Hi guys!
Currently, I have a late 2013 13" rMBP with 256 GB SSD and 8GB RAM. As my wife's computer is in its last living moments, I am thinking about buying a new rMBP for me and pass her my late 2013 rMBP.
Usually, I do some lightroom photo editing, also edit with slightly heavy pixelmator files, browse the web with 10+ tabs open, use a bootcamp partition to play CS:GO.
I have been reading the forum and the comments, but I am still insecure regarding which model to buy (I will buy a refurbished one).
Right now, I am thinking between these two:
- 13.3" 3.1 GHz i5 with TB, 16 GB RAM and 256 SSD (mid 2017)
- 13.3" 2.3 GHz i5 non-TB, 16 GB RAM and 512 SSD (mid 2017) <- cheaper than the first
- Do you find the TB useful?
- I guess the CPU speed isn't that much of a difference to be noticed, but what do you guys think?
- Do you advice me to look for 2016 models and try to spec them up, rather than buying a more recent one?
Thank you for the help!
