Hi all.
I’m debating if I should go 13” or 15” for my new MacBook. I come from a 27” iMac and also habe the 10” iPad Pro w/ keyboard.
I will mostly do programming (Python, C++), stats and data analysis. I never had a 15” since I feared that it’s just to large for traveling, but now I mostly have the iPad Pro with me (and love it for mail, text)... At home I do have a 27” USB-C monitor and external keyboard setup...
So, I wonder:
- Are there any benchmarks for the new models yet?
- Does the system benefit from the dGPU in the 15” much? I won’t need it for graphics or games. Would love a dGPU for CUDA, but since they are AMD no go anyway...
- Will I have better battery live with the integrated graphics in the 13”?
My biggest issues right now: price. The 13” in my conf. (I7, 1TB, 16GB) already exceed 3000 Euro with edu pricing...
Cheers,
