better idea: get Pixel Buds

pixel buds work with apple as AirPods work with android

ah okay

the AirPods pros are on sale now for $200, which is why i’m considering it. otherwise, I would look at more options

that's quite expensive for headphones 🎧

it’s the apple tax at work again

I saw that there was some Mac pc selling for 7k, is that correct? Just build your own PC, or make a Hackintosh.

that’s the Mac Pro, also even apple fanboys agree that it’s a rip off. You can get the Mac Studio with the same chip (M2 Ultra), ram, and ssd for $3000 less.

or buy a PC just a powerful for 1.5k and install macos on it

idk - the M2 Ultra is almost as powerful as a 13900k and comes with 64GB of ram. To get a PC with those specs is about $4000 - the same as the Mac Studio. So it’s pretty comparable (unless you don’t like macOS).

64 gigs of RAM is like $100 💀

8/18/2023, 4:55:33 PM

ik it comes free on M2 ultra

8/18/2023, 5:12:02 PM
radi8:

yeah, but you mentioned that it's 4k, so the RAM is probably iRAM (haha)

it’s actually unified memory, so it’s a different animal than normal RAM. I think it has ECC built in. It has 800 GB/s memory bandwidth.

8/18/2023, 5:29:31 PM
radi8:

even then it's like $120

8/18/2023, 5:31:47 PM

whatever, apple needs to make their money somehow 😔

apple literally makes all their money on upgrades tho, it’s like $360 to go from 8 to 24 gb of ram on the MacBook Air, and $360 to go from 16 to 32 gb on the MacBook Pro. And like you said, it’s only $120 for a 64 GB ram stick. And it’s even worse for SSD, it’s $180 to go from 512GB to 1TB on the MacBook Pro, and it’s $180 for each additional TB on top of that. And you can find a 1TB SSD stick for like $60-70 🫠💀

its so stupid, frfr buy a framework laptop and put msx on it if you’re looking for cheap-ish upgrade.
