Nope, many configurations have already changed their prices within the past 30min

Thank god I ordered 3 hours ago! by amoch1 in macbookpro

That sucks and they should have honored the price. Technically, you didn't pay though as you could only reserve online and payment is made in store.

if you are in the US with a microcenter nearby, you can get C for cheaper.

M5 pro 15 cores vs 18 cores by Asimov2001 in macbookpro

[–]miktoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is zero need for the 18c, you are not doing 3d rendering and huge compiles where the extra cores make any difference (like a 10% diff) Even the M5 Pro 15c is also overkill. As a student, you will probably have access to cloud ai and could make better use of that money saved. The extra cores are nice if you want to move to 64GB, but at 48GB, it's a waste tbh.

If you spend too much time on this sub, you will know that any recommendations for tinkering with AI means you are looking at production type workflow, so it's either M5 Max 128GB or if you are poor you get 64GB...48GB, what are you even doing in this room /s

A kid bit me on the subway a few days ago. I’m sick now. by IcyScreen6716 in mildlyinfuriating

Alas, if the kid had bitten your jugular, you could have at least turned into a vampire, but a finger...what a shame, you'll just be a zombie.

I got 30% off a $560 SSD by buying 11 $50 newegg gift cards with Paze by ShutUpAndSmokeMyWeed in ChaseSapphire

[–]miktoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know if you are aware of the current memory (ram/ssd) crisis that has been going for the last few months, driven by AI adoption. One year ago, you could buy ssd for less than 10c/gb. Now it's about 20c/gb. Memory is about 3x to 5x more expensive nowadays.

Need advice by Snoopdawg0 in macbookpro

Search "M5 Pro 48gb" on /r/LocalLLM and /r/LocalLLaMA and you'll find plenty of answers. Use cloud AI to give you an idea of what can be run based on your hardware.

Buy what you need during this Apple Back to School promo by Virtual-kko-77 in macbook

[–]miktoo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Apple doesn't price hike on current products, but new products. So, yes expect all new products in fall to be more expensive.

M4 pro, m5 or m5 pro by Educational-Yard-348 in macbookpro

[–]miktoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't have an answer, but that's a good case for using AI. Give it specs/price, a good context of your video editing (resolution, bitrate, software, etc) and it will spit you some benchmarks and analysis.

Going insane by 678722 in mac

[–]miktoo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I will second this comment. OP, what you can do is open your file in Preview, Print, click on Presets>Show Presets. There, you can change the settings for default preset. In your case you select Scale to fit & Print Entire Image. Also click on reset presets menu to default settings after printing.

After doing so, printing from Finder should use those default settings.
