Hey guys,
currently I have an iMac. While it's a great computer, I want something portable. So I thought about replacing it with a MacBook 12", MacBook Pro 13" (or even an iPad Pro).
I need the device for:
Office, surfing the web and a bit of media consumption.
Sadly, using both Macs in store didn't clear my mind.
My thoughts about the MacBook Pro:
- it has more power
- it has better battery life
- it has a bigger screen (good for split view)
My thoughts about the MacBook:
- it is lighter
- it has more storage (because I'd buy the 128GB MBP which costs the same in my country as the 256GB MB)
- the speaker seemed to be better (please correct me if I'm wrong! - is the speaker good on the MBP?)
- its keyboard made a better impression the the MBP's
While I could live with the single port on the MB, I wonder if the screen is big enough. The single inch more on the MBP was a big difference. But the 12" screen might be enough when I use it on my desk.
I also wonder if the MBP is portable enough. Even though I'm a tall man with big hands, this machine seemed bulky compared to the MB. I want to carry the device with me in my bag all the time.
What's your take on my thoughts so far?
I just want to buy a device that's portable, functional and will provide good services for the next few years.
I'm thankful for any advice you can offer.
My brain says MBP but my heart says MB .
