hi all,
I’m currently considering purchasing a new 2018 MacBook Pro to upgrade my late 2013 retina.
I’m starting a computer science degree in about 6 weeks time so need to make a decision on whether to get one, my current system is a 13” 2.6Ghz i5, 256gb SSD and I’d be looking to upgrade to the following configuration
My only concern with this new MBP is the price at £2140 (inc education discount) it a lot of money even though I’ve been offered £540 for my old system it’s still £1600 I’ll have to find which family said they’d loan it to me but I’m not sure whether I should be adding more outgoings to my account before I start uni when my only income will be from student finance and savings??
