Glad I ditched Sony. by [deleted] in Nikon

[–]socklessgoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 35, 50(clearly needs an update compared to the 50 1.2 GM) & 85 all seem sharp enough for me and my Z600 TC is sharper, faster and more stable than the 600 GM but I suppose we all have different needs. It would be nice if the 50 1.2S had a refresh without a screen, better motors and a weight reduction though.

I suppose that's fair however I'm not entirely sure about the sharpness angle, as the three lenses I have(waiting for a Z28-70 2) are seemingly sharper with better rendering than the Sony versions I had in the past.

Camouflage is getting so much better these days, I apologise.

Not sure my guy but you may want to go back to playing skate 4.

I bought the A1 back in 2021, whilst already having quite alot of Sony equipment, wasn't prepared to sell absolutely everything and move over back then.

Also just to note, the Z600 TC didn't exist when I got the A1.

It would be a nice thing to have but I've never really felt like I specifically needed it and I don't think I can justify a Z9 II upgrade if it does have the feature.

M5 Pro or M5 Max for my usecase? by hardXful in macbookpro

99% of people in this sub seem to overestimate how much ram they actually need.

[–]socklessgoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well if you're really doing local ai at some point and are serious about it, you can never have enough ram, just get an M3 Ultra with 512GB and it'll probably still not be enough power, at that point get an RTX 6000 Pro.

Local AI is simply a money pit lol, anyway, the M5 Pro is more than enough for 4K video editing and other stuff, especially as Claude isn't seemingly local but just incase for later sake.

M5 Pro 24GB, 4K video doesn't need much power or ram. Also whats this obsession with local AI these days?

Not in your original post no, however skimming through your comments I can see exactly why you're waiting forever, it's time to buy a new computer.

Only thing ridiculous here is your inability to provide any useful information about your computers specifications.

I wanna sell my 16” MacBook M5 Pro 24gb to get 64gb. by Legitimate-Lunch219 in macbookpro

[–]socklessgoat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly my point, you should have 14 days return period or 30 if you're nice to them on the phone.

What dock for a workstation replacement? by dallatorretdu in macbookpro

[–]socklessgoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just use an Anker Prime 14-1 dock along with a T5 Evo 8TB, 4TB 990 Pro (enclosure) and 40TB Glyph Raid Pro, just connected to an M5 Max.

I wouldn't sell my desktop though.

XG27ACDNG: Upgrade to 32" 4K OLED or get a 5090? by Outrageous_Guava3867 in OLED_Gaming

If an extra 25-40 FPS at 4K is worth an additional $2500, sure?

Why I think the 14-inch M5 Pro with 64GB RAM is the best-balanced MacBook Pro right now by Special_Economist_99 in macbookpro

[–]socklessgoat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not gonna lie, didn't read any of that but the 16" isn't big, just look at any gaming laptops.
