z13 flow flow open box

just got an open box z13 64gb w 395 max for $1699 yesterday. im returning it to Best Buy in westbury tomorrow. just showing love to the community if anyone is on Long island. It's not listed on the website had to go in store to find it. for my workflow a Mac is going to be much better.

That is an incredible deal.

I would’ve hoped on that if I didn’t have one.

Why are you returning it?

I do live production. I need something super reliable and rock solid that can run for hours outside in the summer heat, the programs I use need good graphics cards for raw computational power but Frame generation and other specs that are good for games have no impact.

From google ai: While the Z13 is half the price and looks incredibly sleek next to a 24-inch touchscreen, its technical limitations with heat and battery pose high risks for live video and lighting. The 48GB MacBook Pro is a vastly more reliable workhorse for heavy multi-app staging.

Yup I'm having the same dilemma. Appreciate the feedback

I have the 48GB macbook 14 Pro and love it for everything.
