>>109864150Running large LLMs locally is a complete money pit for 99% of people, so stop buying overpriced workstations for it. You won't even have enough unified memory/VRAM to hold a decent context window. But if you're using local hardware to generate text-to-video goop, the rig pays for itself fast.

>>109864150Honestly, it does make sense for apple, I mean, if you bought it and in few years they stopped giving you any updates, you can't install any other OS in the new chip like how it used to be, so you are left with total junk, with apple, you are leasing either way
Do you really want to be hugging the wall to keep your laptop(that sounds like a jet at idle with 3 hrs of battery life) plugged in for the rest of your life?Or would you rather be free and work on islands in the center of coffee shops>>109864203Just be smart with your money and you can have both + retirement>>109864201Probably idk send us the checkout page
>>109864150Post how much ram it has nigger

>>109864150I am running 5600x, amd 6800 hackintosh until they stop supporting tahoe.For now I am working on software to fully replace sip with foss solution (fully disable apple one)and firewall to block all apple spyware shit.
>>109864150>ARM trashkys
>>109864150Use ze every Apple produz you see. Subscribe to ze cloud hardware. Become part of 4th industrial revolution
>>109864150When the product dies after 24 months do you still have to keep paying?
>>109864150>50 bucks a monthWhat if you stop paying? Do they remotely brick it?
>>109864466maybe repo, but more likely tank you credit score and get you blacklisted
>>109864429if its a hardware failure there's always the warranty everything else there's apple care>>109864329Good goy never try anything different in life, never go on vacation. Die never having seen alternative points of views or lifestyles with large amounts of plastic chemicals from the various heated up plastic stinkpads you hoarded and used in your poorly ventilated room>>109864466pretty sure they do but you wouldnt do that right?
>>109864473>repoHow? Physically send a buff dude to take it?
>>109864326>he doesnt know the front facing camera on the iphone duo dissapears when the camera isnt onits coming to mac soon(probably) and that satania meme will be obsolete
>>109864162You sound cranially deficient.
>>109864481>large amounts of plastic chemicalsin your lungs*
>>109864486that's why i said "maybe," it's logistically not worth it to repo a laptop, even if it's $2500, the system fucks you without ever touching you by blacklisting and tanking credit score, they can eventually send the debt to collectors who buy it at discount and they try to settle it with you, usually on another payment plan kek
>>109864486>>109864473You dumb fucking retards. Apple isn't the one on the hook, they get paid by Klarna who are then responsible for making sure you payment. And you don't want to fuck with Klarna's repo guys.
>>109864495I might be Who are you to judge?>>109864486I think they just treat it like a stolen product and icloud lock it but make it harder to buy one later with the same method by tanking your credit + the specific institution you used for payments probably blacklists you
>>109864514me on the left
>>109864514Just give them fake address or buy in another state. Fuck corpos.
>>109864466Apple credit is through a Goldman Sacks credit card.
>>109864223My 2015 MBP still works fine despite being on macOS Mojave. Still gets updated browsers too. So this argument carries little weight.
>>109864548The 2015 MBP didn't even work fine as a computer in 2015. Top notch sperm killing microwave if you ever put the laptop on your lap though.
>>109864548>non apple silicon macdid you forget why we made fun of macs back then?
>>109864514>Klarna's repo guys.kek ok i can afford even overpriced mackbook pros but now i want to buy one with klarna and stop paying just to see who they send
>>109864495I'm diagnooooooooosing!
>>109864150>Paying $1440 so you can use a Mac for 3 years
>>109864264>M5 starts at 16GB baseWhich is utterly useless if you want to be able to run models, even quantized ones, that are worth the damn. I consider 48 the absolute minimum if you want to be doing anything remotely serious
>>109865399>Spending an extra thousand bucks on RAM to run lobotomized local models when Gemini is 20 bucks a month
>>109864150It's actually even better with Apple Card. If you put that lump payment into the S&P instead you'll literally come out ahead at the end of the installments
>>109864231that pic looks disgusting
