MacBook Pro M3 Pro 18GB/512GB. I don’t think I have seen it this cheap.
0.95% surcharge on card, PayPal, WeChatPay, AliPay & UnionPay payments.
Got it for $2988.70 today with officeworks price beat.
Where?
Every store before EOFY has it for around $29++
$3109 delivered @ apple edu union, cheaper* than ow price beat with discounted gcs
*everyday rewards points are not cash and it isn't a real discount. but still.
Next week Uptimate gift cards are on 10%sale (in terms of everyday points) at Woolworths. They can be used in officeworks. This can bring the further down (assuming that digidirect sale exists till then).
Good deal with the office works match, got this config last week from apple refurb for $2969
18GB
It has an 8 in there, can we please have all the 8gb comments?
3k for a measly 8 +10gig … what a joke not to mention an ssd size from 10 years ago
im ngl if you had a 500gb ssd back in 2014 you were RICH
Loll well I'm just giving snvl what he wanted with a bit of exaggeration … Technically it's what you'd want in your baller laptop/PC back then hehe
I have 8gb and it works great blah blah blah :D
Please add that its 14inch (I thought it was a 16inch and was about to pull the trigger 😫)
she would have been pissed
What you couldnt see the 14" in the title, i saw it as soon as i clicked it
The title was edited to add it in.
I can see a lot of pros in this deal
That 18 gig gotta be worth $1000 alone
Ha ha ha
Apple devices will all be crashing in price soon, i would be holding off
M4 is going to be released soon, I wouldn't say that the M3s are going to crash in price though…. Even now the M2 and M1s are still priced high.
Problem is that Apples new AI doesnt work on most devices, even the iPhone 16 wont run it. If Apple want to get into that market they will have to dump older device price to try bring down the newer device price to compete. But then again, Apple is Apple, they know fanboys and fangirls buy their products no matter what.
The iPhone 16 will support Apple Intelligence on all models so i'm unsure if i can trust what the rest of your statement is saying.
@blky: Maybe 'doesnt work' was a bit rich, but lets call it struggle.
"The upcoming iPhone 16, despite possibly having more advanced hardware, may also struggle with the new AI capabilities due to design cycles that did not account for these features. It may take another product cycle or two before the hardware fully aligns with the new AI capabilities coming in iOS 18.1 and beyond. 31 Jul 2024"
What AI features are you expecting to run on new devices?
Are you looking forward to Windows Recall?
It wont happen because Apple doesn't discount like that, period. They will send excess stock to landfill before they drop prices significantly.
Apple's marketing operates on the same principles as a luxury brand.
From a technical point of view, AI models can fit within a low RAM environment, there are already models available that fit in 512mb of RAM, obviously with less capabilities.
Apple has years of training data available available from Siri. What do their competitors have? Their AI will be far better than anything put out by their competition.
Source? Please don't say because the iPhone 16 is released next month.
Lol based on what?
Articles, try Googling it
Anything to guide a Google search?
@BatmanAU: Anything I can try on a S22U?
They're don't appear to be any articles suggesting what you've mentioned.
@BatmanAU: Just trying to understand what will cause this:
Apple devices will all be crashing in price soon
So, you're basically talking crap.
I haven't been following pricing for the past 2 yrs or so, but I was on the apple site the other day looking at options with a coworker, and he's like I need 64gb, but almost all the models can't have that unless you upgrade the CPU, but then by the time you upgrade the CPU, and 64gb then you're now at a price point where you can get a model that has 96gb but with less cores, the pricing is consistently confusing across all the BTO's, essentially if you want anything more than 32gb then you get nudged to the $7k mark. Pretty insane.
It's nice hardware, but it is insane, compared to AMD or Intel based hardware.
The piece of hardware no doubt is reliable, and consistent, and the experience in the eco system is always better than being on a Windows eco system, but it's definitely a big tax to pay.
With Intel's new ultra chips, they are quite fast and cool to run, I have one from work on our dell laptop, however that laptop, I'm not sure if it's because of an enterprise bundle, is at $6k with 64gb, so it wasn't exactly far off from a 64gb configured MBP 16", so on the basis of work machines, they are on point in the enterprise space.
However it really sucks when it comes to buying it for personal use and yeah, it's a lot to fork out.
nothing like my 1TB M1 Pro 16GB memory, won't be buying another one hard to justify as M chips so dam fast.
Wish I could get the M1 max 64GB from last year 😪 for ~3000
Comes up as 3396 on digidirect now
It was around $2900 back in June
