TW: Proprietary Talk me out of this, into this, or offer an alternative. No I won't switch to Windows or Linux.

Spend all of it on a racoon theme park and food. Or just all of it on food. Then take out a loan on everything and spend it on more racoon food

What is it about Apple that makes chuds seethe so much? Is it envy?

To add more salt in the wounds of these chuds… did Apple just BTFO all the chud's iToddler bullshit?

>Dismantles arguments about how Macs are useless because "MUH VIDYA"

>Dismantles arguments that iPhones are walled gardens as many methods of sideloading existing

>Explains how ARM architecture allows Macs to perform better than competing Windows devices while using less power

>Explains the entire history of Apple devices BTFOing the competition

>Explains how repairability is the fools strawman issue

How do (You) refute all these arguments? They literally actually have the brain to back their arguments up instead of the chud "iTODDLER" + red hair tranime pics.

>inb4 sage

>inb4 DURRRRRR ITODDLER

>inb4 someone says Linux is superior because muh schïzo privacy feature or like that

Actually refute these arguments… I'll wait.

Macf@g

buy a normal windows laptop

Porsche, Mac Pro, video production

Just full of bad decisions , huh?

ARM is cool, go for it.

Then put Linux on it

If you have money to spend then ofc buy a quality laptop that has actually good battery life and isn't built to have the hinges snap in a year. "but huh soldered ssd and ram!" modern Lenovos, dells, hps, etc all do that too lmao. MacOS is my fav looking and feeling OS even if Linux lets you do more out of the box !applechads

The new Macs are fricking incredible. Could you get a cheaper non-portable Mac or do you need to be able to work on the road?

I have $11k to play with

What does this mean? If you have lots of money and $11k is just your throwaway money budget then sure. I upgraded to an M3 macbook pro recently and it's really nice. MacOS does everything that Linux is good for if you don't care about the neurodivergent parts. Nice build quality, silent, and the battery lasts forever. I recommend it or maybe a cheaper model if you don't need an M4. I don't know anything about video production or what the requirements are though

Don't listen to moneylet windowscels who think dealing with a shit OS every single day for years is worth saving $1k.

I feel like having a new, more powerful computer will inspire me to get back into it.

Stop lying to yourself you know this isn't true.

I have the one that's one step down from this ($2500 and has slightly less RAM) and it's a ridiculously good laptop.

You probably don't need to spend the extra thousand bucks on it unless you're doing something memory intensive (video editing maybe?) but they've got the memory integrated into the processor now, so forget about upgrading it ever. If you think you're going to need it, you better get it up front.

If you don't need an m4 the older models are way cheaper and still fast as frick. Definitely get the 14 inch pro though.

>1 tb SSD

I know it's not just apple, so there's little you can do, but it's wild what laptop manufacturers get away with. should be at least 4 for that price

with that said I think you should buy it because it would be to my financial advantage

M4 Max isn't worth it for your use case.

Get the M4 Pro 16 instead.

I don't see the point in 14" unless you're a project manager in which case you'd have a Thinkpad.

16" all the way.

Next year I'm getting Space Black as well.

how about you give it to black people instead of wasting it on toys you fricking racist

I think you should use that money and hire a maid. We all saw your sloppy living quarters, disgusting slob

Spend it on a Vision Pro instead. They're cool as shit if you like watching movies and don't have a good theater setup.

I'd get more memory personally, especially if you are going to do video production.

It's a 3k laptop don't do it

>no i won't switch to Linux

Cute twink

Just get it.

A few years ago a Surface Book with Windows 10 Pro was a viable alternative for a high end work laptop for developers or creatives.

However, Microsoft have shit the bed completely in terms of hardware and software since. What have they got that competes with current Apple hardware? Nothing.

And there's nothing in Windows 11 or even latest Windows 10 that makes it a good OS for productivity anymore.

I got the baby version of this for my new job recently.

I hate Mac OS, I hate their interface. It pisses me off to no end. Fortunately my new job is mostly done via web browser so I can live with it.

If you're set on one of these I will add some caveats that might push you to a cheaper model. The thing is fricking tiny and my fat man hands are not suitable for its micro keyboard so you'll probably need some peripherals. It only has USB c input ports so you'll need a Dock, a keyboard and a mouse because trackpads are useless garbage. The 14 inch display is TINY so the fancy nano texture shit is almost meaningless. You'd be better off getting a decent monitor to use with it.

None of those things I listed are particularly expensive except maybe the monitor but think about that when making the purchase. Tiny laptops have drawbacks to them.

Hope that helps fam

Get the 16". The screen is too small for Lightroom on the 14".

If you're buying a m MacBook just make sure you get the most expensive processor/ram combo cause if you get less than that they basically neuter the chip architecture and you don't get as many lanes or some shit. I don't know how expensive your spec is, but the tier where you get the most bang for your buck is actually the highest tier on these.

I have a 16" M3 Pro. Best laptop I've owned by far, dewwit.

My previous 14" M1 Pro was more convenient for carrying around, but the RAM was inadequate and it had a distinct lack of ports to use. Those nitpicks have been fixed in the one you listed.

Please do not spend that much on a laptop you do not seem to care about without substances, friend

Edit: Cars are better dood

install gentoo

Waste your money however you want. You can charge some gay couple a few thousand for one wedding shoot to make up for it.

Have you factored in Photoshop & LR pricing? And AE / Pr video?

You most likely also need an external drive, cause 1 TB will not last you long with projects.

Ill tell you the same thing I say to marketing. Get a proper desktop with all the bells and whistles you want. Windows is better but if you want limited choice and no access to business netwoks then use the Mac.

If you really want something to travel get a cheap laptop and remote into your work horse PC.

>he fell for the "mac is for artists" meme

a photographer with a porsche... hookay buddy

Whatever, it's a good computer and an investment.

@BWC 14" and black

Treat yo self (hopefully to something not made by apple), king

if you're going to max out the specs why the frick are you going for the 14" model

Just get one if you have the money to spend, they're alright laptops terrible repairability though and dodgy build quality sometimes

You know Macbooks are overpriced, but this one might be overspecced. You need the RAM and storage, but you don't realistically need a 14 core CPU.

Macstrag

Buy $3.3K in Kaspa and you can buy several MacBooks soon.

Send me 2000 dollars and Ill give you advice on a 1000 dollar laptop

I like Dell Latitudes but yeah they are not as cool or as capable as most Macbooks.

Alternative: suicide.

They should pay you to have apple intelligence installed

Shit you want bsd on a laptop I can build you one for like half the price

Switch to Hurd
