The new 2018 MPBs seem to be fine in every way, except the price. I’ve been almost at the point of ordering a 13 inch 16/512, but for a bit more a 15 inch 16/256 may be a better option.
That’s where a 2015 MBP 15 inch comes along. Just saw an APPLE clearance 2.2/16/256 for the same price as a 2018 13 TB intro model. No the 2015 is not future proof, more obvious now than ever, but has the ports I’m still using, the keyboard is preferred, and although the screen may not be up to a 2018 it is still 15 inch, and I do have the option of upgrading the SSD later on this 2015.
So, thoughts? I obviously have my own, but want some others if I’m missing something. Obviously 2018 13 and 15 are more than a bit ahead powerwise, and the 2015 is getting dated in computer age. But it will be my one and only probably for a few years, so screen size, and only moved occasionally. Photoshop and lite video editing, no heavy lifting.
I guess to make this a simple question: which would you prefer, a base model 2018 TB or a base 2015 15 inch? Same price. The 15 inch is APPLE clearance so I imagine is new and can have an AppleCare warranty.
Thanks for any comments and thoughts
