Today at Macworld we bring you another delightful instalment of One - Sided Comparisons . This instalment is brought to us byGizmodo ’s Alex Cranz and we ’re desperately looking for a way to return it but the delivery someone threw down a smoke grenade and fled the construction .
“ Samsung Finally give Us the Laptop Apple Should Have . ” ( Tip o ’ the antler toPorthosJonandDavid . )
Really ?
No . Not really .
Samsung ’s gone and done it guys .
It got engage ? !
( By the way , is it just to the Macalope ’s ear or does “ Samsung ’s Gone And Done It Guys ! ” speech sound like the most horrifying Broadway dance reappraisal ever ? )
It ’s made a dead wonderful laptop that retail for under a grand …
Oh . scrub the registry order .
… is of exceptional quality , and is neither under - powered nor teem with stinky conclusion .
I will now confute pretty much every nice thing I just tell about this laptop simply by list its features .
We ’ve been busting Apple ’s balls a bunch lately …
Gizmodohouse style usher , yo . [ Inexplicable finger’s breadth star sign that is not any known mob augury . ]
… and it by all odds has everything to do with my four - class - old Macbook Pro being on its last leg and my refusal to spend $ 2500 on the paltry - ass rising slope that is the current Macbook Pro .
Yep , you get ta get those MacBook Pro complaint in before the new ones ship . Good timing !
… Apple ’s been amble along with a Cartesian product so long in the tooth you might misidentify it for an older relative who enunciate inappropriate things at family gatherings .
If you ’ve had a brain harm that makes you incapable of distinguishing object from people , sure . Please give munificently to the store To happen A Cure To Not Being Able To Tell A Laptop From A Person ( FTFACTNBATTALFAP ) .
Meanwhile , there is Samsung .
Which , at the peak of its innovative prowess , has given us a simulated aluminium Ag plastic laptop with black paint . How do they do it ? !
Yeah it ’s bigger than the laptop computer we normally favour here at Gizmodo …
Or here on Earth , really .
… large enough that it feels clunky scuttle and closing and take a crap use of the 360 - grade hinge .
Stop .
And at 5 pounds for the 15 - in , it ’s heavy enough to be used in your daily workout routine .
Yet it ’s also got a 1 TB surd private road
STAAAAAAHP .
Is the rationality it ’s call the “ Spin ” because it has one of those spinning tough disk drives that everyone is so hot for these days ? The C.P.U. and graphics card are n’t under power , but a spinning intemperate driving force can make a huge difference in performance .
It ’s a half pound heavier than the 15 - column inch MacBook Pro and it’splastic . Bra - vo , Samsung excogitation squad . However , in the interestingness of a free and capable exchange in the marketplace of ideas , allow the Macalope to cite Cranz ’s answer to vexation about the Spin ’s crapplastic plate :
… appearance is n’t everything you jackass .
Ah , touché . [ Raises brandy snifter , adjusts ascot . ]
appearing might not be everything , but it is something . More importantly , design and strength are also thing . As someone who has owned both , the Macalope can state categorically that a unibody aluminium MacBook is simply worth more than a plastic Windows - based look - alike . Consequently you have to make up more to get one . That ’s how that works .
For a Windows machine it ’s exceptional .
That about says it all .
“ As far as hitting yourself in the head with a hammer rifle , this voiced , squealing clown hammer is far good than the testis peen option . ”
Samsung ’s also let in an ethernet porthole .
Samsung : A thousand yeses for every yes .
This is the perfect machine for you . It ’s what used to be the bread and butter of Apple and Dell .
No ! Wrong ! Apple never made a cheap piece of crap like that . Is that our ocean trip of find here ? calculate out that Apple does not make cheap laptop computer ? If so , then true . congratulation , you ’ve broken their top secluded computer code .
