You do you bro. No need to come in the thread and explain yourself. Nobody buys a mac for gaming.

Productivity is very subjective. Old school .exes, you're better off with Windows, but if you're not living in the 90s, most things run in a browser these days.

Apple doesn't do that. Their formula is about 15% off the new price, even when the new price was years ago. It's not a great deal.

16" MBP on the secondhand market are selling for a song. Nobody wants Intel anymore, so if you do, you should be able to find many options.
Only 16" Intel MBP to get is the one with 5600M GPU. The rest have excessive GPU power draw issues when using external displays. It is kinda fixed in Monterey, but only if you run at 60Hz. I have a 2019 that has the issue and just run at 60Hz though my monitor can do 165Hz. Not an issue if you only use laptop display.

I'm guessing that is why people are selling those models cheap. That and the mostly useless Touch Bar making the machine less desirable.

Wow thanks for the info, I was looking at those older models on eBay but decided if I want a new one I am getting the m1 or m2 one. Thanks again for the info.

This is the exact config of my new work computer. It is a gorgeous machine. It was this, M1 Air or a Lenovo X1 ninth generation (not even latest 10th yet). I had an X1 before and this 14" Pro blows the X1 away except for overall weight.

I don't turn up the speakers all the way but they could stand to have higher volume overall.

I know! I am trying to chat now to get a price adjustment/refund. Should work out since I am in the return period. If not, I guess I can return and rebuy
Get a cc that offers price adjustment. Don't be a drain on society.

Unless he also buys a time machine he's not getting a price adjustment on that purchase

Quote from Kensic :
i call this BS til picture is provided. transfer speed of any interface on paper will never be achieved in real life PERIOD!
If you'd read any of the data points in any of the testing documentation links I provided, you'd know that *nobody* expects transfer speeds to achieve real-world speeds of 10gbps. The testing focuses on *relative* speeds: comparing M1/M2 transfer speeds to *multiple* other machines, including prior-gen (aka older) MacBooks. The testing establishes a *relative* baseline based on *real-world* speeds. Relative to *every other machine tested* the testing concludes the M1/M2 speeds are consistently and markedly lower.

Believe me, I'd like to "call BS" on the testing as well. I've used Apple notebooks and tablets for nearly two decades professionally and personally. I want the M1/M2 products to work for what I do but I need footage to transfer at the same *real-world* speeds as every other machine I use. I don't expect speeds as listed on paper, no rational person does. But, I think we all expect a 2022 MacBook Pro to transfer around the same speeds as 2018 MacBook Pro, or a PC Desktop, or any other USB-C 3.1 Gen2 workflow.

The post of mine you replied to contains multiple links to multiple data sets, all of which are consistent with the following documentation:

https://eclecticlight.co/2022/04/...3-1-gen-2/

I'm not sure if any of us provided "pictures" but there's lots and lots of *data* and it's got *nothing* to do with what's "on paper" but rather, what's relative to every machine's I/O capabilities in real-world usage. Every other machine does "x" transfer speeds while the M1/M2 machines consistently lag behind by 20-50 percent. That's inconsequential for some, but it's a non-starter for others. Nobody's saying you should not buy a M1/M2 machine. In fact, I love *every other thing* about the M2 Air that I owned for a week. But the I/O speeds ought to keep up with 4-5 year old Apple machines in rea-world usage, right?

I feel like I provided solid citations of really solid testing and data points. It was all right there. I've added an additional link, above. Best I can do.
