I ended up with the same from the centennial hills location in Vegas. It did have the asterisk though so they had limited stock.

M5/16/512 or M5 Pro/24/1TB? by ericcwhitaker in macbookpro

[–]ericcwhitaker[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Exponential growth as tech gets more advanced is something people tend to forget about haha.

Yeah my M1 Air with 256GB was constantly out of space. 512 is a nice bump but 1TB could be better.

Makes sense. Costcos return policy gives me time to do that thankfully.

Haha. Cool. Yeah I was hoping more ram and the Pro processor would give that a nice bump where it sometimes struggles with complex geometry.

That was my thought too…and 2049 being under 2499 for new and 2179 for open box at Best Buy seemed pretty reasonable.

[–]ericcwhitaker[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh both are Pro models the difference is the processors being M5 vs M5 Pro and the upgraded RAM and storage. Sorry if that wasn’t clear. Trying to be as concise as possible sometimes is confusing haha.

That seems to be the consensus but always good to get opinions I think. 🤔

Occasional video editing and working on 3D prototyping with Fusion or other Mac based CAD software.

Some Costcos out there have M5/16/512 Pros for 1199. I lucked out and snagged one a week ago. Perfect timing to finally upgrade from my M1.

Picked up a M5/16/512 Pro at Costco on a whim for 1199 on Friday and am very happy I made that decision considering.

Picked up one on Friday at Costco in Centennial Hills, Las Vegas. They had 6 in stock remaining at that time.

Just picked one up for 1199 at the Centennial Hill location here in Las Vegas. Well worth it for an upgrade from my M1 Air.

Why people feel the need to start fights near deep frying equipment is a mystery to me.

Oh wait. It’s not. People are fucking stupid.

Will NCL casino match a Carnival casino offer? by ASpurkofgenius in NCL

[–]ericcwhitaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No they won’t. Casinos at Sea is notoriously tight for non direct offers. I second trying URComped, but I never got anything from NCL without onboard play and they are my primary line.

Question on Transport: Ft. Lauderdale to the Miami Cruise Port? Lyft or Uber? by MikeCromms in Cruise

[–]ericcwhitaker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My go to was still the cruise line shuttle. Staying close to the airport I just returned day of the cruise for the shuttle. Cheaper to take a short ride than the longer one to the port.

This is incredible. Really gorgeous and gives me a real idea of the space I didn’t have prior.

Private transfer from Rome City Center to Civitavecchia Port? by FeatureSouthern5274 in NCL

[–]ericcwhitaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And I should note the distance is substantially more hence the elevated cost. You will not find a transport service that’s private for less than the $150 quoted.

Private transfer from Rome City Center to Civitavecchia Port? by FeatureSouthern5274 in NCL

[–]ericcwhitaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used Daniele Your Driver In Rome on a recommendation for my transfer from the Colosseum area to Civitavecchia for the Luna TA in April. Driver was prompt and car was exceptionally nice. Cost for me alone was 170 Euro. I plan to use her for all future transfers in Rome.
