I've decided not to buy a 2016 MBP focusing on these 2 refurbs.
I am a full time music producer on desktop wanting to go mobile. I will carry an external drive for extra storage, as in our field we need lots of data for samples and audio files.
Of course the 2.5 model has more power and SSD space. I'm just wondering if it's really worth it power-wise?
Also, I am affraid that a GPU model (2.5) would overheat and trigger the fans while being less-reliable in the long rong than the Iris pro 5200 model (2.2) . What's your opinion on this? Thanks.
