In Reply to: Too early to tell, at least for the new 16" MacBook Pro... posted by Ivan303 on February 11, 2020 at 11:12:42:
If you use your laptop for portability and travel there's a huge difference between carrying a 2015 13" MBP vs a 2017 or later. And isn't that what laptops are really for, portability? The specs don't tell the whole story. Carry a newer 13" MBP and carry the 2015 model. The longer battery life makes a difference too.The biggest power user complaint with the 2016/2017 15" MBP was that it was limited to 16GB RAM. Apple upped that to 32GB in 2018.
The current 16" MBP accommodates up to 64GB RAM, 8TB SSD, and 8-Core 5GHz Intel i9 CPU.... but it'll cost you! Just what I need for playing my PCM music files. You know, the same ones that our $40 RPi can play ;-)
P.S. I found a BH Photo deal on a new 21" iMac that's a couple years outdated. The only thing I didn't like was the 1TB spinning HDD inside as I wanted a SSD. But with the iMac's super fast Thunderbolt / USB-C port, I attached an external USB-C SSD and made it bootable. The thing screams! And at a fraction of the cost of a new iMac.
