    My new laptop came today. I picked up a refurbished 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M3 Pro chip, 12 CPU / 18 GPU core, 36GB of memory. Got a great deal after trading in a couple of old work phones.

    • Nice @monospaced!

      Apple certified OR other?

      Lookin' at similar spec myself; deciding between Macbook Air / Pro...

    • Yeah from apple.monospaced
    • I knew I could save a ton with a Mac minii, but opted for portability.monospaced
    • AND the M3 Pro chip is VERY capable opposed to a brand new M4, eh?

      Niiice.

    • Will outpace the base model by a huge margin.monospaced
    • M4 is just better
      ********
    • I doubt the base M4 would outperform an M3 Pro with double the memorymonospaced
    • Plus, the M4 isn’t even available and certainly not at the reduced price.monospaced
    • The M4 equivalent would have cost nearly $900 more, and I wouldn’t even notice the difference.monospaced
    • 36GB of memory is going to be insane on any M chip. Should easily last you ten years
      ********
    • That was my goal. And of course will help a ton with my 3D. I only went with a 512GB HD.monospaced
