fans work pretty well and aren't as loud as you would think. Applecare+ is a MUST. Gives you a three year warranty, so if you are using it everyday and making quite a bit of heat it would be stupid to take the risk and not get it.

Can you elaborate on what "fun" means with respect to a keyboard? Sounds like you can't say it's good, but you wanted to say something positive.

The feel is just really satisfying. Sending emails and messages would be just as enjoyable as on a regular keyboard.

I'd really only care about the keyboard quality if I was composing something for several hours.

But mostly it's just novel and qt.

basically this, unless you really need the power and OS X on the go, and if you can actually afford it, get the 15 inch retina.

For people who have gotten Applecare:

1. Is it worth it?

2. Is there some sort of deductible or limit or what stops someone from just smashing their computer every day or just returning it when they see a small nick on the corner?

3. Can I buy a macbook from some other website or place like best buy or what not and just buy Apple care online? I assume I can but just want to make sure.

4. If you don't have an apple store near you is there any way to get a replacement via mail or something, what's the process on that ilke?

>1. Is it worth it?
I'd say yeah. There's no way to do an easy DIY if something breaks and most parts are pretty expensive.

>2. Is there some sort of deductible or limit or what stops someone from just smashing their computer every day or just returning it when they see a small nick on the corner?
It doesn't cover physical damage for laptops. If you really fuck it up you can file a claim with your home insurance (amusing you're not a poorfag) or just buy a new one

>3. Can I buy a macbook from some other website or place like best buy or what not and just buy Apple care online? I assume I can but just want to make sure.
Yes. You have 1 year

>4. If you don't have an apple store near you is there any way to get a replacement via mail or something, what's the process on that ilke?
I'm pretty sure you can go to an authorized 3rd party store because I had an iPhone battery replaced at one under warranty

The 13" Air is 1440*900, and the 2013 one can go over 11 hours on a charge browsing/chatting/programming, even with streaming audio. It's worth it, but only if you can get it $600 or less.

You literally cannot match the specifications in a PC laptop manufacturer.

And I'm not even counting things like their vastly superior trackpad functionality, or the genius Magsafe (seriously, how did it take so long for someone to come up with that?).

I'm just talking about having an equivalent Intel chipset, Nvidia hybrid graphics, and a PCIe four channel SSD. Oh, and 16:10 in a high PPI screen.

Enjoy your shitty, plasticky, bulky, poorly engineered pile of shit laptop while you cry yourself to sleep at night murmuring about how real users don't even use trackpads and how 1080p is enough for anybody.

pro is a real laptop, with an occasional dedicated GPU and somewhat reasonably powerful hardware in general.
Air is what most normies would want in a laptop, not a graphics powerhouse by any means but I've seen them run some stuff alright.
macbook gets out-benchmarked by phones, and wouldn't even earn coaster status in my house, it's a 1000 dollar netbook at best.

What will you use it for, anon? I am a software dev, back in 2011 I bought used Air 2010. I use it even today as I write this message. Never once did I have such durable piece of hardware.

Oh, and I forgot to say that if you even attempt to match actual specifications (i.e. screen resolution and video card, not just approximate resolution in a different screen size and some shit-tier GPU), you'll find that the Macbook is actually cheaper than the competitor.

Go compare the Surface Book to a Macbook Pro right now. The top of the line Surface Book is more expensive than a Macbook Pro, and not as powerful (not to mention heinous).

Don't worry, when you grow up you'll be able to afford actual premium products and upgrade from your fruit themed toys.
