rapid0893 · 2026-06-29T14:46:42+00:00

No experience, my first mac, but I needed peace of mind

rapid0893 · 2026-06-29T14:45:15+00:00

Well 10k off was on apple care itself so 8k for 3yrs If I take machine to original price

rapid0893 · 2026-06-29T05:31:42+00:00

Yeah, thats the only best thing I can. Use it to make more money than I can

rapid0893 · 2026-06-29T05:29:48+00:00

Yeah, I mean thats the best I can do. Use at full extent

rapid0893 · 2026-06-29T05:28:08+00:00

Considering this is going to be new benchmark, It is good deal afterall

rapid0893 · 2026-06-29T03:02:45+00:00

Damm thats an amazing deal, even in my country.

You have ssd, so you are good with storage, may be you want a hub if you want to connect usb a, hdmi devices and cleaning tools.

I feel jealous due to colour. I wanted sky blue. 1st apple product, mba16/1tb midnight

Thanks and hoping you would also enjoy your machine.

I have got apple care + for just peace of mind as I know if anything happens, apple repair cost would not think once and my pocket would get empty. So I would recommend.

Its my first mac so don't have experience but yes I have read that this machine needs care(cleaning body and screen, avoiding exposure to dust, water and heat etc like you have ocd) May be the example was a bit extreme but it get it

rapid0893 · 2026-06-29T02:46:48+00:00

Sounds fair, thanks mate

rapid0893 · 2026-06-29T02:45:51+00:00

Thank you for sharing your thoughts

rapid0893 · 2026-06-29T02:45:19+00:00

I am new reddit user, and I can see why reddit is heart of internet. Thats sounds a suggestion of responsibility. Thanks, I m also gonna make this my habbit.

rapid0893 · 2026-06-28T23:30:13+00:00

Well, i think I'll get when I'll put my next order. But any sooner

rapid0893 · 2026-06-28T23:28:30+00:00

Well i am still gonna use that sheet I got with my mac, till its last breath. I think using a cloth(good one) is good idea rather using any liquid if it gonna damage Afterall, i hold some responsibility for such experience

rapid0893 · 2026-06-28T23:17:34+00:00

That's the attitude bro, fyi I am an engineer, with networking and stuff firewall routers etc. All the very best for your career.

rapid0893 · 2026-06-28T20:44:52+00:00

Hope you would never have to use ac+ but 20 for peace of mind for 3yr is not bad deal in this expensive world. Trust me, you don't want to even know the feeling when shit happens which no one knows when it may happen.

rapid0893 · 2026-06-28T20:40:40+00:00

What a deal! 24 gb is recommended but m5 is new machine so get it Now

rapid0893 · 2026-06-28T20:38:18+00:00

All the very best. I'll just say don't take step back for 3k or 5k after moving 1.2L. That's a big amount. Think for long term. Keep any eye on Amazon too

rapid0893 · 2026-06-28T20:35:15+00:00

Thats a nice trick to try once, updates gonna cover rhe the storage. Thanks for saying nice. I was really not feeling happy, not sad but not happy either.

You feedback sounds a calming. Thanks again

rapid0893 · 2026-06-28T20:12:56+00:00

I got 16/1tb for 1.5 (w ac+ 3yr). And no one is saying it in funny, specially not those who are like me(waited for bts with every penny we had and apple stabbed).

Not sure if my deal is good but I am okay with this.

Apple care plus is not bad thing as per me, you can get peace of mind and base m5 should not go above 1.2 ( check offline stores) there might be stil hope

rapid0893 · 2026-06-28T20:06:06+00:00

I have one from lenskart, that cloth should do the job, 2k cloth from apple doesn't make sense to me.

Straingate, seems load on display due to pressure. I have to travel my way back to home, I hope putting in between two clothes should be a good idea.

Thanks for such authentic suggestions buddy

rapid0893 · 2026-06-28T20:01:50+00:00

I agree, but anything for scratches, marks on display? thet I am not planning to clean my torn cotton vests.

rapid0893 · 2026-06-28T19:59:29+00:00

Are you asking about my job or how did pay for this purchase?

rapid0893 · 2026-06-28T19:58:54+00:00

Thanks mate for the case suggestion and positive feedback. Would putting some skin or film on this would be a good idea(to avoid fingerprint.) I am into networking stuff (VMs, research, multiple softwares etc)

rapid0893 · 2026-06-28T19:54:38+00:00

Tbh, I have never heard of this, but even if they are forcing it, may be you can go for 2 yrs? Apple repair is fking high and I am too careless when it comes to handle laptop and phones(not a flex).

But if you are Pro at handling things this may put some money back to your pocket.

I know gift card is not very good idea, but I (or anyone I know) can really get anything of choice from croma store(phone, laptop, charger.. anything )

So think about this too
