Guest /u/Apart-Status9082 Posted December 22, 2024 Posted December 22, 2024 My usecase is programming work. I don't run LLMs locally but I do a fair bit of compiling and also multi core batch processing (of videos). Current limitations are: slow disk (I hadn't checked that at all before buying), heating up during what I'd call modest compiles, lack of real estate on the screen. The current machine has 16GB ram, and it's not a bottleneck for me, so the base 24GB should be fine. The 16" M4 Pro would likely be a noticeable upgrade for me. I also don't move this around much, except between the desk and the sofa/bed... so the only downside is, my mba probably won't sell for much, although it's in great condition, and the pro is not a cheap machine. So, I'd like to ask if anyone here has gone through something similar with hopefully comparable use cases, that can provide some insights. Thanks for your feedback! submitted by /u/Apart-Status9082 [link] [comments]
