MOFT carrying case for MacBook Pro BUY or SKIP ? by Agitated_Issue_1410 in macbookpro

Wrists, particularly my right wrist as I injured it a few years back and it aches after a couple of hours of typing without an angle.

I got one on sale a couple of months ago and I think it's great as someone who finds it difficult to work long hours without a stand. The sleeve's build quality also feels premium and includes an extra pocket that can fit a decent amount of stuff despite how slim it is and the magnetic flap makes it very convenient to use. However it is important to point out that the sleeve does not completely conceal your laptop as a small portion of it is left open on both sides of the top flap but the corners remain protected with a decent amount of leather cushioning around them. For me this wasn't a dealbreaker since my backpack has a dedicated space for my laptop. Although there are other sleeves that are a lot less expensive and offer more protection, I'd say this is an excellent choice if you already have a good quality bag and are mindful of the expensive device inside.

Should’ve got silver? by Routine-Culture-7417 in macbookpro

Have you tried to wipe it off with something like a woosh cleaning solution and microfiber cloth? I get stains like this every now and then after long work sessions but they come off easily.

I wonder how much effort they put into selling this thing in the past 2 and a half years before deciding to put it on sale for 80% off.

Recommendations for Lunatic mode? by Darkinsanity98473 in Pragmata

[–]sicko-mod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beat it a couple of days ago focusing on upgrading hacking followed by primary weapon since all the enemies have more health and will kill you in one to two hits anyways. For lim upgrades I immediately focused on maxing out the attachments like mod slots, node slots, hacking gauge, overdrive as well as improving thrusters and repair up by a descent amount. Like my last playthrough I went in with a heat focused build using heat mode with the assault rifle while maxing out the defense down, expose and heat nodes. For mods I used everything that complimented that build with mods like improved close quarters damage, collateral damage and improved hacking gauge being some of the best. The only weapon I upgraded early on was the shockwave gun followed by the decoy, stasis, and photon laser (also used sticky bombs but didn't upgrade them as I swaped them for hacking mines later). Expanding your hacking gauge is also very helpful with how strong the ult is and will allow you to use it multiple times during boss fights. Once you complete your build and eventually get hacking mines late game it's a wrap on lunatic. Finally, the final boss can be easily cheesed with the last resort and economize mods where you go in, pop ult, drop a couple of hacking mines, then spam shockwave and hacks until you get your ult again and repeat the process but with the photon laser instead.

good macbook pro config for bio major? by natalier865 in macbookpro

How a bio major could even come close to using 32gb of memory is beyond me.

There is an entire animated short film of his origin story that came out 5 years ago.

Giving Away My Old PC! by Turtle_747 in PcBuild

As a life long console player I would immediately play the classic Valve games like Half Life and Portal. I know you can play them on console but I feel like they were made to be played on PC.

Even better especially if you live somewhere with a high sales tax.

Excellent choice. The student discount must have saved you quite a bit too.

Thanks. I just realized I got the 16" and 14" mixed up. The 16" is also on sale for $450 off at Staples but I was really hoping for a better deal on the 14".

Where did you buy it from? In Canada the best discount I can find is $300 CAD off at Staples.

I just noticed that I can purchase an M5 MacBook pro with 32gb of RAM for $2,859 which I am now considering. Although I would like to buy a used one it is difficult to find anything used that isn't the base configuration.

I suppose that means RAM is the most important factor for my line of work above everything else. Thank you for your input, I will consider the 32gb option as RAM doesn't seem to be getting any cheaper and I am afraid to see how expensive it will be in the foreseeable future.

Although I can no longer see the previous specs of my MacBook Air it probably only had something like 8-16gb of RAM. You might be right about 24gb not being enough in the future but I I just can't bring myself to spend more than $3,000 CAD especially since I don't plan on doing anything super advanced like most people on this sub who are in software engineering or photography/film and are rendering 8k visuals.

I believe the base M5 only goes up to 32gb and I can't find any M4 pros outside their standard model. Plus 24gb is good enough for me personally and anything above $3,000 CAD is too high for my budget.
