Used 2.3 i9 (2019) $1350 or refurb Mac mini

[MacDonaldTrump]

Hi I think I’m tempted to buy a used 2019 15” 2.3 8core. Still under warranty and has another year of consumer law warranty here in aus.

I know the keyboard and the throttle issues.

I just picked up 6 core i7 Mac mini from refurb store for the same amount 1350us

I think the MBP would work for me better.

Any advice?

I really can’t throw anymore at the 16” yet so need a stop gap.

Have to decide today.

Thanks

Although I love the Mac mini, I'd lean toward the MBP.. much more portable than a Mac mini. Fifteen inches is a good size screen and it isn't a year old yet. Octa-core.. nice!

Yes I can’t get past the octa and portability for uni, was going to have to iPad Remote Desktop with the mini.

Just for Lightroom, the 560 will run the 4K monitor on my desk a little nicer
