I currently have the A1502 Macbook Pro 13" early 2015. Performance specs are CPU - 2.7GHz i5, Ram - 8GB DDR3 1867MHz, Intel Iris GPU - 6100 1536 Mbs, SSD - 128GB.
This Macbook's done really well over the years and I've been happy and still am happy using it although there a few things I'd like to upgrade. -Memory used is usually above 7.00gbs in activity monitor
-SSD is usually full and have been using external one for some time
-GPU is not sufficient for games that I sometimes play.
-CPU seems fine.
-Audio jack is broken so another reason to upgrade.
I use my Macbook all the time as I am a full-stack developer who works mostly from home, so performance is key. I also sometimes play games in my spear time, and do a little mixing with rekordbox which runs relatively slow on my machine.
Usually I would just go ahead and upgrade all these things but in this case it's impossible so I'm considering upgrading either to a faster 2015 Macbook Pro 2015 (probably the 15") 16GB ram, and a faster GPU. OR upgrading to the newest Macbook Pro but from what I've heard it's not worth the upgrade. This is my first time posting here so just wanting to get some advice or input to help me make a decision. Money is not a problem for me, I just think it's time for an upgrade but not sure what to buy.
Any advice would be much appreciated
