I’m looking at the 2019 MBP 13" 2.8GHz i7 with 512GB vs staying with the 2.4GHz i5 and upping the storage to 1TB. The latter option ends up costing about $100 less since Apple reduced the price of higher tier storage upgrades. If not for that I was going for the i7/512.
My primary use is Logic Pro X with some synth instruments that perform better with a higher single-core score (U-he Diva, Massive X). But I also use sample instruments and that extra storage space on Apple’s fast SSD would be useful for sampled virtual instruments, large downloads/extractions, etc.
Would you go for the extra speed or extra space? I primarily use a 2018 Mac Mini 6-core i7 512/32GB but will be traveling soon and need something portable. My 13” 2009 MBP weighs a ton and is long in the tooth. Also, I prefer the 13” form factor for the portability and desk space aspects.
