My Mac Book Pro is a complete POS.

I dropped about $2,200 on a new Mac Book this summer and it is honestly the worst computer I've ever bought. I didn't have any problems with it when I intitionally bought it but now it runs literally in slow motion. I'll be typing and the words will be four or five words behind what I'm actually typing, it takes forever to pull up web pages or download files, not to mention my programs crash all the time.

I don't have a lot on this computer, the only programs I downloaded on it was Microsoft Office for school and I barely have any saved files on it because school just started. I have no clue what changed from July to September.

The only thing I can think is when I started doing these updates that Apple started releasing is when my computer turned into an absolute shite. It is the First Gen of its model so I mean maybe I just got a lemon, which would be my luck.

The main reason I started this thread is when are we going to be released from the clutches of Apple? I've always had Mac's and iPhones, besides this Mac I've never had a problem with their computers but we all know iPhones are pieces of shite yet we keep buying them It's hilarious. They have the world cucked because they know there isn't any product that truly surpasses their product. Samsung has made leaps and bounds recently but I'd prefer an iPhone over a Galaxy any day purely because I don't want to learn a new preface.

Last Note...It's not porn bastards, everyone knows not to mix business with pleasure, watch porn on your mobile phones, not work computers. probably is why my phone runs slow at times

EDIT: its the 2nd Gen

Macbook Pro Model I have

You see I'm amazed that I'm having problems with this one because I had a MacBook Air before this and never had any problems with it. This one is a whole different story though.

Sounds like whenever you use your money elsewhere.

You dropped $2,200 on a laptop that you use for Microsoft Office and web browsing?

Talk about a waste of money.

For 2200 dollars you could have the best workstation at your home that money can buy.

Could of just bought an iPad Pro.

I've had mine for 8 years now. Best computer I've ever bought.

I went through 2 Dell laptops within 2 years in college, talk about a paper weight.

How so? You'd have to be an imbecile to not know how to operate a computer these days, I'm a millennial so I'm fairly decent with Tech.

I also apologize for about 95% of my generation.

Did you preset the diagnostic? If not, there's your issue. Macs are great if you set the diagnostic when they're brand new.

This is why I love the OT... people come here and spew complete bullshite...

You yourself are the cuck and have been cucked. You have a crappy product and say their other products suck too, yet you just keep buying their way over priced trash. You're not going to have enough in the bank by 30 if you keep blowing that money on crap. You realize a thousand dollar and less computer can handle Microsoft office products, etc just fine. I don't even feel sorry for you blowing 2200 on a pos apple laptop and it sounds like you still haven't learned your lesson...good luck, however.

I loved my MacBook Air that I used throughout High School, but this whore of a Pro is killing me. I'd prefer not to take it to a tech store because I always keep my Mac with me no matter where I go, you never know when you need it for school.
