Bought 13 inch 1.4Ghz 8GB 256Gb SSD Space Grey instead from Machines on Friday...
At first I was skeptical whether to upgrade SSD or RAM for d past week prior to launch, but overall I feel very satisfied of the specs in the long run... I played some Steam games, tested YouTube vids and running few programs that is not power taxing, all ran well Perfect laptop for me in the long run |

QUOTE(Mavik @ Aug 19 2019, 06:15 PM) I would recommend at least protecting oneself using any means above over the usual. If you can't afford it, there are plenty of free software tools out there as well. I tend to use Avast and for my office's Mac, we use Symantec. Actually not needed. It is more of user behaviour’s problem than protection problem. |

So attracting, keep visiting Apple website
Planned with 16gb+512gb, any of these two component can reduce if I planned to run Windows via dualboot/VM? Or I should also increase the storage to 1TB? Pricing quoted with student price |

Or I should also increase the storage to 1TB? Pricing quoted with student price 1TB depends on ur pockets i think. if you got $$ to spare, of course the more the better. price to upgrade to 1TB from 512GB is actually same for upgrade to 512GB from 256GB if not wrong. so the extra u paid for storage, you actually get more because apple reduces price to upgrade to 1TB. |

Main reason is because of Ransomware. |

I am still using a Macbook Pro Retina 15' Mid 2012 when they first came out..
Back then buy 6k Mbp for my school project + photo editing work... already so expensive.. Still using it until today and the only downside is 128gb and the laptop cannot handle more than 40 tabs open as I am doing my research and dissertations. Terrible, I am horny to get a new laptop but 15inch is about 12k.. I am not sure if this is Apple increase in price or the inflation in prices of technological devices. I don't really care so much about technology stuff and don't feel is necessary to upgrade them too frequently. Besides, just horny wanting a new 15inch ligher and faster to support my work process.. Is anyone still using the 2012 Mbp like me here? |
