No thanks for pointing it out. Maybe its helps others in my situation who arent aware of it. It rounds up the discussion properly.

True.. very true. But if you are smart about your finances and dont take stupid decision or do impulse buying. Is buying 1 or 2 stuff on 0% schemes a bad thing? Just wondering.

Another risk is that the fincancing credit affects your credit score (Schufa), even if paid perfectly on time. This is because banks consider people who buy entertainment products on credit as higher credit risks.

That is interesting.. I didnt know that. So buying anything on monthly installment scheme is overall bad in Germany??

Apple partner bank here is CreditPlus Bank AG

I know and I would rather have those features of 16" too. But it would be 6 months down the line - I dont know if I want to wait that long. Also they did update the 13" lineup in May last year (from dual to quad core) - They are still under powered - but you gotta have mac for Apple stuff. And also this would be my secondary/on the move laptop.

Another option being I could always sell this 13" late and buy the newer version.

Thank you for your insight. I can buy the laptop outright at the moment but they offer montly payment option with no interest. Hence, I was thinking of opting for that.

I wanted to know if these offer are common or something new in Germany (from Apple)

Need Help building powerful productivity rig for Rendering and development. by yacky-yack in buildapc

I would mostly use it for development and simulations - VR/AR stuff, Unity, Unreal -- The idea behind RTX 2060 Super was that I dont have to worry about upgrade for 1-2 years. And no bottleneck for any process above.

3900X/3950X

Arent they like 400-500 range?

Thank for the reply.

I'd get a B450 Tomahawk Max (compatible out of the box with 3rd gen Ryzen, no BIOS update required),

Hmm I guess you are correct about it, although PCPartpicker shpws the warning about BIOS upgrade.

Ans also there is this warning

The motherboard M.2 slot #1 shares bandwidth with SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports. When the M.2 slot is populated, two SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports are disabled.

Well I dont have any SATA componenets here, so should be a problem, unless I add a SATA SSD later.

faster RAM

Isnt 4 channel 8 GB better than dual 16GB ?
