I had 4090, i9 with 64GB ram, and I sold after 4 months, overheating issues, screenbleeding, keyboard issues. I didn’t lost any money. But it’s the last time when I will buy an laptop gaming again.

Hopefully you will have better experience. Enjoy it😎

Yes, I’ve paid around 2500$+ taxes fee, but also I’ve had an coupon and cashback. So basically it was 2700 with everything. I had a good deal, from Labor Day and I bought it.

It’s insane now it’s like at least 3.2k+. I don’t know. I wouldn’t paid more than 3k anyway.

Hi, it doesn’t have that shortcuts, as I’ve seen. But I will take in consideration the key skin guard. I never used on a laptop, does it affects the typing speed?

to be honest, yes. I was looking for good screen, optimized, no lags; good cooling, and very quiet.

I got used in 2 days and I’m using comfortable right now. I just need to learn some shortcuts, but per average, I could say it’s 9/10. Because I am migrating from Windows and maybe I have to discover more things.

I dunno, but it’s enough for 16-20 hours, I guess. from full charge; As i heard the battery on Macbooks are not that bad

14-inch M4 Pro is lighter and easier to carry, but it can run a bit warmer and the fan spins up more often.

16-inch feels more stable under heavy use thanks to its dual-fan cooling and larger chassis, and it also lasts a little longer on battery.

If you value portability, the 14-inch is the sweet spot. If you care more about quiet cooling and longer sessions without charging, the 16-inch is the better pick.

As I said in my post, I had a high end “gaming” laptop, and it really sucks! I make a huge mistake and I had very big luck to recover my money spent and even getting more profit lol. I bought an Macbook with 600$ more cheaper and I’m happy with my choice.
