Hey,
So Apple crushed my dream of buying a new MacBook Pro with this ridiculous pricing on the new models, so apparently if I'd ever want a good Mac I'll need to settle with a lame 13 inch model

So I have several questions.
First, are those computers strong enough? I see the 15 inches models have insane specs, and I'm afraid the smaller models aren't gonna cut it. Will they run (several) heavy software at once (visual design, video editing) and stays good for a long time or they are like half-assed models of the big one (kinda like the iPhone 7 compared to the 7 Plus)?
The other thing is, when I compare models in the Apple site (and sorry because I have no idea about tech specs), but the older MacBook Pro (13 inch) seems to have higher specs than the new one, yet it costs less. Does it really worth it to invest in the new models, or I can just buy the old one and still have a dope computer (considering price is indeed an issue)?
