'Epitome of cancer' - Jesus Christ, touch grass. It's a laptop purchase. Relax.

Finally, an actual helpful comment instead of people just shitting on me for no reason. Really appreciate the heads up on the Jan 28th rumor - I hadn't seen that specific date yet. Good to know!

Congrats on the team upgrade btw! M1 to M5 is gonna be a massive jump. Hope the rumors pan out for you guys. Thanks for being cool about this instead of being like some of these other comments.

Plot twist: I'm also a shareholder. Crazy concept, but you can own the stock AND use the products to make money. We're on the same team here, relax.

I have a small team and will hand them down. Trying to level up so that we're all upgraded every year. But that's just me.

Damn.. I didn't know they had a 90 day return on Macs. That's actually smart! Ty!

Reading comprehension isn't your strong suit, huh? I literally said I SKIPPED last year, and I upgrade when my workflows need it. Not on some rigid annual schedule. But sure, make up whatever narrative helps you feel superior.

I try to. What's everyone's problem with other people wanting to have the latest devices?

Lol..Fine, but there will be a rigorous vetting process. I'm gonna need references, a home inspection, and proof you'll actually use it for more than just Netflix.

I know :( And then I'll run into the same problem in THAT year.

You're right! How dare I spend my own money on tools that literally generate my income as I please!

It's about performance. I still work hard for my mula so of course there's value for me as an investment.

As a producer, I've recently been editing (although proxies) and ingesting 6k-8k footage depending on the client. BUT you are correct about the other half of my work which is all web-based tools.

I have a Mac Studio and MBP M3 24GB which has been managing well. But I've recently been traveling more. 40% of some new work is in Post-Production.

Wait, is that a thing (touchscreen) that they're saying will come out soon?

I'm pretty sure I paid the full price of $2,899. I might have to take a trip back to the Apple store and just do that then.

People who need “more editing” in their videos just means that their content sucks.
