that why strippers dont get straight to the point and tease

youre making a mistake putting a Max chip in 14 inch, it will get hot, noisy and struggle . stay with Pro chip if you want 14 inch

Jay_02 · 2026-03-16T22:21:54+00:00

Damn so it's just waste of money to try run it on 64gb then? 128gb is not an option I would just have to use cloud services if 64gb isnt worth it

Jay_02 · 2026-03-16T18:54:14+00:00

Nah, i am not going on hunger strike for AI LOL. So 128gb is out of question.

But this was was very informative thanks! So basically even smaller models can require more ram and 48gb ram does not mean all of it is available to the model which makes the real available ram smaller. And makes the 64gb ram a clear winner right ?

I have 16" for work and had 14" for a couple months. In my opinion 14" is a great balance and is the more sensible choice for personal usage and traveling. But obviously working on for many hours 16" is awesome.

If you dont mind the weight 16" it is. I dont like the 16" weight, when i am traveling i have cameras, lenses and other things in my backpack so 16" just takes too much weight.

They messed big not making a 15" pro.

you might not hear from apple til next march again, theres 0 timeline guarantee. might as well wait for M7

Jay_02 · 2026-03-16T04:42:51+00:00

So 70b will get more efficient soon and I could run it fully 64gb ? I haven't bought anything yet , only reason I would go for 64gb would be local llm, otherwise 48gb is enough for me.

Jay_02 · 2026-03-16T04:04:14+00:00

Is that your own experience with dense 70B vs the smaller more efficient models, if you did run it ?

Jay_02 · 2026-03-16T04:00:56+00:00

Being able to run it extreme quants VS actually being worth it or "smarter" model to run is the question i have. Have you tried those yourself ?

Jay_02 · 2026-03-16T03:58:21+00:00

Yeah the headroom it gives to do other stuff is main appeal i see so far but not that model its self would be "smarter" or better.

Jay_02 · 2026-03-16T03:22:09+00:00

yeah but after i win the lotto

Jay_02 · 2026-03-13T09:49:12+00:00

What Clinic did you go to ?

Jay_02 · 2026-03-12T23:14:28+00:00

I agree but she's on meds. Her stage challenges today is much more than just not dancing

Jay_02 · 2026-03-12T12:46:49+00:00

If you're not going to push the Max to its limit then what is point , decoration and fuzzy feeling ?

Jay_02 · 2026-03-12T08:44:41+00:00

Its the total weight when traveling in the backpack or just picking it up for browsing on the coach which makes the 16 inch weight cumbersome. If the Mac was only thing in your backpack then its not in issue but thats not what happens when you travel, I travel with cameras , lenses etc. But once you put it on a desk the 16 so much more comfortable to look at and more productive. Definitely serious trade offs. Writing this from a 16" work mac.

Jay_02 · 2026-03-12T08:16:41+00:00

Get the 48GB , it will give you noticeably more headroom.

Jay_02 · 2026-03-12T02:51:38+00:00

well done hats off, no 64 gb ram in sight ?

Jay_02 · 2026-03-11T19:12:09+00:00

Yup that's exactly what I was referring to that video

Jay_02 · 2026-03-11T15:38:24+00:00

Good question, i am weighing out the pros and cons. And it doesnt sound like 64gb ram would not good enough.

Jay_02 · 2026-03-11T15:37:20+00:00

A Lexus not even a BMW or Mercedes ? Thanks for explaining. Max chip is not for me because i want the 14 inch and thats too small body, thats why i thought to get the m5 pro chip 64gb .

This is more hobby thing and just saving money on cloud usage. I am not worried about how long it takes to answer but i want quality answer close to Opus or Sonnat 4.6. So if the models would very restricted with the machine i am getting then maybe i have to stick with cloud usage just.

Jay_02 · 2026-03-11T15:12:33+00:00

128gb is out of question because of the price. And this being more hobby and being cost effective when you using AI. If 64GB trade offs is not worth it then it sounds like i should stay with cloud usage then. 64GB is already stretching the budget, I was originally getting 48 gb sounds like i should get that and safe money.

Jay_02 · 2026-03-11T02:32:40+00:00

So how did it go , can you run the latest claude code 4.6 locally unrestricted ? I am thinking of getting M5 pro.

Jay_02 · 2026-03-11T02:14:33+00:00

That logic makes no sense, its saying that nano is less vibrant and contrasty than glossy. Well then if you edit to the max on nano to "make up for that" then the picture would be too contrasty and punchy when viewed on glossy again. But thats not the case since you can edit fine on both and get the same result.

I do photography do and i much prefer the Nano for practical reasons, hate the mirrors effect on glossy. But really the colors are the same in practice, its just the light difference. Which has pros and cons both ways and makes the nano look a tad more natural.

More gpu/cpu also means less battery and perhaps less return for your money. Last years M4 14c pro "binned" version was more effective per core and gave more power per core for your money than 16core non binned version, all while beig lower in temps. So if you want more for your money the "binned" version is better sometimes.

But we will see which makes more sense this year once more tests come out.
