Hi there,
I’ve posted something similar before but have a bit more info now. Just about to splash the cash on a new macbook.
I'm really torn between a 2020 13 inch pro M1 - base model or a 256 15 inch 2018 pro bought from Ebay.
I save £200 getting the 15 inch
My main uses would be Logic pro, Matlab and browsing. A thing to consider is I have a PC as a main workstation and the M1 doesnt support native windows which is annoying. Also I’m migrating from a 15 inch Alienware which didn’t have an insane keyboard anyway.
Other things to consider:
The New keyboard is "much" better.
Matlab and solidworks aren't optimized for the m1 at all.
The older model is still twice as powerful as my last laptop and has 16gb of Ram.
Is the old keyboard really that bad? Considering I get a dedicated GPU and more screen real estate. And more ports!
Thanks for reading, any help will be appreciated.
