So, I trying to decide between a refurb of the Macbook Pro 2016 with 256 GB, radeon 450 graphics ($2600) and a refurb of the 2015 15" 512 GB macbook pro with radeon r9 370x graphics ($2400). The price difference is negligible to me. I prefer the 15" purely because of the larger display, don't really do a whole lot of intensive work and just some gaming with older titles.
For the 2015 model, I like the larger storage, though i don't really need it, and the fact that i won't need a dongle.
For the 2016 model, I do like the lighter weight, touch id, better display on the new macs.That said, I have heard about the graphics and battery issues on the newer models. I've read through some of the threads but I can't decide on which one to go for at the moment. I'm a college student without a laptop at the moment, and i don't anticipate needing a whole lot of dongles if I go with the 2016 model.I plan to keep the laptop for at least 4-5 years. I will be needing the laptop within the next two weeks so I'll need to place an order within the next 2 days if I hope to have it shipped in time.
Which one would you recommend? Thanks
