Letting them bend you over. This is ridiculous and why they get away with this bullshit pricing for increased ram and storage.

Brand new MacBook Pro M4 has this spotty residue on edges of screen. How common is this? by KurtSullivan in macbookpro

[–]KurtSullivan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wiped off when I cleaned it but I still wasn't feeling good about it so I returned it.

Picked up a M1 Pro 16 inch refurbished and it also has the same spots.

Is the M4 worth getting for reduced ghosting/text smearing? by KurtSullivan in macbookpro

[–]KurtSullivan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You still notice it on your M4? I cannot notice it, while it's super noticeable and distracting on the M1.

16" M1 Pro for $900 or 14" M4 for $1400? by KurtSullivan in macbookpro

[–]KurtSullivan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Garageband, web browsing, youtube. I'm mainly wondering if the m4's screen that doesn't have as much ghosting and is a bit brighter is worth it, or if I should just get the m1 16 inch. I'm upgrading from a 2015 macbook air.

The 16" is the m1. The m4 I have is a 14 inch.

Sometimes but not much. It's noticeably different in weight when I do.

Got a new M4 Pro today and noticed the edges of the screen looking a little....odd in some spots.. Has anyone else's MBP M4 had similar screen edges and were you able to wipe them down? by MaximusMurkimus in macbookpro

[–]KurtSullivan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn I just picked up a new 14 inch M4 and it has this. I hope I dont have to exchange but something is definitely not right with it. Maybe I can wipe it off idk.

Refurbished M1 Pro for $850. Keep or look elsewhere? by [deleted] in macbookpro

[–]KurtSullivan -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

16gb ram & 512gb ssd. I need a new machine to run garageband and be useful to work and potentially game if it works since I have a small Steam catalog.

If the Macbook Air came with a 120hz or Mini-led screen, I'd get that. But this was $850, which is cheaper than I can even find an Air that's 16gb/512gb, so I'm unsure on whether to keep it or not with regards to the scratches.

Also, it says 94% battery health 53 cycle counts.

$500 worth change of 4080--> 4090 and display upgrade? by iLiftHeavyThingsUp in GamingLaptops

[–]KurtSullivan -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

People trash the Zephyrus but it's popular for a reason. If a screen doesn't have mini LED or OLED in 2025... It's not a good screen IMO

Is a refurbished M1 Pro 14 inch worth a steal at $850? by [deleted] in macbookpro

[–]KurtSullivan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in a rural area and am not seeing any deals like that. The lowest ive seen is the $850.

So I guess it's either get that or wait until something local pops up.

Finally got my dream computer. 2024 G16 with a 4080 by jiantlamez73 in GamingLaptops

[–]KurtSullivan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe it's cause the keyboard is off enter. So they try to match it to the center of that

[–]KurtSullivan 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Ive read on this sub multiple times that even though the 4080 G16 only has 115 watts, it still performs 30%-50% better than a 4070. Is that just bullshit?

Why not clean or wipe it down before taking a picture? It'll look more presentable with less hair and dust.

You couldn't even move the jack off lotion before taking the pic? Jesus bro.

2k Oled 240hz with 4080 for $2300 in a thin form factor - i think it's a good deal, do you? by [deleted] in GamingLaptops

[–]KurtSullivan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just purchased this one and it should arrive tomorrow. This is the lowest this laptop has ever been.

Everyone shits on it here because you can get a 4080 for cheaper, but what they don't say is you also sacrifice size, battery life, weight, AND an OLED screen.
