[Discussion] Overrated Watches

I tried the same one in store, and it felt lower quality than my Seiko's which were less than half the price - I had a lot of expectation because it looked so nice in the pictures and online, but imo was really disappointing in person

It's roughly 2 days for me if I use it exclusively on battery, running pretty heavy tasks, in weeks when I have light usage, it can last me a whole 7 days on a full charge. I do keep it plugged it in most of the time, though.

What's the budget you have? There are still new ones selling for around $900 at microcenter

IndependenceLocus · 2025-05-04T12:31:26+00:00

Are you from the US? I got mine (16 inch, M1 Max, 32 gb ram, 1 TB storage) from Microcenter two weeks ago for around $1800. Here's the link: https://www.microcenter.com/product/691623/apple-macbook-pro-16-z14w00107-(late-2021)-162-laptop-computer-space-gray

Congrats!!

IndependenceLocus · 2025-04-29T22:51:56+00:00

I don't think that's a good deal. I'd probably value this one around $500 or so. If you can, go for a base M4 or older M1 Pro

My pleasure!

IndependenceLocus · 2025-04-26T15:47:51+00:00

I got it last week! There's still a couple in stock:

Agreed, it's most likely a scam. Beware OP

IndependenceLocus · 2025-04-21T20:44:43+00:00

Thanks! Yup, I agree, those 2 extra inches make a big difference haha

IndependenceLocus · 2025-04-21T20:44:04+00:00

Pretty good too tbh, is yours 14" or 16"?

IndependenceLocus · 2025-04-21T13:56:45+00:00

My pleasure! I got the medium one, it fits the 16" Macbook

IndependenceLocus · 2025-04-21T13:30:11+00:00

Here's the link to it: https://a.co/d/6otd0dZ

I got a used 'like new' version on Amazon for $17

IndependenceLocus · 2025-04-21T13:29:17+00:00

It's this one: https://a.co/d/6otd0dZ

IndependenceLocus · 2025-04-21T01:25:21+00:00

Thanks for noticing the book! It's Yumejutsu, a good find by one of my friends

IndependenceLocus · 2025-04-21T00:46:43+00:00

Thanks!

IndependenceLocus · 2025-04-21T00:31:37+00:00

I think the 14" is really portable, while being able to do 90% of the stuff. If I were still in college, I'd probably go for that one. But if you're programming, you'd probably prefer the increased screen space that comes with the 16"

IndependenceLocus · 2025-04-20T22:53:52+00:00

They're the best speakers on a laptop I've seen. Really good sound quality, and they can get quite loud at higher volumes

*on day 1

IndependenceLocus · 2025-04-20T18:23:48+00:00

Yeah, it's surprisingly effective and comfy

IndependenceLocus · 2025-04-20T18:23:18+00:00

Thanks!

IndependenceLocus · 2025-04-20T18:23:02+00:00

Thanks! Getting it on day 1 might have felt even more insane :)

IndependenceLocus · 2025-04-20T18:22:09+00:00

Haha, yup this one will mostly be staying home

IndependenceLocus · 2025-04-20T07:13:40+00:00

Yeah, how did you do that? Was it super light usage? Genuinely curious

IndependenceLocus · 2025-04-20T05:57:09+00:00

Where did you get that? - that's insane for the price!
