is everyone happy with their macs?

no, don't buy one - they're still trash

mac pros cost as much money as a car, and everything other mac product is still hot garbage

Just in case we forget that mac pros are idiot computers for stupid people, a maxed out mac pro costs $53,948.00 USD american yankee dollars

and that's with the optional wheel addon, of course. Still no screen though, that costs extra.

And when you buy a mac pro, you get a ~PrOfeSsIoNaL~ computer that you can use to signal that you are a ~CrEaTiVe Professional~,

features you can enjoy:
- wrecking your IT budget
- an OS that gets worse with every release
- backwards compatibility? Lol not if you're using xcode or any developer tools
- software that you can also get on the PC, except for maybe xcode
- paying $400 for wheels to put on your computer
- depending on macports or homebew for literally anything productive as a swdev
- "think different"

ok if the mac pro is a "scam" what should i use to develop my unity3d iphone shovelware games. my criteria is it compiles ios apps quickly and it has a real gpu that can handle good graphics.

bottom-of-the-line mac mini (maybe pay for a RAM upgrade), external GPU, external SSD, third-party monitor

for me it's more of a "gently caress apple, don't give them your money" kind of thing, not a rule 36 kind of thing
