What are you trying to keep yourself from buying?

[Apple fanboy]

An Apple Watch and iPhone 12 (Not sure which model, Mini or 12. Pro would be overkill and I really like the Green color).

Waiting on the M2? Mac desktops, that will be awhile.

M3 is the one to get. I’m enjoying my Apple Watch SE.

Trying to convince myself I don't need a 16" MBP.

(I kind of do, but not really now, but probably will in the future, but not sure when... and on and on and on)

Failed miserably.

Trying to resist buying a 2020 iPad Pro. I have the money put aside for it, but having lost my job because of covid, I'm not buying one until I'm back at work ... just in case I need that money elsewhere (i.e. mortgage)

A sensible approach. Good luck with the job hunting.

I kinda want an M1 MacBook Air. It’s tempting but my 2015 MBP is fantastic.

I can relate, Tranceking26: I kinda/sorta want a 13" M1 MacBook Pro, too.....it's tempting, so tempting....!!!! I don't need it, I've got a perfectly wonderful 2018 MBP which is my primary workhorse machine and I've got a sweet little 12" MacBook which is terrific for travel and for using in various places around the house (the MBP is plugged into an external monitor). I keep telling myself, "NO! I do NOT NEED an M1 MacBook Pro!!!" I just bought a new car last month and I have other priorities which should take precedence over buying a new computer, but, oh, it's so tempting..... I could rationalize buying a new iPhone 12 Pro easier than justify buying a 13" M1 MBP.....and I've so far managed not to succumb to the siren song of the new iPhone....

I want the M1 13" MacBook Pro!

1) It is the very first Apple Silicon MacBook Pro.
2) It is cheaper than the Late 2008 13" MacBook that I bought in Feb 2009(Still works very well with Mojave).

The newest iPad Pro 12.9, I don’t really need it as my 1st gen 12.9 is still working flawlessly....but my god do I want one so bad.

Resist! Or don’t! My iPad Air is about 5 years older and pretty much only any good for browsing. But I’ll update Mrs AFB iPad Pro in the next year and inherit her old one.

new wheels for my accord! trying to control myself!

Easy to resist. Google midlife crisis bikers and then imagine yourself in leathers and think, is that a good look. Then Google motorcycle accident victims.
But yes I have had similar thoughts myself!

You’re quite right, it is not that hard to resist. I’m actually forcing myself to consider it - I need something out of work, work, work. It would be mainly for weekend use: the odd ride, going to the gym, etc. The wife says do it, I say 🤔

...an afterburner card for my mac pro 🙂

Work and more work. Yup that sounds familiar. I’ll start my second shift of the day in a bit.

Failed miserably.

Same here. Delivers mid Dec. Seems a bit long. I did max it out though.

I failed a resisting Oculus Quest2. Bought one for each of us. I AM A JEDI MASTER!! Vader Immortal is just too much awesome.

Right now I'm trying to resist purchases a 3D180 camera. Something like the Insta360 Evo or Vue.

 

[sk8andmetal]

quite a lot of things ...
>a standing desk (autonomous.ai )
>the new M1 MacBook Pro (to replace my mid14 rmbp
>new lenses for my camera.
>a dji AIR2

And this:

Standing desk & Walsh Ohm 3000 speakers are on my trying to avoid list at the moment.

I bought M1 13" MBP in base configuration. It is great!

Anything. I'm pretty sure I have enough now.

I need one. My 2017 battery is in bad shape, I hate this keyboard and Apple will offer me $420 for a trade in. Might just bite the bullet and do it.

I would say that since M1 has been released $420 is not a bad trade in value for a 2017 machine with a bad battery.

I watched a ton of reviews last night and a lot of posts for feedback and seems this M1 MacBook Air is a real winner in terms of performance and battery life.

Pulled the trigger and should expect it next week. I guess I need to move to the "recently purchased thread" 🙂
