Hi everyone,
Right now I am using a 2011 15" MacBook Pro with 16gb ram and SSD.
I am thinking of upgrading towards the new 2016 nTB MBP. I mainly want a smaller and more portable MacBook.
My only concern is wether the 2016 nTB MacBook is capable of doing big data analytics with R, Weka and Python or other apps which are associated by this. Can anyone of you with data experience tell me if programs like these will run as smooth on the 2016 2.0 ghz i5 in comparison with a quad core for example.
Will I notice a difference either positively or negatively?
Thanks,
Gerlof
