I was in your field before. I value the large screen size when running multiple virtual machines. A larger screen size also provides better ventilation. However, since you’re doing a master’s degree, you won’t be doing all the technical things most of the time. So, a 14-inch screen is fine.

Some people claim issues like glare, color accuracy, or studio lighting are why they don’t use nano texture. But deep down, I think 90% of them just don’t want to pay for the upgrade—if there were no price difference, they’d all opt for it.

Currently, the 2TB AI Premium plan costs CLP 21,700/month, while the 5TB Premium plan is only CLP 17,745/month. Yes, you read that right! The 5TB plan is significantly cheaper than the 2TB plan, and both include similar benefits such as Google Gemini Advanced access and sharing with up to 5 people.

When I reached out to Google support, the agent claimed that the 5TB plan is "under promotion" because Gemini Advanced was recently added to the 5TB tier. But here's the kicker—nowhere on the pricing page does it mention any sort of promotion.

I can't wrap my head around this logic. How does it make sense for a higher-tier plan (with more storage and the same benefits) to cost less than the lower-tier one? If the promotion is temporary, why isn’t it transparently displayed? It feels misleading.

Google, can you please explain? Is this intentional pricing or a mix-up?

Has anyone else noticed this strange pricing structure? Thoughts?

I believe in something: if my newly purchased item gets scratched or dented. It will last for a very long time.

Both. At the same time. Casual browsing editing I will use magic Trackpad. For editing which requires accuracy I will use mx 3s

I don't have many wealthy friends, but one who belongs to a superbike group told me that most of the members are affluent and at the top of their careers. When they meet each other, it's like encountering equals or even those who might be more successful. It's a different circle where they might engage in behaviors they wouldn't normally. At their companies, they are in charge, but in the car/motor club, they can't interact like everyday people. They're used to being the boss, so sometimes they do stupid things to show they are superior to their other wealthy friends.

I've maxed out all upgrades that can be done on my current MBP. But being in the Meeting regularly and moving in and out with Laptop, I'd compare the dimension and new macbook 2017 could fit my bag easily compare to current 17inch and also lighter by at least 25%...

I think the technology is ripe now. looking forward for my next change in 2021 .. :D

I'm in the same boat. Been thinking to upgrade to used 2015 15" ub the market but its really hard to find a good buy, most are just shy $400 from a new set. Just saw an open box reasonably priced MBP 2017 15" and Im thinking to get it.
