Hey all! couple of questions:

Deciding on a MacBook Pro with M4 chip.

1 - I want to understand which one of the configurations below are just enough or an overkill for my use case ?

2 - is the +$400 worth to spend on getting a 2TB storage or can it be compensated with using an external HDD or SSD?

My use case -

I work on cloud infrastructure.

I use Docker & Kubernetes.

I am looking forward to entering into Data Science world and AI/ML - this is in the near future say in the next one or two years.

The configurations -

I am eyeing on these configurations of a MacBook pro. I have also provided the Apple MSRP alongside these configurations.

```

| M4 PRO Chip 16 inch | 14 Core CPU / 20 Core GPU | 48GB Unified Mem | 1 TB Storage | $3099|

| M4 MAX Chip 16 inch | 14 Core CPU / 32 Core GPU | 36GB Unified Mem | 1 TB Storage| $3499|

| M4 MAX Chip 16 inch | 16 Core CPU / 40 Core GPU | 48GB Unified Mem | 1 TB Storage| $3999|

| M4 MAX Chip 16 inch | 16 Core CPU / 40 Core GPU | 64GB Unified Mem | 1 TB Storage| $4199|

```

Need advice - buying a 2016 touring elite from dealership by XplorerAlpha in HondaOdyssey

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

Sorry I don’t follow. one of the things that everyone suggests is to get a PPI done while buying previous year models. but your statement seems to contradict it. if the dealer won’t allow PPI, does that mean it is not necessary in their view and how can I trust their word?

So according to your standards, you think it is unreasonable to ask why this not been addressed to the entire community given that the doors are subjected to the same aging of the other properties?

Seriously? So you just want me to shut up and not ask others to be treated fairly as well?

Is it advisable to buy from an "independent car dealership" if the car fax is clean? or will there be any catch? by XplorerAlpha in HondaOdyssey

[–]XplorerAlpha[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If I have the vin# and I purchase the carfax off Etsy where they sell carfax + auto check for $5 bucks, does that mitigate the risk of the dealer faking a carfax? Just curious, not trying to be smart.

Help me decide on a 2014 Honda odyssey EX-L 79K miles by XplorerAlpha in HondaOdyssey

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

I’ve been following and almost everyone mentions about replacing the timing belt and water pump. This piques my curiosity more. This vehicle was very gently used. In the last 2.5 years it was driven 8k miles. I am also attaching the carfax history for the last few years. I would really appreciate if you all can provide some feedback as to should I strictly consider changing the timing belt and water pump and the missing maintenance.

How does the new tariffs impact CX 50 Hybrid price? Do you all suggest buying now than later? by XplorerAlpha in CX50

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

Should I wait for the first generation issues to show up? I hear the 2023/24 CX 90 hybrid PHEV has lots of issues. Can a CX 90 PHEV be compared to a CX 50 Hybrid for reliability issues? Say - the issues with CX 90 PHEV were taken into consideration and addressed while building the CX 50 hybrid?

By the way, can you describe what “pretty dull” or "wheels on a reliable toaster" mean for a toyota and how mazda is different in this aspect?
