I am thinking of just getting the $2799 model of the new 16" as Best Buy has them for $100 off already. I mostly do productivity work, audio editing for podcast and about 2-3 hours of video editing a week with a bigger project every 3-6 months of about 10 hours of video to editing down into 20 clips. And I would be coming from the 512GB SSD, 560X and 16Gb of RAM on my current machine. But for me the keyboard and the 1TB drive is making me have to get this upgrade. Also I tend to get a new machine every 18-months to 2-years.
So the two options I am looking at have a $645 ($780 if BBRewards Included) difference
I am guessing for what I do the 32GB of ram and the 8GB video might be overkill? The 4GB 5500m is already about 90% faster that the 560x?
