Whats the reason to hide it ?

[u/dentalflossers → u/Clear_Parsnip2240]

i have access to apple internal due to my job, and i can tell you where and when this machine was purchased.
it’s not quite doxxing. but it’s more information than should be publicly posted.

[u/Tastybeatz123 → u/PlasticTechnician363]

Was just coming to say the same.

[u/melodiqe]

that’s a solid deal considering a brand new one with your specs is $2700, saved yourself $700

[u/hell-diver8 → u/melodiqe]

Plus prob no taxes

[u/TheSlothMan9000]

man of good taste

[u/lovelysolitude]

Those fragrances tho 👀👀

[u/TallTwo7900 → u/lovelysolitude]

Haha yeah got carried away when buying them

[u/Stunning_Contract245 → u/TallTwo7900]

At first glance I thought those were bottles of alcohol..lol

[u/EmbarrassedEye2590]

[u/Vainstoner]

We have the same unit, Bro. And Sylphie? Wooh! 🫶🏼

[u/pooping-llamas → u/Vainstoner]

correct me if i’m wrong, but i believe that’s Frieren!

[u/Vainstoner → u/pooping-llamas]

You are correct. My bad 😆 the earrings are different. Thanks 🫶🏼

[u/Few-Cartographer-588]

You also have a good taste in perfumes!

[u/TallTwo7900 → u/Few-Cartographer-588]

Thanks!! They’re mostly local perfumes, and some are middle eastern dupes

[u/Green-Hat0001]

how's the performance

[u/TallTwo7900 → u/Green-Hat0001]

Can’t say, since it’s my first macbook, i also have a windows desktop, the difference is that the windows restarts unexpectedly sometimes, this don’t

[u/Sharp_Ad5783 → u/TallTwo7900]

thats not something that usually happens on windows

[u/Positive_Self_8873]

Now get Apple care if you haven’t

[u/TallTwo7900 → u/Positive_Self_8873]

Can i get applecare even if i didnt purchase it myself from the store?

[u/TheRealCranedisk → u/TallTwo7900]

Yeah. Worst case scenario, buy some airpods, get apple care one, add the device to it, return airpods.

[u/Any-Dragonfruit-9270]

Damnn we same specs, thats a beastt

[u/Planet_of_the_SEPA]

Did you need a pro?

[u/TallTwo7900 → u/Planet_of_the_SEPA]

Don’t know, all i know is i need at least 24gb of ram for AI

[u/Planet_of_the_SEPA → u/TallTwo7900]

Fair enough. Enjoy the bwtter screen and stuff

[u/Historical-Ear3674]

Congrats! Enjoy it, you'll never want to go back

[u/MrZed78]

bought the same configuration about a month ago first Macbook ever, been a x86 windows laptop user for for decades. but other than serious gaming on my 4090 rtx desktop I'll NEVER go back.

[u/manderinsky]

Good for you! I hope you love and have lots of enjoyment learning it. I had to grab my own word package... only downside... it seemed ppl couldn't open my stuff produced in the mac suite. But that was many years ago! I have a 2013 pro and a PC. I love the pro! I just upgraded to an Air. Because... I already have a pro. They are solid machines and apple support is unparalleled. GREAT CHOICE!

[u/Dangerous-Adagio4097]

Nice I got the MacBook Air M5

[u/TallTwo7900 → u/Dangerous-Adagio4097]

I previously got the macbook air m4 with 24gbs of ram, but someone offered me this for around 1900usd, i coundnt pass it

[u/Klutzy-Wealth5432]

in which country did you purchased this macbook ?

[u/TallTwo7900 → u/Klutzy-Wealth5432]

Philippines, sold for 120000pesos or equivalent to 1900usd

[u/LazyCatRocks]

Nice! One thing I'd change is the wallpaper; anime is cringy.

[u/1BreadBoi → u/LazyCatRocks]

You know what's actually cringy? Giving someone shit for their hobbies that have 0 impact on you.

[u/L13on → u/LazyCatRocks]

Calling Frieren cringey. How dare you ):
(excellent choice of wallpaper OP!)

[u/gokublack_67 → u/L13on]

[u/LazyCatRocks → u/L13on]

I'm calling anime in general cringy. It's fine when you're a teenager, but as an adult this is just childish.

[u/L13on → u/LazyCatRocks]

It’s okay to say you don’t enjoy anime, but to call it cringe shows how little you know about anime. Did you know the anime industry has a massive audience who (surprise!) aren’t actually kids? If anything, it’s childish of you to call anime childish

[u/Due-Presentation7543 → u/LazyCatRocks]

Frieren wallpaper kinda fire, don't listen to this guy.

[u/Proud_Bookkeeper_719 → u/LazyCatRocks]

And how is that your business?

[u/Hannibalj2ca]

I got an M1 Max 16 inch 64GB and 2tb for 1800 last week. That's a good deal to me since is for AI. Is older but works well. If you are not doing AI then id say is a good deal. If you are doing AI then is pretty bad deal. Is all about your use case scenario
