This is the 16GB/1TB model Apple sell for $3749 so a $762 saving.
Bought one myself. Did pick up to local store so no postage costs. Sure still near $3K but I can get gst back with abn and instant tax deduction for this financial year.
Have been using a M1 12.9 256GB iPad Pro that I didn't get on with just sold for $1400, so going to a laptop for my portability, also have a 24" iMac in my home office.
Been tossing up for a week v the 14" pro or even a MB Air then the 13" MB pro. By the time you bump the ram to 16gb and the extra storage they are getting up there for 2 year old models.
Anyway this is a bargain even $12 cheaper than the 512gb model.
Also if you have flybuys will get near $15 in flybuy dollars.

    Before any of you spend 3K on this, think whether your needs actually require the computing power of an M1 Pro, or if the Air would get you by.

      the other value of this is the brilliant and larger screen. Thanks OP bought one, finally time to upgrade my 8 yr old MPB with 2 battery services.

      • reloxation on 04/06/2022 - 13:53

        That's true. A lot of money to spend for a better/larger screen though compared to the price of an Air

        • [Deactivated] on 04/06/2022 - 14:28

          air is 2 over years old and about to be replaced, also when bump to 16gb and 1Tb see how much they are.

                  @reloxation: air 16gb with 1 TB is $2499.
                  Also new air is rumoured to have white border and white keys yuk

                  @reloxation: Missing half the features you think it should have, half the performance increase you want and half as expensive again as it should be for options.

                  It has always been so, with exception of the move to Intel from Power PC and to M1 from Intel.

                  It is the (Apple) way. Now the rumours is the Air won't get all the fruity colours, just a slightly changed gold colour and a blue for something new.

                  RAM prices and storage upgrades will be the same money. Apple loves to wring the options rag until they can't wring it any more. Expect standard 8GB/256MB for the next two revisions.

                    @Daabido: I don't think people would be happy if they only put 256MB of storage!

                    • Daabido on 04/06/2022 - 22:21

                      @reloxation: Apple doesn't worry about people's happiness. They used 64GB in the 12" Air and 128Gb in others for way longer than what was reasonable. Same with 4GB of RAM.

                      I would like to be proven wrong. I use a Mac as my daily driver and have since about 1986, except for a period in the 90s when they were insanely expensive.

          You should spend just as much as you want to spend. If you don’t need to spend more at Apple, then don’t.

    • congo on 04/06/2022 - 14:23

      Isn’t the M1 Pro twice the performance of M1?
      So if you are a heavy user, the Pro would be worth the extra $1.5K?

      • DonWilson on 04/06/2022 - 14:27

        It doesn't scale linearly like that, no.

        • reloxation on 04/06/2022 - 14:32

          and even if it did scale linearly, my comment was more about this laptop is for those who have production level needs, not the average consumer. Hopefully Apple puts a better display on M2 Air and then it'd be perfect.

      • happychappy1 on 04/06/2022 - 14:31

        If you need more than one external display then you'll need the MBP. However, the difference is that the AOC price is about 2150 for the MBA with 16/1TB (same as this). If I were getting the MBP I'd want the 32GB RAM to go with.

        • TeeJay on 04/06/2022 - 14:51

            @TeeJay: But you need a DisplayLink adapter, which isn't ideal given resolution and bandwidth limitations. Plus drivers.

            • TeeJay on 05/06/2022 - 12:46

              @happychappy1: Fair point

        Teams is a universal app now, so it supports Apple Silicon. The only thing is that the audio redirect driver is still on Intel. The other option is to use the PWA version through Chrome or Edge.

      If you charge GST for your service and filled out the BAS, you can deduct it through there.

    • Ausdave on 04/06/2022 - 17:08

      You gave to make an annual gross income of $75k, then register for GST, then claim it back on a BAS statement.

      Keep in mind you'll have to also collect GST from your customers.

        • JutakuHome on 04/06/2022 - 14:36

          They’ve removed the $900/person limit, so anything you claim and subsequently bring back can be taxed. Up to you whether you want to risk it. I personally can’t see how they monitor such a rule

          • [Deactivated] on 04/06/2022 - 14:56

            @JutakuHome: Isn't there something you tick on the declaration card? I guess lying is a criminal offence? They can check if you made a TRS claim and see if you have that item maybe?

    • jace88 on 04/06/2022 - 18:51

      Go to the Apple Store and see what you like. Some people find the 16" just a tad too big to be portable.

      For me, I was happy with 14" because I wanted portability since when I'm at home, I'm using a docking station/vertical stand.

    whats this instant tax deduction ur talking about
    sorry new to this tax stuff

    • Banj0 on 20/06/2022 - 15:37

      Got to the ATO and have a read (or talk to a tax agent/accountant).

      For mine, this is about deductions (depreciation in this case) vs the covid 80c/hour quick deduction. If I buy something like this in this financial year, it will likely make a (painstakingly) calculated deduction more attractive. If I don't invest in any office equipment at all, then the 80c probably works out convenient for me.

      Usually the hourly deduction for running an office at home is less than that, but you would normally claim certain other expenses on top of it.

      My situation: I am an IT worker (employed PAYG), do not need face to face, and have worked mostly from home this financial year. I have a room set aside as a home office, and the vast majority of use is for work.
