Okay I see this time and time again. 

 

"I am going to buy a MacBook Pro 15" for botting because I can afford to/ I love Apple products/ I want to look like a pretentious ********"

- User

 

My advice?

 

Buy a PC. Everytime. 

 

Let's see what I can buy for the same price as a typical MacBook Pro 15" stock specs.

 

MacBook Pro 15" with retina display price: $2,199.00

 

My Pre-built PC: $2,004.00

 

 

The Specs of my PC: 

 

Case: In-Win GRone Full Tower Gaming Case w/ Integrated Fan Controller, Front USB 3.0, & EZ-Swap HD Dock

Lighting: 12in Cold Cathode Neon Light (Blue)

Optical Drive: LG 14X Internal Blu-ray Burner, BD-RE, DVD+RW, 3D Playback Combo Drive

Coolant: High-Performance Coolant powered by Koolance (Blue)

CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-4770K 3.50 GHz 8MB Intel Smart Cache LGA1150

Liquid cooling: CyberPower Xtreme Hydro Liquid Cooling Kit 240MM w/ XSPC Rasa 750 RS240, Dual Fan(CPU & GPU Liquid Cool Capable, Extreme Silent at 18dBA)

FREEBIES!!!: GRID 2 Gaming Coupon, Batman Arkham Origins, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Blacklist, FREE $150 Value In-Game Hawken, Planetside 2 and World of Tanks (2 x $75 Value In-Game)

HDD: 120GB Samsung 840 EVO Series SATA-III 6.0Gb/s SSD - 540MB/s Read & 410MB/s Write 

HDD2: 1TB Western Digital Caviar Blue SATA-III 6.0Gb/s 7200 RPM HDD

RAM: 16GB (8GBx2) DDR3/1600MHz Dual Channel Memory

Motherboard: ASRock Z87 Extreme6 Intel Z87 Chipset DDR3 ATX Mainboard

Network card: Intel Pro Gigabit 10/100/1000 Network Card

OS: Microsoft® Windows 8 (64-bit Edition)

PSU: 750 Watts - Corsair RM750 80 PLUS GOLD Certified

Sound card: HIGH DEFINITION ON-BOARD 7.1 AUDIO

GPU 1: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 2GB 16X PCIe 3.0 Video Card

GPU 2: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 2GB 16X PCIe 3.0 Video Card

 

Decided to go with the above SLI combo as I hear it out performs the GTX Titan which is an $800 GPU!

 

This PC would play ANY game on ultra high settings in a 1920x1080 setup. You would have the fastest boot up time with the SSD boot, I went with Windows 8 on this build because some people like Windows 8, I don't but yeah. Once you overclock the i7 this PC would run well over 20 bots smoothly. And when I say overclock I'm only talking an extra 0.5GHz which won't harm the CPU life that much. The PC would also run very quietly even while playing games. Not to mention you've also managed to get TWO brand new games for free, $175 worth of credit for a few games AND another game on top of that as well! Whilst also saving $195 which will allow you to buy a nice monitor as well if needed.

 

Remind me again why anyone would want to pay that price for a MacBook Pro when you can get this system for CHEAPER? Now to see what it would look like as well and in my opinion looks better than any Mac.

Why would you bot on the shittiest Apple laptop l0l

You're better off getting a shitty pc laptop and getting an expensive VPS... When you buy a macbook you just pay for the chrome on it..

I can run 5 bots on my macbook pro fine. At the same time, I'm running 15 bots on my pc and all are still at 100 FPS. My pc costed a bit more, but I'm not using even half the RAM and my CPU is only at 36%

 

I didn't say you can't run multiples on a macbook, what I was getting at was why pay all that for something that won't run half as many bots as this beast would. And I saw your PC you bought and it is pretty sweet.

Mc book is worthless really. Your paying extra 300-500 for something for the name. Bet u could get the same pc for like 1200

Maybe you should have compared the macbook to a laptop instead of a desktop. A desktop will out perform any laptop obviously, you also didn't include the price of a monitor. I still agree though that a pc would outperform a macbook when comparing laptops to laptops

Specs on your pc?

The point was not the comparison in terms of it being laptop vs desktop. It was expenditure and what you can get for it I was explaining. Rather than taking everything at face value (as everyone does with Apple products) you can see that for the same amount of money you're getting so much more in terms of performance. As for the monitor you can pick one of those up for less than $200 and it will always be bigger than a 15". 

I never said that (lol my username is killing me)! By the way, this seems to be you attempting to show off then anything else... You're the pretentious one! This thread is true, sure, but it's a really stupid, unnecessary thread.

People only pay b/c a mac looks fkin sexy.

You are still skewing the comparison by comparing a laptop model to a desktop model. The difference wouldn't be nearly so much if you were comparing it to a laptop

You're true about "buying it for the name" part but macbook looks more beautiful though imo.

People buy MacBooks for other reasons besides the performance/specs. People buy them because they look sleek and professional and girls think they're 'pretty.' Even though I am against buying things based on looks, I get what you're saying. Macs are basically made for editing/video production. Most of the people who hate on Macs assume that the people who buy them are in the same situation as say, a PC gamer.

My friend was deciding on a computer to get, I told him to void away from Apple products, and he ended up purchasing a MacBook. He's regretting it now three months later ^.^

I got a mac, i run 1 bot makes little sound, but if i turn on 2 it sounds like an airplane, but if ur gonna buy a mac just to play RS and stuff, its a really good computer

I use a MacBook Pro and i like it

 

EDIT: The user above said about the fan making noise i have this fan control thing that you can speed up the fan so then your comp doesnt heap up. Only thing is that its make some noise.
