I got an offer for the maxed out 2017 13” TB model with i7 (3.5ghz), 16GB of ram, 512gb of ssd for RM6600 (brand new sealed in box).
I’m battling within myself if I should get the 2018 TB base model instead with a quad core processor, T2 chips, better keyboard, True Tone display etc.
The Mac will be solely use for learning purpose at home with some light internet browsing. My main concern is the longevity of the Mac for the next few years as I will want to keep this Mac for at least 3 years.
*ps I owned a 2017 13 base model (Tb) for a year and sold it off due to screen issue, this would be my second Mac.
I did made my own research on many website but mostly ppl are comparing either the 2017 13 W/out touchbar and the 2018 tb base model hence I’m posting this out to seek for opinions. Thanks.

I got this offer from carousell. I did end up getting this Mac and quite liking it. It is brand new sealed in box not activated yet, it lack of the 2018 new features but for the price I think it’s quite worth it haha.
