2016 MacBook Pro vs 2017 MacBook

I sure hope you travel a lot! ;-)

And make enough money on those travels to balance this out financially.

Thanks. Most of my travel is by auto so carrying it is not a big deal. I appreciate the help. Is the RAM in the 2017 MB the same as the RAM in the 2016 MBP w/TB? Thanks

Well portability / form factor of the 12" MB is a winner and a real benefit over MBP.

But besides that the MBP wins hands down.

Doesn't matter what you do and how light your usage is the performance and power difference is clearly noticeable.

I had a 2014 MBP and switched to 2016 MB M5,I love the portability and form factor however even during light casual use,I can easily see the performance difference.

There are noticeable hiccups and sometimes lags compared to the 2014 MBP,for example minimizing followed by maximising a busy page with videos or even sometimes youtube pages.

Nothing major but there are clear differences.

I still much prefer the tra book form factor though.

I replaced the MBP with MB 1 month ago so still have a good memory of how things ran on the Pro.

The technology that incorporates the new MacBook with its USB-c ports, is the technology of the future
, but not of the present.For this reason, we users must use different accessories, to cover the lack of ports that our Mac have.

ive just recently purchased a usb-c hub for my new macbook 2017, and this fantastic all in one device is perfect for my needs as it gives me the usb ports i need aswell as a HDMI socket which supports usb 3.0 aswell as 4k video, ethernet connection at a fast speed at most importantly the type C connection which is the future of technology,ive been using it now for just over 2 weeks the only issue i have experienced is it getting a little bit hot when having lots of different devices connected to it at one time but overall its a great little product,very slimline design,comes complete with carrycase its not just designed for apple products,i forgot to mention it also supports micro SD aswell as standard SD

where I got the usb c hub from: http://www.qacqoc.com/product/gn30h...-superspeed-usb-3-0-for-macbook-12-inch-gray/
