Hello everyone,
I am in the privileged position to be able to upgrade my late 2013 base model (4gb RAM, 128 SSD, retina) macbook pro. If I was to buy a new MBP I would go for the recently upgraded MPB with touchbar. This Macbook has now been upgraded with a quadcore CPU and is here in Holland for sale for almost 2000 euros. With the back to school action this MBP is for sale for around 1880 euros.
But I recently got my doubts. My 2013 MBP is still preforming really well. I only notice some performance drops when editing 1080 video footage in FCP. Overall the macbook still performs really well but does starts showing its age when it comes to video editing sometimes. So here comes my question: Is it worth buying the newly upgraded quad core MBP with touch bar? Am I going to see such a difference in performance that it's worth spending almost 1900 euros, or should I keep using my 2013 MBP until it's so slow I can no longer use it?
I would love to hear everyone's thoughts!
Thanks in advance!
