[metalliguns69]

I have a 2017 MacBook pro with a touch bar and theres a deal at Best Buy that lowers the price on the 2018 model so if I exchange it I would be paying $50 is there that big of a difference on these 2 models i use it for school and my kids do some casual gaming (fortnite) any help will be appreciated thanks in advance

I would absolutely exchange it for $50, if you can really get that deal. It's a year newer, so why not?

You don't have to. Would you trade a 2017 car for the same 2018 model for $50? It's the same idea.

Does it matter if one of them is dual core and the other one is a quad core? I’m too new to this lol sorry

Two engines vs four engines. Or four cylinders vs eight cylinders. 🙂

Ensure that the RAM and SSD are the same or better on the newer one.

They’re both 8gb ram 2017 is 2.9 gigahertz 2018 is 2.3

The 2018 is a flat-out better machine in every regard. For $50, it shouldn't even be a question.

 

[boast]

Yes, do it

 

[Sterkenburg]

That's a killer deal, and pretty much a no-brainer.

Where are you trading in your MacBook Pro to get a trade in so close to the same price as a brand new 2018?

Just curious as if it only costs $50 it’s something that’d I’d be interested in!

Not a trade is an exchange from Best Buy with the 30 day return policy

Oh ok, I didn’t realize you were still within the return period for the 2017.

I would undoubtedly trade in the 2017 for the 2018. The quad core processor is completely worth the extra $50!

As a side note ... for those in the Military that shop at the NEX/PX, the 2017 and 2018 15" MacBook Pros sell for the same price. Be sure to look on the back and get the 2018 (model # A1990) vice the 2017 (Model # A1707.)

Go for it, the 2018 model is better in everything, Quad Core CPU, Keyboard, Screen (True Tone), Speakers.

Improved keyboard too.
