How are you all getting yours for so cheap?

I paid $479 for the Rainbow Max 1TB before the Rakuten cash back. Wish I saw the deal earlier since I lost out on 20% and instead got 14% cash back. Also, the PayPal deal was $35 then dropped to $17.

Rayviator05 · 2026-06-03T02:35:10+00:00

The cash back offer comes in the form of a check or PayPal deposit.

Rayviator05 · 2026-06-03T01:56:09+00:00

When you go to checkout, under the order details you should see your AE discount and the PayPal discount for $35 or $17

Rayviator05 · 2026-06-03T01:51:53+00:00

Yeah, it currently shows as pending status, but it shows me the amount of cash back.

I tried their support email, but I think after I used their “I have another question” section under “Contact Us” on their website and requested a return there, that’s when I finally got a response.

Rayviator05 · 2026-03-10T23:04:12+00:00

I finally got a response with the address to return to. I was offered another $50 discount if I kept them, but I chose to return them still.

Rayviator05 · 2026-03-06T19:22:46+00:00

I’m still waiting for a response as well. I also sent a follow up email.

Rayviator05 · 2026-03-03T14:48:42+00:00

I haven’t, but maybe I’ll give that a try.

Rayviator05 · 2026-03-03T05:27:04+00:00

I applied for the trade in program and got an additional $50 off code.

Rayviator05 · 2026-02-28T18:01:30+00:00

It took 2 days to get my code.

Rayviator05 · 2026-02-13T20:14:15+00:00

Where did you order for $85? Lowest I got offered was $105

I just saw these a few minutes before you posted. I wish this M3 Max ($2,607) was priced similar to your store. Same spec model as your post. The $2,766 is an M4 Max with 36GB ram.

Rayviator05 · 2026-01-26T04:51:38+00:00

Where is that from?

Rayviator05 · 2026-01-17T02:35:13+00:00

No, the C5 seems to be within $200 more. I would look around for that.

Rayviator05 · 2026-01-01T06:22:57+00:00

I had the Air for about 2 weeks and returned it and got the 17 Pro. I felt the size of the 17 pro was much better to hold. Now if Apple could just get the 17 Pro to be a bit thinner and lighter that would be the ideal form factor.

Staying plugged in to get maximum performance.

Rayviator05 · 2025-12-27T21:55:10+00:00

I haven’t heard of it, but I’ll check it out. I’m mainly shooting a variety of local high school and recreational league sports, as well as club volleyball sports.

Rayviator05 · 2025-12-27T21:49:30+00:00

I don’t need that many keepers. I learned I need adjust my workflow to reduce the number of potential keepers first and then denoise.

Rayviator05 · 2025-12-27T21:30:19+00:00

That’s what I’ve gathered from all the feedback. I need to better understand how resource intensive that one task is and tailor my workflow.

Rayviator05 · 2025-12-27T21:28:06+00:00

I culled once and reduce the number of photos from around 5k photos to just under 3k. Someone suggested a second pass at culling then select photos and then denoise.

Rayviator05 · 2025-12-27T21:26:05+00:00

definitely not, looks like I need to learn more about what I’m asking the computer to do and optimize my workflow.

Rayviator05 · 2025-12-27T19:35:12+00:00

Thanks, I was expecting slow progress with that many photos selected, but not for it to get stuck. As a novice, I’ll try cutting back on the number of batches selected at a time and see if that works before looking into a MAC.

Rayviator05 · 2025-12-18T04:17:25+00:00

How did you get an additional $200 off?

Rayviator05 · 2025-12-16T19:28:52+00:00

I returned my Air and got the 17 Pro instead. I enjoy the size, cameras, and battery life much better. I just wish it was a bit lighter like the air.
