M4 Max Studio ordered

[Black_Mage]

I received my $350 store credit today, so I placed the order for a Mac Studio. 😄 Before buying, I double checked the refurbished section expecting only to find M2 and M1 Studios. To my surprise, I found a M4 Max with the exact specs I wanted. That was additional $300 discount. Since I already budgeted for a new one, I decided to add a USB-C keyboard and trackpad. The only device I’ll have with a Lighting port now is my iPhone 8+ that I keep as a backup phone.

The only annoying thing is I couldn’t apply my Apple Account balance to my purchase until after I removed AppleCare. I’ll just have to remember to buy it after I get my Studio ASAP.

Don’t shy away from the refurbished section. You can get really good deals there, and those devices are thoroughly tested before being sold. Shout to Apple for the Trade-in option.

One more thing. Yes, I checked the buyer’s guide before ordering.

Its a chonky boi to be sure, Tbh though, the studio is the premier dekstop from apple that most consumers/prosumers can and will get imo. The Mac Pro is really a niche machine given its high cost. I think Apple knows this since the Mac Pro last saw an update 759 days ago.

Is it overkill for me? Absolutely. Do I care after getting a $650 discount? Hell no! 😆
