Hi all!
I’m looking to get a new MacBook Pro 16 to hopefully replace my old MBP and Windows Desktop PC.
I usually spend most of my day working with project management tools, but I also do video editing using Premiere Pro and VFX design on After Effects.
My current MBP is the base 15 inch MR932B/A
:: 2.2GHz i7
:: 16 GB RAM
:: 256GB SSD
:: 4GB Radeon Pro 555X
My Windows PC specs are:
:: AMD Ryzen 7 2700 8 Core, 16 Thread - 4.1GHz Max Boost, 3.2GHz Base
:: GeForce® RTX 2070 8GB GDDR6 Graphics Card
:: 32 GB (4 x 8GB)
:: 1TB Crucial SSD
:: 120 GB Kingston SSD
I love this PC! Spec is perfect for what I need and works like a dream. However, I want to replace both systems with one high-end MBP for portability (I hot-desk a lot!)
Looking at Apple, I was thinking about this spec for an MBP 16 inch:
:: 2.4GHz 8‑core 9th‑generation Intel Core i9 processor, Turbo Boost up to 5.0GHz
:: 32GB 2666MHz DDR4 memory
:: AMD Radeon Pro 5500M with 8GB of GDDR6 memory
:: 1TB SSD storage
$3,499.00 for the lot
On paper… this spec is better than my Windows PC. But I’ve never invested this kinda power in a portable before… so will my performance be as good as the PC, especially when running processor/GPU intensive apps? How much faster than my old MBP would it feel?!
Thanks for reading!
