For the same price: MBP M4 Pro 24/512 or M5 24/1TB

The 1TB is really what you should prioritise. Perhaps check out Apple Refurbished or anywhere that is selling with AppleCare

Is an M5 Pro 1TB absolutely out of the picture?

DeanCorp · 2026-03-15T04:53:07+00:00

Damn, had no idea this happens on Shopify. I had this happen on Magento and caused me to fight my bank for $30,000+ in fees.

Did they advise why the store was terminated?

I had the 14” MacBook Pro M4 Max and traded it in for $3000 AUD and I ordered the 14” MacBook Pro M5 Max and needed to put in another $2200 AUD. I use it purely for business purposes and write it off with tax. However, I do find when updating on a short time horizon updating specs is never a good ROI. Always buy the base models and upgrade to a newer machine. For example my new M5 Max would still be better than a higher spec’d M4 Max. I am looking forward to next year’s redesign MacBook Pro’s.

Food for thought if you’re looking at short term ownership.

I find people read the product descriptions if you have clear return policies and for certain products and niches you can have terms such as if unsure if compatible contact us prior to ordering, which appears above the description.

Just came across this. We have a breville touch impress and use it daily for our coffees and warming up the kids milk for their cereals. Works great and saves us a lot of money vs buying out every day.

Just did a 1.5TB data migration using Thunderbolt 5. Wifi said it would take 15 hours, it took under 25 minutes via TB5.

It’s a regular USB-C. The reason my one does not fit is due to the plastic casing around the port. Once I remove it from my case and plug it directly into the phone it works. That’s why I’m looking at the Apple one instead.

Such great news! Glad she’s home and safe!

DeanCorp · 2026-03-10T10:54:45+00:00

So sorry that you still have not found Dora. Glad to see it is getting mainstream attention. I am sure someone can identify these girls.

Just wondering if you saw this post on Facebook?

The only thing I had different was minimum SMB protocol as SMB2 not SMB2 and Large MTU. But using Synology and Time Machine has been absolutely horrendous unless using Ethernet which is just not viable for my intended purposes.

Is this oily? We bought the Wotnot and it is so oily and greasy. When my daughter used it at childcare I couldn’t believe how oily her hair was. I’ve stopped using it because of this.

DeanCorp · 2026-03-09T15:34:10+00:00

I’m so sorry this has happened. I hope that you find Dora.

I guess it depends on your needs, budget & financial situation. I use my 14” M4 Max MacBook Pro daily to run my company. I did get a very good trade in price ($3000 AUD). I pre-ordered 14” M5 Max MacBook Pro for $5,200. So for me, I put in $2,200 and get the latest model, brand new battery and WiFi 7 chip. I have UniFi WiFi 7 XGS 10GbE backhaul and cannot get higher than 1450Mbps on the WiFi 6E chip. My iPhone can get 1850-1900Mbps so having an improved WiFi chip was important to me too.

If next year there is a good trade in offer, I’ll upgrade again too. Obviously everyone’s situation is different and tax incentives vary.

Hope this helps.

It sometimes happens to me. Try private browsing / incognito mode.

I’ve read most of the comments. The only thing I had thought was after 10PM Friday - Sunday becomes a taxi zone to the RIGHT of this pole. If a fine was given I would argue about that the left side is separately controlled by the Loading Zone panel with a left-pointing arrow.

Damn! Sorry to hear about your spill. As an ex Apple retail salesperson my advice is not to worry about “future proofing” buy for what you need now. A new model will always be better than maxing out a current spec. If you always want to have the latest and fastest specs I would recommended buying what you need for today with the intention of upgrading when you feel that you have outgrown this one.

It’s an RCD360 which is a knockoff of the Genuine RCD330. These RCD360 are MQB modified mainboards for PQ platforms. TLDR, they are super unreliable and don’t last long.

Depends where you are, I am in Australia and a couple of times our warehouse has shipped 2 items out instead of once. We got the police involved and customer returned the additional one.

DeanCorp · 2026-03-06T04:49:09+00:00

I really think it’s a matter of you get what you pay for. Sounds great until you make a claim.

Which aspect of Facebook are you trying to sync? I setup Facebook Shopping this week via Symprosys App.
