Parrotine posted:I don't think I can go the refurbished route TBH, i've heard (and personally experienced) too many negative experiences when going down that path. The only real problem with refurbs is you have to wait like 6-8 months for them to start showing up in the store and then you gotta watch close for a configuration you want, but they make trackers for that. I was under the impression that Apple refurbs we're actually better than new quality since they actually go over everything before selling it. My last 3 Mac purchases have been refurbs and I haven't had any issues and I've saved probably $5000 off of retail from them (granted the majority of that was on an iMac Pro).

Just drop 7k on an iMac Pro and stop worrying about upgrades.

The new mini has basically the same io as an iMac Pro which is pretty cool.

Normal user processor performance is nowhere near full utilization. We're just gonna see bigger batteries instead of billions in R&D to eke out 10% greater efficiency in a chip.

If you look at the design of the Magic Mouse you'll easily see that it's not really practical to put a charging port on either the front or back of the device. Since they were already retooling the machine mold for the bottom of the device to remove the battery compartment, adding the port there was the easiest solution. This also means that once every month you have to lay your mouse on the side while it charges for approximately 20 minutes.

OBS is broken on macOS and ridiculously CPU intensive. Idk what the fan system is like in the Mini or if there are any 3rd party controllers for it but you could try that, although I'd imagine if you were at 90 they'd already be at max.

Yeah I use iStat to monitor on my iMac. Streaming with OBS + Gaming I've never seen it get above 60 though.

I wonder how long it will take for these to start showing up on the refurb store. 15% off of a $18,000 system would be pretty spicy.

He's right in the fact that the most impressive things announced in the keynote were the little behind the scenes features that improve user privacy but he has the worst way of getting to the point.

There's no fixed keyboard. There's merely varying levels of broken keyboards.

The ARM chips are going to be more impressive than you think, and 90% of their pro machines are thermal throttled down to less than pro levels anyway.

The Pros don't have user upgradable ram, or at least not easily accessible, so that probably puts a 64GB spec out of your price range.

Generally the people who buy these types of machines are doing so with an expense account so they don't really care about the value of it.

I don't think Ives wants to design computers or cares about more money. I don't think anyone is going to hire him to make a rival laptop.

Seems like it should be pretty easy to determine if the issue with the keyboard is caused by the faulty design or if it was caused by water damage. Even if the stickers are triggered that doesn't mean it actually has any water damage.

You would have brushed the hardware escape button as well because you're fat and uncoordinated. Stop blaming Apple for all of your life's problems.
