2018 TB 13" 8go or 2017 NTB 13" 16go ?

[Vilfredo]

Hello everyone,

I bought a 13" Mac book pro 2018 8go last week. Today I'm hesitating to refurb it for a 2017 one without Touch Bar and 16go.

I have 2000 euros to spend for this computer. two possibilities :

- I keep the 8go 2018 13" TB one.
- I take a 16go 2017 13" NTB one.

I use my computer for school and work, writing, internet, videos, little games like The binding of Isaac.

What's the best choice for you ? I would keep this macbook a long time, that's why I hesitate with a 16go one.

Thank you ear advance.

Jaz'

Seems like you don't need 16GB, and 2018 is better in every other aspect. Keep it.

Since you're not rendering 4K in Final Cut Pro (and you shouldn't on a 13 MBP), keep the 2018.

To echo the others here, keep the 2018. The storage on these MacBook Pros are so fast (3GB/s!) anymore that when/if you need to use virtual memory, the slow down isn't as significant as in the olden days.
