Hey all!
I am facing a dilemma and cannot make up my mind on which 2020 13" macbook pro model to order. I have my eyes set on the i5/16gb ram/512gb ssd, $1800 configuration. If I decide to go with 32gb of ram, I might as well upgrade the cpu to 2.3ghz and 1tb of storage. I am not a power user by any means, but with how expensive these macbooks are, I want to purchase the best model possible so it will last for years to come. If I go with 16gb will I regret not getting 32gb later? Some say 16gb is slowly becoming the standard. If I go with 32gb, would that be unnecessary and overkill? Is it just a waste of money or is it an investment? I plan on using the laptop for video editing in both 1080p and 4k.
This is a difficult choice for me because as I don't want to end up making the wrong decision. Money is not really an issue but I also don't want to spend the extra money if I don't need to. I will be getting the 13 inch model as the 16 inch is too big for me.
What do you guys think? Go with 16gb or 32gb?
Thanks!
