For macOS you just use the Terminal emulator app like you would on Linux. You can also install and use other terminal emulators. There's not much of a difference between the interfaces on the low level, they're both TTYs/PTYs being interacted with.


I haven't been on in like a month. I don't live online.


There's nothing wrong with picking something else. This wasn't written in hopes of making someone buy a macbook, but moreso a review of it. So if someone were on the fence about it, they could refer to this review and decide based on what I think if it's worth spending money on.
I myself am not particularly stuck on a macbook. It just so happens that because I bought one, I could help prevent someone from spending money they don't want to, that they feel would be best spent elsewhere, or the opposite, maybe it's the push someone wanted to buy it.

At the end of the day, it's your money. I'm not here to tell you that you should spend it (in fact, I agree it would be better spent elsewhere). I'm just here to help justify whether you should or should not spend the money.


It's a different market than say a desktop. There's very little overlap between people who actively would like to modify and change out parts and people who want to buy a macbook.
You know what you're getting when you buy one, so it's very much at the users own expense how they spend their money. Knowingly.




Yeah, the 720p camera is definitely a deal breaker for some. For me, I don't personally use the webcam, so it's not a big deal. I would say though, definitely wait for a newer model with higher res camera if you do use a webcam though.




Oh absolutely. I've run into several issues with compatibility with the M1. I still love the chip itself, but it's definitely something a user should be aware of. It's just not mature enough as it is to be used across the majority of the macOS demographic. Intel based macbooks are definitely still worth the value you can get them for, and I would recommend them over the M1 if one doesn't want to deal with compatibility issues.

you seem so sad.

the thing with macbook pro is that you dont get true raw machine power that you need
if youre gonna have 20 browser tabs, 3 VMs, 4 bruteforce terminals, maybe an SQLi window,
you name it. what do you get instead? you get like high-quality programs, but I'd say those are more for
programming than hacking. its not the same thing btw.

you seem like a retard.

You’ve missed the point entirely; if you’re buying a macbook to begin with to “run 20 browser tabs, 3 VMs, 4 bruteforce terminals, maybe an SQLi window,” then you’re buying one for entirely the wrong reason (although it can do all of that without issue).

I also highly doubt that you specifically have the brain capacity to be doing any of that, so I don’t think that’s something you should worry about.

I would suggest stop being a blind hater; it’s not for everyone. I’m not telling you or anyone else that you should buy a macbook pro, nor that they are better than any other given collection of hardware. It’s not even my own main machine, it’s just a laptop that I use.

At this point, you’re not adding anything valuable to this thread, you’re just talking out of your ass.

post reported. for offensive language.

you dont seem completely satisfied with your computer either. it smells of eekiness and dissapointment,
maybe thats what Im reflecting from your own review? you bought that computer for $2000 + and now it wasnt as good as you expected?
