Anybody Have The 2015 Macbook Pro?

EDIT: Copped 2 weeks ago



I'm looking to cop one of the new 13" Retina Macbook Pros within the next day or so. I plan to get 256GB storage and 16GB RAM but I don't know which processor I wanna get.

They offer a base i5, an upgraded i5 (extra $188 ), and an i7 (extra $375 ).

Does anybody here have the new rMBP? If so which CPU did you get and how is it?

I wouldnt bother with the i7, unless your doing some intense video editing/rendering or gaming there is no reason for it

I have no use for a one port computer.

Base i5 is probably fine. Processors have been overpowered for 80% of people's needs for years.

Yeah I was reading that it runs a little bit hotter and will be worse on the battery as well.

I'm talking about the Pro

Yeah, I'm not doing any spectacular shyt. It's just hard to get a good overview of the real world difference since it just dropped.

i got a 2.4 i5 and its more than enough for what i do...i also edit videos and shyt sometimes with no issues. So i can just imagine a current gen i5 will be just fine, even in the long term.

I got a corei7 17" macbook pro


look to upgrade the RAM though...

 

[Golayitdown]

Think I'm gonna save that money and just get the base i5 with the options above. The clock speed doesn't seem to make $200 worth of difference.

that's the regular macbook with the 1 usb-c port.

the MPB is the same as the 2014 model except with slightly better processor standard and the force touch pad. I just bought the 2014 version fully maxed out for basically the same amount as the new one with the least amount of space.

The new trackpad takes alot to get used to. It doesn't click as deep as the regular trackpads if that makes sense.

Forgot to update the thread. Copped the base processor i5 with 16GB RAM and 256GB storage. Should be here by Thursday

You probably copped the last one from the refurb store

I got impatient waiting on them to get some more in stock and just grabbed a new one. I'm gonna be pissed when they drop a new one in the summer

You don't need 16GB of RAM
