My $10 Amazon bonus finally tracked today without having to reach out to SB for follow up.

I’ve ordered plenty of things from the Education store (not a student) for delivery and never had an issue or been asked for ID prior to…

I ordered at 1045 last night and mine has just tracked now.

Nope, anyone can order from there but if you do an instore pickup you may be asked for proof of being a Uni student, teacher etc. If you…

They aren’t discounted, you just get money back in Everyday Rewards and Flybuys points. That still doesn’t account for people not…

Not everyone is comfortable falsely purchasing through the Education store and not everyone has access to discounted gift cards.

If it’s only for the basic use you mentioned and it’s handling everything you do now, you definitely don’t need to upgrade.

Completely missed the CPU part. But no, spending an extra $270 on 2 CPU cores isn’t worth it for everyone, especially for basic everyday…

The base M4 is also 8 cores. The 10 core chip is another $130 or substantially more if you upgrade the RAM or SSD.

At this price, it’s a no brainer over the M4. Anyone on an M1 or earlier would be worth an upgrade but definitely not from an M3,…

Not everyone can, I can tell you from experience which is exactly why I said 99% of people.

I’d imagine a decent percentage of MBP users would fall into 3 categories: - Software engineers, heavy computational needs, high res…

I bought from this OzBargainer without issue. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/901292

$2417 through AOC for 16/1TB config. $2175 if you get the discounted gift cards.…

$2159 from the Apple Education Store and can often find 10% Apple gift cards in the classifieds section on here making it $1943. Not sure…

The MBA makes perfect sense for a lot of people despite what anyone in these comments will tell you. You don’t need to spend hundreds let…

Under continued sustained loads they thermally throttle but they most definitely don't get "very hot". You can easily (like I do) run…

That’s completely dependent on your use case if it’s worth it and 99% of people won’t know the difference between the screens unless…

Depends on the price difference between the two, what your workflow is and whether the Pro benefits are worthwhile to you?

They will on occasions instore. I’ve ordered several times but just choose delivery and have never been asked.

Probably due to fact they’re trying to make AI compatible across the line and that’s pretty difficult to do decently with 8GB.

16GB is more than sufficient for 99% of people. Even for video editing, programming, VM’s etc 16GB will do the job albeit maybe slightly…

Yeah wouldn't work for me. Just kept saying they were in a different country/address to the Premium account.

Same thing just happened to us today, after 8yrs with a Filipino account. My family premium is still active but the 5 family members were…

A refurbed T series (480 or 490) Thinkpad would do the job perfectly and can be had for a good price with some upgradability options.

It’s excluded on both CR and TCB so I’m guessing they’ve just overlooked it here, in which case it won’t be tracked. I assume this…

I received an email about it.

Yep, ineligible products are a 0% rate regardless of upsized rates.

It won’t show at all because it’s an ineligible product.
