Upgrading worth it?

[Casey05]

Considering upgrading from late 2016 15' 256 2.6 ghz i7 256gb flash storage w/ 16 gb DDR3 memory - to 2019 16' macbook pro (base model)

Would I see a significant improvement in overall functionality?

(I have zero problems with mine now, I just have education money I need to spend that otherwise would have gone to conferences which are currently cancelled due to some virus going around)

Depends on your uses. If you aren't taxing the CPU, GPU, SSD or RAM now. Then you probably won't see much difference.

I think you'll see improvements in both the processing power and GPU within the 16" model, and if you have to spend money or lose it, why not
