I bought a 2015 Macbook Pro refurb with the below specs in Nov 2016 for around $2947 CDN.
2.5 GHz i7
16GB ram
512GB ssd
AMD Radeon R9 M370X
Ive gotten an offer for it for $2900 and Im wondering if its worth spending an addition $567 and getting a refurb 2016 macbook pro with the below specs
2.7GHz i7
16GB ram
512 GB ssd
Radeon Pro 460
I realize there are several threads online with people asking if they should upgrade or not. In this instance however Im cognizant that certain configurations of the 2016 macbook pros are not any speedier than the 2015s. Would that be the case for the above scenario? or would the aforementioned 2016 config out perform the 2015 enough to warrant spending an addition $567?
Aside from performance I see that the new 2016 design and specs are facing certain issues being first generation is it worth taking the risk of buying a first generation or sticking with the final proven iteration that was 2015?
Thanks
