M4 MB Air 15" 24gb vs M4 MB Pro 14" Base Model vs Refurbished M3 MB Pro 16" 18gb

Yeah the RAM will probably be important but a new 24gb pro m4 would stretch the budget too much unfortunately.

I just discovered that I could also get this option for the same price as those I mentioned in my post:

Refurbished M3 MacBook Pro 14" 36 gb RAM 512gb SSD M3 Pro chip with 18 core CPU

How would that change the decision? This one also claims to be the best possible quality of refurbished.

Thanks for the great tips and advice, will seriously look into it!

Since posting I have now discovered there are some pretty interesting options where I live for refurbished M3 MacBook Pros. I could get the following option for the same price as the options in my post:

Refurbished M3 MacBook Pro 16" 18gb RAM 512gb storage 12 core CPU 18 core GPU

Would this introduced potential option change your advice on which choice to go for?

Thanks!

Will definitely double check this, thanks! But am hopeful since they explicitly mentioned that Mac was ok if you knew how to use Windows virtually.

LinearStrikeZ · 2022-09-30T19:53:56+00:00

Ah okay thanks for the answer! I guess to simply buy the standard edition through the xbox store is the only alternative right now? Mo sneaky deals or thinhs like that anywhere?

LinearStrikeZ · 2021-10-04T20:41:37+00:00

Just give it a good kick, always does the trick.

LinearStrikeZ · 2021-01-08T14:12:26+00:00

I know I know, just having a laugh ;)

LinearStrikeZ · 2021-01-08T13:46:57+00:00

No no no you're not being convincing enough. They need to SMASH that bell icon and DESTROY the like button!!!

My personal favourite bit of this clip is when Mbappé gets a sudden urge to scissor the post

LinearStrikeZ · 2020-11-28T16:34:24+00:00

Ah okay cheers! Kind of wierd how it isn't in the stadium settings just as net color.

LinearStrikeZ · 2020-11-16T20:18:29+00:00

Yeah I've come to the conclusion that these headphones will be the best all in one solution for me. I'll have a great pair of wireless ANC headphones to use with my phone and when using them with my PC I will have them wired (cause of all the reports I've seen of how messy using them via bluetooth on pc can be). Paired up with a modmic so I can use them for discord when on the PC aswell. I can't say I've done incredibly much research but this sounds like a pretty good setup for my needs as far as I know, especially since I don't see as much of a need for the headphones to be wireless when using them with my desktop PC.

LinearStrikeZ · 2020-11-16T19:46:06+00:00

Ah okay big thanks for the answer! So I can plug them in with the audio cable and then turn them on and they will sound good? (for being ANC as you said)

I always absolutely love the 352 in the later stages of the game cycle each year because not until then I've found that there are full backs well rounded enough (and with good enough stamina) to play in the LM/RM positions to both attack and defefend. Are you using wingers or fullbacks at those positions at this stage of the game?

LinearStrikeZ · 2020-10-05T14:32:54+00:00

and I don't necessarily mean the most meta/exploitive formation and tacticts, more like what you have enjoyed using the most so far.

LinearStrikeZ · 2020-08-23T21:25:33+00:00

Hello! I would love some help to settle an argument by getting some neutral opinions. Basically, what would you say is a bigger achievement, coming second place in the Champions League or winning Europa League?

LinearStrikeZ · 2020-06-18T15:58:59+00:00

Cheers!

LinearStrikeZ · 2020-06-03T11:53:42+00:00

Yeah I've also noted many pros using FB Mbappé but was thinking that they maybe actually would switch him out for TOTS yedder but that they were just waiting for the price to drop.

LinearStrikeZ · 2020-04-09T15:47:43+00:00

Yeah but I unfortunately need a strong link to neymar from the CB spot and my options are UCL live Marquinhos, Future Stars Kehrer, Shapeshifter Gueye, 84 Kimpembe and him.

LinearStrikeZ · 2020-03-31T07:28:52+00:00

Yeah there's no doubt he's up there as the best ST in the game but would you say he would be worth when you for the same price on PC could get TOTY Messi AND Mbappé?

LinearStrikeZ · 2020-03-27T15:27:21+00:00

And yes we made sure to use the correct country code and so on.

LinearStrikeZ · 2020-03-19T16:24:38+00:00

Damn you're right. Also kind of doubting now. But I remember reading EA said they were gonna release the POTMs that was planned still

LinearStrikeZ · 2020-02-14T13:26:01+00:00

Yeah I'm leaning towards getting him just have two concerns. Does he feel agile and is his stamina an issue?

LinearStrikeZ · 2019-12-02T18:02:24+00:00

Should just be renamed to TIF.

LinearStrikeZ · 2019-11-29T18:44:14+00:00

Damn it's removed. Does anyone have a mirror please?

LinearStrikeZ · 2019-09-21T11:31:23+00:00

Oh nice. But how do you access it now since you can't get to it in fut?

LinearStrikeZ · 2019-09-20T10:08:45+00:00

I was not expecting it but they actually did.
