Ignoring the many, many reasons this is going to be taken down very shortly, the specifications are a joke.
The "HacBook":
1600x900 display
"Up to" 8 GB RAM
Sandy Bridge i5
"Up to" 1 TB HDD
My factory 2013 MBP, to which this is supposed to be equivalent:
2800x1800 display
16 GB RAM
Sandy Bridge i7
512 GB SSD
Come on [whoever is behind this]. If you're going to distribute hardware prepare a really nice laptop running Ubuntu or Linux Mint and sell it to geeks with hardware support.
- 2bitencryption 10y agoLooks like this is intended mostly for macOS developers on a budget. And at ~$350, if you expect it to match your $2500 mbp spec for spec, you're crazy. I would still never buy one in a million years, though.
- udp 10y agoI wouldn't expect it to match my MBP for that price, but the webpage specifically says it does. > HacBook Elite has the same hardware specs as a 2013 MacBook Pro, for 1/3 the price.
- duaneb 10y agoIt probably matches one of the lower tiers—note the indefinite article.
- zephyrfalcon 10y agoMaybe they are comparing it to the non-retina MacBook Pro, as described here: http://www.geek.com/apple/psa-non-retina-macbook-pro-13-inch-is-a-terrible-purchase-1575317/ http://www.geek.com/apple/psa-non-retina-macbook-pro-13-inch... (which does have an i5, regular HDD, and 4GB of memory)
- adium 10y agoThe last non-retina Macbook Pro is from 2012 though. http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#MacBook_Pro http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#MacBook_Pro
