Hey everyone,
I am about to purchase my first MBP, so i went through bajillion articles, reviews and videos about MBPs, however still cannot decide, thus came here in desperate need of advice from someone who had used them before.
Considering the sum i can afford to spend on it, I've stopped on two options:
1) 13'' MBP mid-2017 without Touch Bar
2.3GHz dual-core 7th-generation Intel Core i5
8GB 2133MHz LPDDR3 memory
128GB SSD storage
Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640
2) 13'' MBP early-2015 with Retina display
2.7GHz Intel Core i5 (Broadwell)
16GB 1866 MHz LPDDR3 RAM
256GB PCIe-Based Flash Storage
Integrated Intel Iris Graphics 6100
So, as a person who mainly uses a laptop for editing photos and videos, i would prefer the second one with the SD cardreader, USB-3 ports, bigger storage and RAM. However, the idea of buying a laptop which was manufactured 3 years ago kinda makes me concerned, since a lot of sources are saying that soon the new MBP will be released and USB-C ports will become common in the nearest future (but having only two of them and a bunch of dongles is a huge drawback)...
Idk... any ideas? sos!
