Hi everyone,
I just made a post about what to do with an iPad, but now the seller reneged, so now the Macbook would be my only portable device. I kind of think it's better that way.
Anyway, I can't decide between the Macbook Pro 2015, 256 GB, Macbook Pro 2016, and the straight up Macbook 2016.
I just started a two year coding course. We're doing CSS / HTML and JS now and then mainly focus on Java.
The Macbook seems to have a lot going for it, mainly the size and weight and the price (I can't believe I'm saying this!). I would feel quite comfortable taking this with me every day, especially if I cover the obnoxious branding with a Dbrand skin.
The 2015 MBP is cheaper, so I could get a lot more storage, plus additional slow storage via a Jetdrive.
There's also MagSafe, which I adore, and a good selection of ports.
The 2016 MBP has much better speakers, is lighter, has a brighter screen etc. But it's also vastly more expensive, especially if I want to go up to 512 GB. USB C would be cool because it could charge my phone and Nintendo Switch as well, but it's also a huge drag because of dongles.
Last option is to get a cellular iPad after all and get a 15'' 2015 Macbook Pro for use at home...
Honestly, I can't decide.
Help please? Especially if you're a developer who has used either of the computers.
