257Loner 11/27/21 8:32:48 PM #2:	You already have a 13" M1? Man, these things cost $2000 brand-new. Is there a Black Friday or Tech Tuesday sale in your favor? I had a Macbook back in college that let me surf the web, word process, and listen to music, and computers haven't done more for me since. The only thing the 14" new Pros can do the 13" M1 cannot is incredible multi-threaded performance. But are you a wedding photographer? Do you need that? The cheapest laptop is the one you're already using. --- "Cloud will strike the final blow against Sephiroth, and whisper into his ear: pwned." - E_S_M_Z <cite>257Loner posted [p:960409531] in Thinking o...

I bought several of them, but left about $1500 to pay without gift cards. I paid for the rest with a credit card that extended the warranty by 2 years and also had a good signup bonus.
