Macbook Pro 13" 2020

[Swiftbladez]

looking at the prices on Carousell, buy refurb and sell as 2nd hand don't lose much if any at all.

give it a go for a few mths and see. features wise its richer than the 13" with the only pain point being the additional weight.

we shall see how it goes over the next few mths, i took a calculated risk to "lose" some $$ if the 14" comes out and i decide i want that

I was contemplating a 16 inch too. Coming from a 2015 15 inch, the footprint is identical and the 16 inch is slightly lighter. However my needs now meant the 16 inch would be insanely overkill and I’ve been wanting to switch to a 13 inch due to the size and weight difference.

Interesting video for those coming from a 2012-2015 retina 15 inch.

exactly

my curiosity was piqued also

If you can get the 16” then just do so. No point going to the 13”. The performance gain is huge and the weight to me is negligible.

And since you are waiting for the 14”, why not just wait for the new redesign 16”

I see. The refurbished model gone very fast. You are lucky to grab one.

There is another base model 16" in space grey available if you're keen.

Anyone used the trade-in service before?
How would it work now? Will we have to drop off our mac somewhere?

Someone will pick it up from you.

I see. Thanks!

Just be patient, every month got at least once available for a week or two in stock. Of course if you need it immediate then yes seems to not be in stock

Haha I would wait but I need a laptop now.

I got the base model 16”

I7 6 core/16gb ram /512 SSD

I use iCloud and I manage my space wel.

Using it for productivity apps, sketch up/autocad

Edit: I’m also used to carrying large laptops around. I’m in IT by trade for offices and large homes.

Figured the 16” made most sense for now and more sellable if I get the rumoured unicorn of a 14” mini-led laptop when it’s available.

For Autocad, 16” model is more suitable. A 13” model will still face bottleneck.

16” is a good buy. Been using the i9 version and the performance is top class.

Anyone decided and ordered the new MBP 13" yet?

Did you hook up to an external monitor? Read there are some issues with that.

Haven’t received it but I’ve read those issues can be worked around.

Let’s not derail the thread with talks of the 16”


Back to the 13”, Reddit users who have received theirs are extremely pleased with the power and keyboard

The 2.0Ghz 13” this year is really very solid. Almost comparable with the base model 16”.
