yeah but if you actually cared enough to reply back multiple times, you might as well provide some support if you'll make some claim like that (ie M1 is faster than M2)

Buy the 1TB version for $100 more or go to another MC store in another state

Same thing happened to me. Bought a return and got 10% off. Came in Apple Certified Refurbished with 2 cycles. Called Apple and got the warranty reset to 1 year. Fantastic deal

If someone happens to buy one from your store and then return it, you can get an even better deal on this. I got an additional 10% off buying an “Open Box” version of the refurb (return policy is 15...

...at exactly one type of test, sequential access at that, only. At random io the two are about the same.
This I agree with. Crossover 23.5 Beta with Apple's new DirectX12 porting...

Okay. I will admit I was wrong.
I found this.
Apple used four 128GB NAND chips used in the M1 Pro 512GB MBP, but only used two 256GB NAND chips in the M2 Pro 512GB MBP.
The M1 Pro 512GB...

Hold one first if you haven’t already - the 16 is big enough that the chassis flexes a little, it feels less solid than the 14”/smaller. Also the 16 is huge even vs the 14, much more so vs an Air. I...

I think by now most people are pretty familiar with the facts:
The M2 is a nice jump faster than the M1, CPU and GPU. Around 20% for each. Not massive, but if it’s a choice between each, the M2...

Please provide a (written) source for “2x speed” of base M2. In all things, or in just sequential disk IO, which isn’t nearly as important as random disk io, which is about the same between the two?...

Base M1 14" SSD has 2x the speed of base M2, M1 unit has better cooling system (doing a quick research will explain). At full throttle M1 14" runs 10C cooler than the base M2 14" even when the M1 fan...

You have been misinformed, the 14" M2 uses single channel 512GB SSD as well.

Why you keep saying that? Are you aware the only M2 that is *slower* in some task is the M2 with the 256GB HDD.
The base 14 M2 comes with 512GB hdd and it is not slower in any way over the M1....

Why? Granted, the youtube kids found that one particular disk test among many, sequential disk IO, is slower on the base M2, but that random IO is faster, and the CPU and GPU are about 20% faster on...

People need to stop buying this until the price gets lowered. It’s almost 2024 and a 2021 laptop at this price is not a good deal. This should be at max 1k.

Yeah I really like that deal too, would have returned mine if it was in Silver. I really like the Silver color as Space Gray doesn't age well.
