MacBook Pro 13" or 15" for App Development

[ferchuming]

Hi there!

I am just hesitating so much between these two MBP ! I am starting an App Development course and I would like to specialize on iOS Apps with Swift. My course also includes some other programming languages so I will have to install a virtual machine with Windows on my Mac.

Now, I was about to get the 2019 MacBook Pro 13"

• 2.4GHz quad-core 8th-generation Intel Core i5 processor
• Turbo Boost up to 4.1GHz
• Intel Iris Plus Graphics 655
• 8GB 2133MHz LPDDR3 memory
• 256GB SSD storage

But should I spend those extra $$ and go for the 2019 MacBook Pro 15"

• 2.6GHz 6-core 9th-generation Intel Core i7 processor
• Turbo Boost up to 4.5GHz
• Radeon Pro 555X with 4GB of GDDR5 memory
• 16GB 2400MHz DDR4 memory
• 256GB SSD storage

I don't know what to do!

Hope you guys can help me

Thank you so much!

For a course 13” is fine but upgrade to 16GB of RAM.
