I need advice on a MacBook Pro purchase.
Currently, I'm using a late-2015 MacBook Pro, which is the last model before the move to all USB C ports. It's been a real workhorse, but lately, I’m really feeling it’s 8GB of RAM and 2015 processor, which struggle to keep up with my workflow.
So I've been doing some perusing of the MacBook Pro models that are available, and two models have caught my eye. Aside from the display size and a couple of particular specs, they're *very* similar. I'm hoping that someone can explain to me how much of a performance difference there exists between the two, and how much better the more expensive model is over the less expensive model versus the difference in cost.
Here's what I'm considering:
Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch (2020, MWP42LL/A)
Apple MacBook Pro 16-inch (Late-2019, MVVJ2LL/A)
Thanks in advance for the help!
