2017 13in NTB Pro

[nickftw8686]

Hello!

Curious as to what everyone thinks would be a good price to get the 2017 13in 128gb NTB MacBook pro these days? Seems refurbs are 1099 but you can get a new one for around 1030 with student discount and sale prices combined.. seems like a lower entry price to a MacBook pro even given the lower specs ?

I have a 2017 nTB 16gb/256gb and its alright. Not as powerful as I thought itd be. It'll get bogged down and hot if I plug it into an external 1080p and have a bunch of applications open (word, powerpoint, pdfexpert, etc). Go for a refurbished 2016 TB in my honest opinion, or a 2015 15".

Both would be less powerful than the 2017 nTB, so what's your point?

No they're not less powerful. Higher TDP CPUs and better cooling systems. Thats my point.
