Current MBP 15" vs MBP 13" entry level

[rayban]

Anyone purchase the current MBP series? Any insights of it

I looking to get a new laptop as i going oversea study plus now have the education offer with discount and free beats headphone.

Will be using it for running python and data analysis since my course is on that.
Will the 15 inches be better for the long run or the current release of the 13 inch entry level is enough?

The newly refreshed 13" MBP is more than enough for your needs unless you need to edit 4K videos.

The current 13" is the most bang for buck MBP for most people.

1.4ghz and 2.4ghz make any much different?

have to go apple store to see 13 inch first, too use to 15 inch laptop already haha

sounds like 13 inch and max ram is a good fit for u .... unless you're doing video editing etc.

coding with 13 inch is completely fine

1.4ghz with 8gb or 16gb ram? or
2.4ghz with 8gb or 16gb ram

For longevity, max out the CPU and RAM.

On a fresh boot, even before you do anything, MacOS already takes 2 plus GBs of RAM for system use.

The current 13” MacBook Pro satisfy your needs already.

I would not recommend maxing out CPU. Maxing our RAM is okay for the long term.

1.4Ghz for sure. As for 8GB or 16GB, if you have the budget, I recommend 16GB.

Got the entry level MBP 13, felt snappy and fast. same feel on my usage with mac mini 2018. no complaints.

the ssd is compromise based on his review tho https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtTL1UVikzI but does matter for your everyday use? then if it does then you should get the 15 then. but its almost double the price of the entry level.

but i suggest better wait for upcoming new mbp with new keyboards, just not sure if they are releasing this year though.

You got the 128GB or 256 GB? Most likely I going upgrade the Ram to 16GB and get extended warranty. But I have to check if it cover in Russia and UK since i be there 1 year each

I got the base model 128GB. Good enough for me. I have a NAS to storw my files anyway.

If extendy warranty as long as fheres an apple store service center at those countries then you'll be fine.

Apple warranty is international so both countries will be covered.

Just call up Apple. If pay by dbs still got rebate about 100+ dollar

Any cover/sleeves that you guys can recommend? or accessories that must have to get.

satechi......

 

[Eidekos]

Incase sleeves

as for usb-c, check out satechi, hyperdrive and ugreen for cheaper options.

dont try those unheard of brands coz once connected might block the wifi signal for you.
