I'm planning on upgrading only if the new color is introduced. I could care less about the M2 chip. Also, it feels weird macOS Ventura is due to release to the public next week and we don't have a new mac machine to upgrade it with. It feels left out.
Why not just get a cover for your M1? I'm only mentioning it because, well, I know that people who become wealthy do so in part by avoiding needless debt, and they do THAT by spacing out large expenditures by years.
The Internet abounds with examples of why it's financially smarter to buy used cars and keep them for many years. I think the same thing applies to expensive technology. Buy that $7,000 computer if you really want to, but then don't go and shoot your future self in the financial foot by buying another one next year. Especially if a $50 cover will change your perception and spur your enthusiasm and imagination.
What do you care? Not your money..
I know you wrote this to somebody else, but I DO care. I want every Living Yay to be successful in life, and that includes financial success!
Am I the only one who thinks that the word ultra is greater than extreme?
You are right. Ultra comes from Ultimate, which is the pinnacle, or tippy-top for those readers who still use sippy-cups. So what happens when you have "Ultra", and then you come out with "Max"? Now you're just confusing matters. Which is which? If Max is more tippy-top than Ultra, then you just made your Ultra "Penultra", aka: Penultimate, which means "second to last", or "second best".
And then when you come out with "Extreme", well, that's GOT TO BE something less than either Ultimate or Penultimate. Right? You can be Extreme without being Ultimate. But you cannot be Ultimate if there is something better.
Words mean things, except for all of the English majors who won't lift a finger to defend the language!
Apple can release whatever they want - only US and UK can afford to buy it at this point.
You must work for the Government...they're the only ones right now who are NOT being impacted by inflation. I don't know about the UK, but the Northeast and Northwest US are kind of busy trying to figure out how they're going to get to work without being robbed, beaten, or thrown in front of a train, and when they get home, they wonder how the heck they're going to heat their homes this winter.
Buying technology? Not on the list so much!
The rest of us, will be sitting in our living rooms, eating macaroni and cheese and watching...
Macaroni, yes. But have you seen the price of cheese lately? Cheese is for rich people, or people who don't mind being in debt. In my house, it's macaroni with an "ultrathin" pat of butter (see what I did there?), and maybe some salt and pepper. That right there is a rich man's side! I'll add paprika or curry powder if it's a celebration!
Let me get this right. You are selling your old laptop to get a new laptop and a better looking wife?
LOL, and here I thought cheese was expensive! Only the truly wealthy can actually afford an ex-wife!
Attached storage bites the big pickle when it comes to travel.
Wait, I don't know what that means! Wait a minute, yes I do. Now if you had said "spicy-hot pickle", I think I'd have to ask.
The one question no one is asking, what color options will there be for the Mac Pro Ultra Extreme? I suspect many would pay extra for glitter.
You just gave me an idea! Hey
@Yay!, I can do a glitter finish for you for $150. With a fiberglas and epoxy glaze, just like they do on boat hulls. Would you like LEDs embedded? Add $200. How about light-up disco squares on the back of the open lid? $450. 50% down, 50% on delivery. Why no, I haven't done any of that stuff before, but I learned it on the Internet. "Botaltoat" for the win! 🛶
