YMMV, but when I got my iPad I realized that my "mobile" needs were only contempt consumption and my MBP was used as a desktop computer connected to a 32'' monitor. So every time I renewed my laptop the expensive screen went with it, and I had to pay for another one that I would be using as a second screen!
Thus, my current workhorse is a Studio.
- alexgoodhart 1mo agoI almost bought a studio a couple years ago, but I was starting a PhD and so I figured I had to prioritize MBP. These prices make that decision so bittersweet. I feel so shut out from being able to use AI as economic productivity without being able to take on debt for a local-inf capable mac studio
- pantulis 1mo agoLast year I was able to justify a 128GB/1TB M4 Max Studio for 4600€. This cycle's M5 Max with 128GB/1TB goes for 6219€. The M5 has to be obviously a better machine, but it's now above the price point I would pull the trigger for. Guess I got lucky in the futureproofing lottery this time, anyway.

- pantulis 1mo agoMy contempt consumption is reading feeds, books and sheet music, and some casual games... ... and a lot more social media I'd like to admit.
