i'm aiming 13' non-touch bar version but unfortunately processor upgrade doesnt apply to this model.
13' touch bar version start with 7500, with only 4 core and 8gig ram(2133)
if i upgrade the ram to 16gig + i7 cpu, the price is RM9500, compare to 15'+i7+16+radeon whic only RM9800
why apple? i dun want 15' le
The 15" more value compared to the 13"
But many go for 13" because of the form factor and size. Fits in bag nicely. So Apple know how to play the emotion and get more profits per 13" sold.

So I configure the Mac I wanted and it's RM 14k+

lol, good luck with their sales.
Got any problem with their touchbar?

No problem with it.
The only problem is you are paying 1 thousand more for that touchbar.... I rather save that 1k and get a non touchbar one, but for some reason apple didn't release a non touchbar version....
Oh, you referring to 13" right?

photo editing i think it is pretty much considered normal tasks.
i5 + 8gb ram should be sufficient.
but if really to upgrade, this will my order.
512GB SSD (a must) > 16GB ram > i7
What's your opinion between 16GB and 32GB RAM? Who will need the extra RAMs?

I would upgrade the CPU more than the RAM, 16GB ram is still plenty when I open heavy photoshop + illustrator files. 8GB is different story.
Again, ask yourself how long you gonna be using the laptop. More than 5 year definitely get the 32GB upgrade.
Thanks. Another new video on i9 spec vs i7 spec.
This guy didn't put in fridge.

I've been browsing a lot of Mac forums and found out this issue is starting to cough up.
This is the reason why I'm putting on hold the upgrade from rMBP 15 2015.

Oh..that’s great! Now I can ask my friends who have this issue to bring theirs to Apple.
Thanks!
The program is up to 4 years, so still have another year to go.

Hi Sifu,
reading all the post and is it advisable to buy macbook pro 13 2018?
the price is very tempting as compare to 2019..
basically i just use it for personal daily usage, some photo/video editing..no gaming nor programming..
is the keyboard a real big issue?
Thanks all for the advise.
Don't have to worry as the keyboard is covered for 4 years.
