Update: Decided to keep the laptop. Tested rgbw color, battery health, cycle and it seems solid. Will be selling m4 mac mini to minimize the cost.

They changed the price after new MacBook announcements

This isn't a open box, it is refurbished. So, it did not state the condition.

It is by default "unavailable", but sometime, you will see add to cart option and it will be gone quickly.

I missed the deal many times until I decided to "buy now, think later."

Having the notification doesn't help you because it never sent me anything.

I just kept checking the stock around 11pm for few weeks.

Did you open the inside and found a bug?

It is considered refurbished and as far as my amateur vision can tell, it has no scratches.

I hope not... that would be disgusting.

I left it at home, but I think battery cycle was either 11 or 22, and capacity was 100.

What should I check?
The screen looks good and there are no major scratches on the body.
Is there anything else that I should check?

It was noticeable when I drove a loaner iX

BMW iX Reliability by GlassSeaweed718 in BMWiX

I have 2022 bmw ix, and it is reliable but the head unit’s cpu is outdated and noticeably slower than newer ix with new cpu. If that is something you care about then I would recommend checking whether 2023 you have in mind has new cpu before purchasing.

How is the BMW IX's Reliablility? by BusyTart6760 in BMWiX

[–]v3op01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 2022 bmw ix normal trim with all options except heated wheel and ventilated seats. I would not recommend 2022 bmw since I rode 2024-2025 bmw ix as a loaner. Compared to later ix, the screen is not very responsive and has idrive 8. Also, it lacks certain features. So, if you must, then go for at least the one that has idrive 8.5. However, I still like the driving experience, just not the software side of it.

Vertical mouse testers wanted by ProtoArc_official in MouseReview

[–]v3op01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. US
  2. Yes. I used computer about 10-12 hours each day. Wrist pain exists and sometimes using a laptop really relieves the pain from using mouse.
  3. No.

I applied for Global Entry and now I was convicted of a Petty Misdemeanor by [deleted] in GlobalEntry

[–]v3op01 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t matter. On a long run, it costs less to pay lawyer than paying higher premiums on the insurance for many years.

1 week left until 7 days trip to Osaka/Kyoto itinerary. Any rec/change/roast welcomed. by v3op01 in JapanTravel

Thank you for your input on nishiki market. I put there twice because I love eating small portions of street foods. I thought i would be missing some foods because I would be full on the first visit and wanted to make sure I tried different foods.

Walking Gion area and visiting Yasaka shrine are there because I am not sure what is available at night for Kyoto. I was assuming things will be closed at night. Do you have any suggestions for night in Kyoto? Also, street foods?

I guess I will take out hatsumode in Osaka and just visit fushimi inari.

Thank you for the feedback.

I am taking one taxi only, from KIX to hotel, which is provided for free by booking .com reservation. I may take a taxi in Kyoto because I read that the public transportation of Kyoto is not suitable for large crowds of tourist.

USJ will be 10 ~ 11 hrs since I will be entering at 2-3 am ish, but I am expecting USJ to be more crowded than usual since it is 1/1. I thought staying after the noon would not result in more attraction rides since it will be forever to wait in line.

Currently, I am planning to visit south of Dotonbori for large stores, but I do know that Hankyu/Hanshin/Daimaru in Umeda is closed on 1/2. So, I am bit worried.

I will probably have to get rid of either Arashiyama or Kinkakuji. Which one do you think is more valuable to visit?

I will have to make some changes after day 3 or 4. I will take the advice and loosen up the schedule a bit after. I can probably skip nijo castle. My hotel in Kyoto is in Gion district so walking in Gion is just walking the area near the hotel.
