I think I got a decent deal?
Hey all, was planning on sticking with my M1 Pro 512/32, but I gave in. I found a deal, a new M4 Max base 14/32 1tb/36 with a year of Applecare+ with the option to extend it myself. Snagged it for $2500. Was originally looking at Pro chips but by the time I upgraded the SSD to 1tb and the RAM it was like $2400 and I got less RAM 24 vs 36 and 12 more GPU cores. Technically they're the same price if you added a year of Applecare+ to the Pro chip.
I know the M5 should be out soon, but it would be 6+ months before I could get one that cheapn probably. Think I got a decent deal, definitely more power than I'll probably use, but if it's the same price why not.
