13" Upgrade RAM to 32 or processor to i7 for App Development

[ferchuming]

Hi guys!

I asked for advice here last time I bought a MacBook Pro and it really helped me !

Now, for the New MacBook Pro 13"
2.0GHz Quad-Core Processor with Turbo Boost up to 3.8GHz
512 GB Storage
Touch Bar and Touch ID

Now, I am going to use this one basically for web and app development. Maybe I will edit some video eventually but that wouldn't be the main purpose.

Should I upgrade RAM to 32GB or should I upgrade the processor to the 2.3GHz i7?

Thanks!

Upgrade RAM to 32GB first. The difference in CPUs is minimal compared to RAM. CPU would result in initial build time differences of maybe a few seconds, but having more RAM means you can have many more tabs/apps open, etc.
