Hey guys,
just been in the Apple store checking over and resetting my 12" MacBook (2015)..for return to the company I purchased from, and have a new"ish" MBP on order..
I love the form factor and portability of the MB Retina, its my favourite Apple design, also the keyboard, I knows its marmite, but hey, I think its awesome!
I have had a few issues with it, so I managed to source a great deal on a 2017 MBP, (will update once I get it (Monday)).
Its not the most powerful or up to date Mac I do realise this, but its only for Spotify, E-mail and Safari on the go, do I don't need crazy power..
Even the Genius said the difference from the 2015 MB to the 2017 MBP will be night and day..which is great, as I thought that (even though I knew it was a lot slower) was ok for my tasks, so having the extra oomph, like my M1 MM or iPad Pro, will be a nice change!
The last thing, is I am very anal about condition of my tech, and even though I bought the MB knowing the condition was not 100% it was only for out and about usage, so I overlooked this, but as time went on, it defiantly bothered me more and more..
The MBP is also got a solid year warranty and is a "excellent" condition bracket (I paid a bit more for this as apposed to saving a few £££ as like I said, condition is in general, important to me). If I receive this on Monday and its not what I expected I will replace for another one of the same, as the deal and the pre-sale conditioning of the unit is very thorough..
So, as I get it and setup, I will update the thread accordingly.
