You get a (expletive deleted)ing photo for that !

Buy you a drink if you pop over ! Of course if you stopped (expletive deleted)ing about and finish your build …

Clearly you don’t appreciate the spender of an iced latte !

Of course it’s real ! Cornwall that isn’t !

There ! That stopped posts ! 👊🏻

Every post will receive a “ (expletive deleted) off look where I am photo “ 😎😆

Yes ! I responded again so now need another rest !

Reviews are really good for it . Most people just email / web browse e.g waste time on here - it seems very capable for that . I only about 6 months ago bought an air and tbh Neo would have been fine as compiling/llm/heavy work always done on server type hardware ; currently the m3 ultra . But you know what ; I’m having a break 😎

Windows slut !

Ram shortage is real . Every single report suggests it of course does affect Apple . The question is how much …. I think as you can tell it’s going to be bad

We’re all guessing ; but there are indicators . You guess that m5 256gb were ordered last year - no evidence of that . There is a ram shortage . m3 ultra/ m4 mini at end of manufacture unified memory is to some extent is built to order wwdc when ultra m5 supposedly released we will see . No ram shortage effecting apple then no issues with delays . Limited large memory bins and delivery slips to months and then “ not available “ - clearly ram shortage having an impact . My guess is that will happen . So I’ll play pessimistic rather than ram shortage doesn’t really affect Apple .

I reckon even if I’m first off the block with an m5 ultra order of say 256gb it will still be a 10 week wait for delivery . High memory bins are a massive problem so anyone wishing more ( 512gb if they even offer it ) will be waiting months or indeed Apple jump back to “ currently unavailable “ rather than show delivery dates in excess of 6 months . They are clearing old stock ready for new but ram shortage is going to cause a launch where essentially it becomes unavailable very quickly .

M4 options also reduced ! Sure new models are coming but ram shortages clearly becoming a massive issue

Apple have now removed the option for buying 256gb option ! Clearly they have significant constraints on ram higher bins . Previously it was a 6month wait until delivery , now no option . Saving ram for m5

Yes . But also I want local for stt real time . Can’t exactly do that cloud based and integrating into a local home assistant. Or at least not in any sane way and speed . Also lots of other things I wish to do that can only be done locally .
