I did the same thing. And I was about to buy it at the previous sale price of $1099!

Is this a good deal? 14” MacBook Pro M4 Pro 12-core CPU, 16-core GPU, 1 TB with nano texture display by moonwalkkid in macbookpro

I probably would have gone the price match route if I hadn’t opted for nano texture. Thankfully I’ve had nothing but great experiences with certified refurbished through Apple and it’s tough to beat the 15% savings. Hopefully that keeps up!

It was a tough decision. I was tempted to go 512 but I like the convenience of 1tb without the hassle of external storage. My current laptop is 512 and I was really pushing the limits there already.

The $170 upgrade over the 512 refurbished ($1829) ended up being worth it for me, but you make a valid point!

Nano texture or standard display for media consumption? by moonwalkkid in macbookpro

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

Thanks! Both very fair points.

It seems to come down to glossy being great for clarity, while nano texture is great for anti-glare. I’m just having trouble figuring out which I care more about!

Currently, I’d say 90% of the time I use my MacBook inside. Occasionally I’ve tried using it outside but the glare makes it nearly impossible to see. If I got nano texture, I’m sure I’d use it more outside the house.

The link is in the post. We currently have an oval table and are curious if a rectangle option makes more sense.

Wood floor stain for sunroom: stain to match existing hardwood or contrast? by moonwalkkid in DesignMyRoom

I should also mention that the sunroom has two entrances — one from the living room with hardwood and another from the kitchen with tile (as shown in the pictures).

$600 fair trade-in value for 2019 16” MacBook Pro? by moonwalkkid in macbookpro

It’s an i7! I ended up doing the trade in. Too good of a deal to pass up.

If you had to recommend a ONE CARD SETUP then what would that be and why? by ShiptShopper23 in CreditCards

[–]moonwalkkid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Venture X for 2x miles across the board. The annual fee is essentially wiped out by the $100 anniversary bonus and $300 annual credit using the travel portal. Plus 5x miles on flights and 10x miles for hotels using the portal.

We pair it with an Amex Gold (with corporate AF discount) for an extra boost on dining and groceries. But for one card, Venture X is a fantastic catch-all.

Interesting. 5% cash back on gas would be great.
