Guest /u/Current_Ad2286 Posted November 10, 2024 Posted November 10, 2024 I have a used MacBook Pro 16 inch 2019. i9, 32gb ram, 8gb Radeon pro 5500m with 2TB ssd. Bought it for 1.9k EUR in sept 2022. It was serving me well (albeit running extremely hot) for the last few years. Though occasionally it would shut off with the fans making a quick puff sound. Sometimes rebooting it would make the same puff. Like a car that can’t start… Only recently I’ve had trouble charging it. The MacBook would occasionally make the charging sound randomly when plugged in for long periods of time. Now the battery won’t charge at all and it died to never come back on again. 1 week later I plugged it back in and it had life again… Long story short, the battery seems to be on its last legs and I’m now thinking about getting rid of it before I get more problems. It’s not worth a whole lot these days and its cosmetic condition is fair at best. Not to mention the QWERTZ keyboard that will make the sale harder in the UK. The options are a Mac mini m4, Mac Studio m1 ultra / M2 Max or maybe an iMac Pro if I could find it for a good price. Has anybody recently made the leap from a an Intel Mac to an m chip? What’s the move and should I move on from this oven of a laptop that has fans spinning at max revs 247? Thanks for any responses! submitted by /u/Current_Ad2286 [link] [comments]
