Nothing graphics intensive. Simple browsing, netflix, stuff like that. I bought the MBP as my first foray into OSX (and Apple in general). I enjoy the OS.

I honestly just need it to be lighter. It’s too heavy for what I want to do. I’ll look into 13" retina models.

The GPUs arent efficient like they used to be ITs time to get ASIC devices for anything, even litecoin.

I know it’s unrelated. My comment was more towards the beef with Google Home and Youtube on Amazon devices, etc.

Oh Heaven forbid some competition in a supposed capitalist country. Both these companies need to grow up.

What year/model? I’m trying to sell my MBP and hoping to get $700 out of it. I would need a 13" MBA tho.

The way I see it, Bank of America is going to lose deposits and it should hurt them. Time to look at federal credit unions.

So I’m in a conflict here. I have a 2012 Macbook Pro (16GB and 256SSD) and I want something lighter. So the Macbook Air was going to be my next device. Was thinking to buy used. For all you Macbook lovers, what do you recommend?

Could be worse. Could gather 2 of your friends and go to a team together. But the Lebron lovers wouldn’t dare mention it.

I’m a guy, but man I loved Devon Aoki’s car in 2 Fast 2 Furious. The screen with the anime character on the dash was all I ever wanted in a car.

It is a weird place. I have mostly been a proponent of letting a person do what they want and if they mess themselves up, so be it. But every industry should have its limits. So if that means not letting a person borrow more because they are a major credit risk, so be it.

It’s a weird spot. I would say cap at 25%. Anything more and the borrower just doesn’t deserve a loan. Better to declare bankruptcy now than with a ton of loans attached to it.

They can. But the goal is to not use them. This is why I said the best solution is to pay off the credit card right away with 1/2 the savings, then spend the next few months getting your nest egg back.

Maybe. But we will never know. Started under Bush, but wasnt Obama all about change? Seemed like busines as usual.

A drone assasination country of US citizens by former President Obama.

My local credit union has a large ATM network. It’s pretty rad.

That strategy is great when you changed your lifestyle. At this point, the goal is to get the person out of debt and without debt for a while. Once that discipline is built, then you can go the credit card for bills/pay each month.

That would mean applying for another credit card. His debt is too low to go that route IMO. Anything above $5k and no savings and a transfer to a 0% card is a good option. Unless of course you are applying for a mortgage or car loan.

I would actually go halfway here. Cash is king so it’s best to have it. Like another commenter said above, use $2K from savings for your debt and start up again. Then literally put away the credit card and keep only a debit card handy.

A nice check works just as well.
