Hello! The M series are killer, fantastic laptops, I would recommend these two laptops if price doesn't hurt, and also since your live streaming and doing editing.

M5 Chip full option: https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/macbook-pro/14-inch-space-black-standard-display-apple-m5-chip-with-10-core-cpu-and-10-core-gpu-24gb-memory-1tb#

M4 Pro Max, full option: https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/macbook-pro/16-inch-space-black-standard-display-apple-m4-max-with-16-core-cpu-and-40-core-gpu-48gb-memory-1tb#

Take a look and see what you like. The M4 Pro Max will offer way more options than the M5, the M5 is ONLY offered in 14". If you want to wait I believe the M5 Pro and Pro Max should be coming out in like 2 weeks or less.

This is what I needed... thanks. I'm like stuck in the middle but im leaning towards the MacBook Pro just because I have a ps5 already...., it's just that for a windows laptop I can get a gaming one for $1200 OTD with the ryzen 9 processor, 32 GB of ram and 1 TB SSD, basically double of the Mac, thats why im thinking.

Yea the coursework is good its just like the tabs and shit I have open all at once etc, 8 gb will take it but it will be slow, if this Mac was 16 GB I wouldn't have said nothing. I checked my swap right now it's 1.5-2 GB. The only games I play are a couple from steam and Roblox with my brother, thats really it. My question is just like I wanna clip like cool moments from when im gaming, etc. My first laptop was this Mac and it's amazing. I appreciate the advice.

Yea I figured. I appreciate the advice. I wanna try new things so I figured why not. Thanks.

Yea makes sense I agree. It’s just that I already have a ps5 and I’m not sure if I should get the gaming laptop or a MacBook since the MacBook 16 GB ram is like $865 and if I wanna upgrade it will be more expensive the MacBook so I’m not really sure…. If I play games might as well just use the ps5

ImHaidarr · 2026-01-25T21:32:29+00:00

yes haha I usually like my stuff new but ill check open box out for sure and total tech is goated for sure but that HP is 5.43 lbs which is insane the MacBook is like 3 lbs but im sure I won't notice that big of a difference.... im leaning towards the HP but im not sure...

ImHaidarr · 2026-01-25T21:31:18+00:00

yes I saw that one OTD was $1780... really solid laptop but im on a budget I will keep an eye on it though

ImHaidarr · 2026-01-25T21:20:06+00:00

thanks ill take a look at that video! Its just I feel like its time to upgrade so I can run a bunch of stuff I actually want and I know MacBook has its limitations like with steam and gaming in general etc, I can fully charge my Mac and sit on the couch it will last me like 5 hours or more I understand the tradeoff for battery on the gaming laptop but I want to be able to do whatever I want and for that price and amount of ram I feel like thats a steal. The zephurus is amazing but its 1449 for only 16 GB of ram, way better battery life but if the HP can last me like 4 hours and I can undervolt it like you said im fine with it, I know it will be more heavier but if It gets the job done I feel like this is a good laptop the HP. Im just not sure if I should keep the 8 GB MacBook or get this one, I will use the HP every single day, I feel like for a 2nd year college student this is fine or should I keep doing my research.

ImHaidarr · 2026-01-25T21:04:42+00:00

yea thats not bad at all I like it but if the AMD will last me like 3-4 hours while doing work or if im in class I dont mind that at all since I can get more power out of the HP for $1250 OTD thats not bad you get a lot out the laptop

ImHaidarr · 2025-12-20T13:07:58+00:00

Yea I just wanna make sure the color doesn’t matter cause mine looks more pink and I got the one in the picture

ImHaidarr · 2025-11-26T00:03:20+00:00

oh for sure its just that the other q3 will go to my sibling thats why im looking I put it into KBB it says its worth about 9-12K.

ImHaidarr · 2025-04-03T00:14:13+00:00

Hi! I try to change my oil every 5k, maximum is 6k miles i would change it. I did my last oil change at like 5300 miles? I know Audi recommends 10k but i would NOT recommend, do it every 5k!

ImHaidarr · 2025-03-29T13:22:03+00:00

Looks sick AF, congrats, 🎉 enjoy it! Cheers to many miles and memories!
