2020 13" MacBook Pro VS 16" MacBook Pro! Why Pay TWICE As Much?!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 июн 2020
- Today we're comparing two of my favorite computers in recent times. My very first apple computer was a 13" MacBook Pro from 2015 and I'll always have a soft spot on my heart for this product line, but the 16" from 2019 is an absolute monster of a computer that trounces it in every performance way.
But does that really matter?

the 16 inch is really amazing, but its honestly insane and unacceptable that an almost 3000 dollar-after-tax base model piece of tech comes with a 720p camera in 2020.
I was just gonna write that this 16" MBP for $2399 has a worse cam than a $399 Surface Go. Wow!
If you want a camera buy an iphone.
@@Dorto123 Video calls my dude. I'm a big fan of apple laptops, their mic is great, but the webcam sucks. I actually don't care about the price that much, cos I buy my Mac and upgrade every 4 years or so. Hopefully they at least add the option to upgrade the iSight camera, I'll pay if they can go for 1080p or even 4k lol
@@Dorto123 For Zoom calls? I guess I could, but still seems odd that a $3k device doesn’t have a decent camera. You don’t think so?
You’re complaining like if you were buying a DSLR/mirror less camera and saying the integrated microphone sucks
Hey Everydad Dad,
Thanks so for this.
The topic you come up with are best combinations
I've ordered a 13" MacBook Pro and I can't stop watching the videos until it arrives!
Nice 👍
Getting my 16 inch soon! I’m super excited I’ve never had a Mac before
Wanted to stop in and say thanks for all the great vids. I know this is off topic from this vid but your older vids actually helped me get my beginner setup goin. The H1N Zoom is by far one of my favorite pieces I got and i'm glad I listened to your thoughts on it. so again thanks :) keep up the great vids.
I love how he’s always uploading
Gotta keep making videos!

@@TheEverydayDad Should i buy a macbook pro 13 inch i5 10th gen or the 16 inch macbook pro as a coder and a web developer . Is 13 inch MBP powerful enough for my college coding assignments and web development project .
Thanks man you have successfully made me unsure about my decision to buy the 16 MBP xD. Great content as always!
Just got my Mac book pro 16!! It’s awesome :)
Thats awesome! I'm glad it works out for you!
Got it 6 Months ago.... still awesome:D
Is it still worth buying now even with the new refresh with intel 10th gen maybe coming out next week at WWDC?
Ryushei it’s more than likely not coming out at WWDC. More likely around September or October. Plus, ARM Apple processors are rumored to be announced at WWDC
Me too. I just got mine (16 base) for just 200 EUR premium over the 13 inch (1800 Dollar Model).
No-brainer for me, because the 16 inch ist just so much better value and the more modern devise.👍🏼
Thank you for the video and it's great. You talked a lot about power of the 16 inch, but there is some people including me caring more about the screen size, not too much on power. I like the 16 inch screen as it gives me lots of real estate to work on.
I’m gonna be going for the base 13 inch one! Will be doing some video editing for RUclips and everyday tasks, I’m pretty sure it’ll serve me well 👍🏻 amazing video btw, one of the most underrated tech you tubers
Thanks so much! I hope you enjoy the MacBook!
If actually just bought myself the 13 inch base model, and it is super smooth. Have fun :)
@@dennismaier2839 have you done any photoshop or web development on your 13"? I am debating hard between 13 and 16. cheers mate
@@TheEverydayDad hey i am a new web/software developer and do you think mac 13 will work perfectly? or should i get the 16? please reply i really need this answer
@@zacharyerskine4277 hey im also a web developer n I was wondering getting thee 16 over 13 is good or is it money wasted?
Have you ever slammed anything I’ve never seen you slamming any things😂😂
A few things, but the more expensive the less likely it'll get slammed to the table.
@@TheEverydayDad nice rip windows
@@TheEverydayDad i bought a mac.... keyboard and track pad is the best.......what is windows doing.......
@@masternobody1896 They're actually doing the pretty darn well at the moment! Lenovo and XPS line are great at the moment, and there are tons of good options!
Alex Wilson Yeah, I wouldn’t say that the keyboard is miles ahead of any Windows laptops, but Apple’s trackpads are better than basically everything else out there
I love these new thumbnails so much! That new wood table is really nice!
Thanks so much! I'm a huge fan of this desk. Its absolutely my favorite desk I've ever owned.
Thanks for the review I just got a job and am now trying to save up for the 16 inch
I was just thinking about which tech guy is gonna do a video like this!
This was very very helpful thank you! i am now subbed :)
Very good comparison, thank you!!
Love your channel!!
Thanks so much!
Great video - been struggling over the choice as a replacement for my 2011 MBA which is actually still doing great as a daily light use machine (I’ve never had a PC last this long). I have to handle each of these new Macs in person though to decide - hoping the local Best Buy or Apple store is open again soon.
You’re epic dude . I just love your videos
3:42 Just for a second I thought we were going to have a boardroom meeting right there 🤣
Great video! You were very informative!
Thank you, Everyday Dad👍👍👏👏🌹
Thank you! I appreciate these videos on the MacBook pros
I am very happy when I got to know your channel and loved it a lot and started following it over and over again I wish you all the best and success. I follow you from Iraq ❤️🇮🇶
I purchased my MacBook Pro 16 refurbished base model from MicroCenter for $1699 with three year extended warranty a few weeks ago. Best decision I’ve ever made waiting. This thing is a monster besides the garbage 720p camera.
And btw there’s a new graphics card for the 16inch, i’m guessing this video was made beforehand
Super slick. Well done/great job.
This. Was. SO GREAT
Thanks so much!
Really good review 👍
Thanks for sharing!
I just got the 2.0 MacBook Pro 13” and upgraded to 16gb of ram - I’m so excited! My first MacBook!
Keep doing what your doing great video 👍👨💻
I just discovered your channel ! you deserve wayyyyy more subs ! Such a fab youtuber ! I am buying the 16 inch i9 1 TB version, as a laptop, I will be using for the next 4-5 years ! So so excited !
I'm buying the exact same thing! I've obsessing over it for months and I don't care to wait for the refresh so I'm super excited!
I’ve just been watching his videos and a new sub! He’s excellent and explains it to the EVERYDAY person! :). I’ve been so back and forth with a 13 vs 16 vs M1 vs Intel……………head spinning! The I9 is right now on such a great sale at our local store it’s drawing me in!
@@sylviat8461 Go for it to be honest - i9 are amazing deals - to be honest, after using the M1 for 5 months it has its flaws, many flaws - you do great with the i9 since its a tried and tested eco system and you will honest not face any issues. You can always replace it in 2 years once they have perfected the M1 chip!
@@haneensheikh4098 it’s done and purchased. Even the guy at the store was telling me I should get this with the sale it has on it (and no, they don’t make commission). 😉
Great video!!
I like the 16 but really may as well buy a desktop I’m not lugging that around and putting it on my lap
So 13 for me
same reason I bought 13...
its really not that bad on your lap, you get used it and after a while I definitely now prefer it over the 13 inch models I have.
I tried MBP 16. And returned it after few days because of the same thinking. It is so big that I just don't want to use it anywhere other than my desk. But in this case it is just doesn't make sense to have a laptop. May be for someone who is travelling a lot and does heavy work on the go. Otherwise iMac 27 + MB Air/MB Pro 13 is the best combination
Do You Think the 13incher would be a good 4K editor, if I'm shooting in 4K and rendering it to 1080? I use adobe so between Adobe and Final cut Pro, which of these do you think is more processor hungry? I'm thinking of swapping out my 2017 iMac and just curious as I have the Top Based Model 21 inch model.
Ordered the base $1,799 MacBook Pro 13 yesterday from Best Buy. Super excited and also got it for 1599 with the discount. Great video!
i had both. ended up keeping the 13. the larger one is better in terms of specs. but the 13 is just so much lighter and easier to carry around. hook it up to an external display and the iris graphics is still good enough. decided to leave gaming to the consoles. in the long term Ive always had problems with laptops that use dedicated graphics.
I do love the MacBook Pro 13, its easily one of my favorite computers ever made, I'm typing this response on mine.
What kind of problems have you had? And does that include MacBook Pros or only windows laptops?
@@SmokedHam444 both, i 'have' a lot since I used to work in IT. from my experience it seems that laptops with dedicated graphics cards had shorter life spans. issues with the logic board or gpu going bad early. I suspect a lot of this has to do with the high heat they produce. its why often I'm told.. if you want to game, do it on a desktop or leave it with consoles.
im thinking of getting the 16inch for my studies (its a science subject) so I won't use the laptop as much in terms of video editing etc but I also want to keep it for like 4/5 years and I like having big screens in general, Do you think the 16inch can last that long or not??
Agree on GPUs blowing out. I need to replace my MBP 15" because of that right now. Too bad they don't offer a MBP13" with a 16" screen, or even taking the higher spec'd air that could go like 15-17 hours with no thermal issues. I really want the 16 but am also worried about the GPU heat issues and lower product life. Sigh...
TED really makes everything so easy to understand
Hello from Ecuador, Great video, I’m a hobbyist photographer in need of a laptop to edit my images, I use Lightroom and Photoshop, the question is 13”, 16” MBP or Dell XPS17 ?
can the 13" handle 4k 60fps h265/hevc smooth preview on timeline? fcpx and pr
I’ve been trying to decide between the 2020 MBP 13, 2019 MBP 16 and waiting until the fall for the 2020 MBP. I’m excited for WWDC next Monday to see updates to the iMac as well. I may get the iMac with an iPad Pro. It’ll depend on the prices and sales on Black Friday/Cyber Monday.
They might refresh the iMac 🖥 it might be a good option. A iPad Pro is super powerful it’s like a computer. Nice
@@ygrhifgcydvgygvrobo635 do they normally announce MacBooks at wwdc or do they do that with the iPhone event?
Love your videos
Thanks so much!
love you dad (everyday)
Excellent video
Please! PEEEEAAAASE!!! More content Bout the 13“ MacBook Pro 💻 I will order mine in about two months and I need something to shortening the painful waiting! Best wishes from Germany
I hav 2019 mbp 13” and it is very good and very fast and very nice graphics
Befinde & fühle mich in der selben Situation.. haha Grüße aus Stuttgart😁👊🏻
Hab mir letztes Jahr zum Studienstart das MacBook Pro 13“ 2019 gekauft - ein fantastischen Teil für meine eher niedrigen Anforderungen im BWL-Studium. Schnell, leise, ausdauernd und mit MacOS mit der besten Software für PC‘s und Laptops ausstattet. Die Interaktion mit iPhone und iPad ist einzigartig und absolut fantastisch.
@@aee9526 Mein Macbook Pro 13 ist vor circa 2 Wochen schon bei mir angekommen. ich musste doch schon etwas früher zuschlagen. Und bisher bin ich begeistert. es ist ein riesen umstieg gewesen und ich lerne auch immernoch den Umgang mit MacOS und Final Cut Pro X aber ich bin mir sicher das ich es nicht bereuen werde!
Ich hab mein Basismodell heute bestellt! Kommt rechtzeitig zum studienbeginn an 😄
Got the 13 inch with 16 GB RAM for photography and everyday tasks, it’s great! I’ve owned two Windows machines and a Mac Mini, and 13inch is my favorite computer by far! (Do I wish I got the 16inch yes, but money)
I got my new 2020 13” MacBook Pro last Friday from BestBuy’s $200 off sale! 😁 Such a nice laptop! Honestly, it’s probably the best laptop I’ve ever owned. Great screen, great keyboard, impressive cooling, and macOS is such a nice experience! I ended up getting the third tier base model which is more than enough for me (I’m a software developer). I also tried a few games on it and it’s pretty darn smooth! Minecraft was the most impressive; I heard the fans spinning, felt the bottom of my laptop, and it wasn’t hot at all! The improved thermals on this laptop are pretty darn good! I also tried Unity and Blender and it was still staying cool!
Apple... 👏👏 Props to you! 10/10 laptop! Would definitely recommend!
Yes definitely agree. I also went with the 13 inch MacBook Pro. It’s more mobile
I'd get the 16" MBP. I do video editing and other graphics stuff that requires more cores and better graphics than the 13" one.
The Everday Dad really coming in clutch with these comparisons
Okay great video. So would you then suggest for some people to get a higher spec 13in if they like portability over the base if they are video editing?
Couple of things: I use the 16" because I need a larger screen and I still have the external monitor connected to a TB3 dock that provides just enough juice to keep mine alive. No I do not edit videos or large photoshop with tons of overlays and blends but I manage cloud storage and I do manage backups. Most of that is done on the server side however having at least 12 windows open on my screens daily still make the processor go into the high 70's - I am excited for the Dell XPS 17 to be honest :-). Today the refresh came out and it is a bit of a letdown for a lot of people, yet I truly enjoy the larger laptop. The past two, almost three months, it has been on at least 12 hours a day. I do take my laptops out of the house at some point, but for now it is fine, I have my setup the way I love it. The other major issue with the 13" is the heat, that thing gets so almighty hot and I work on the laptop most of the time. I love the keyboard, be it the butterfly or the scissor keys but I like to have my screen a little closer. The 16" MBP does get warm but I have made some changes and I do not care if the fans run a little more often. Last year I went through four 13" MBPs and I even bought the fully decked out and still could not work comfortably on it with the palm rests overly hot.
Great video. Please publish the links to your desktop setup - monitor and the keyboard
What if I got the mbp 13” with the i7, 16GB ram and 256SSD. Is that good enough for video editing? $2k is my budget for a 4K video editing laptop right now
So I like to have Final Cut and Photoshop open at the same time to go back and forth, and on the dated iMac I’m currently using, it is not the best experience. I’m also used to a bigger screen but an external display would pretty much solve that for me. Should I go for the more powerful 13 or the base 16?
base 16, you won't regret it. its amazing
Hey Daddyo thanks for the informative comparison. Question: how much bigger is the 16" trackpad v. the 13"? Thanks a bunch.
I Got the 2020 13 inch 1,800 Dollar version. Well 200 dollars off Best Buy.
But. I also have a Mac Pro with More Power, so that handles all the heavy lifting. MacBook Pro is basically for editing Photos on the Fly.
Nice! Yeah if you already have a desktop the 13 is a really awesome addition.
Way overpriced.
I have the 2019 MBP 16in i9 for music production and I'm loving it
i got mine for coding and networking so it. suits me perfectly!
do you use an external monitor for it? and if so, which one do you use? i’m currently having thermal issues with mine (heats up & gets so hot...moreso than any previous models that i’ve experienced), and am wondering if that’s being exacerbated by my external monitor (type?)
Lovely video bro. You are killing it with your reviews. Just a question and need your take on this. Am getting the 13 inch pro base model this week. Stuff i do : Video editing in 1080p and 4k at times, spotify, lots of netflix and youtube, reading articles, ms office, outlook and zoom calls. Will the 8 gb RAM suffice?
Aside from future-proofing your device, there's definitely a significant improvement if you go for a 16gb ram. If you want to add a bit of storage as well, I would suggest just go for the higher end 13" model as you can also benefit from more Thunderbolt 3 ports, better processor, better RAM, better speakers, and better cooling among other things, for a small price difference. However, if that's too much then the base model plus $120 more for a 16gb RAM upgrade is recommended. They also currently have an ongoing educational promo ($100 off + free AirPods) in the US. Cheers!
I got the 10th gen 13 inch. Music production doesn't really require the graphics, and I only do very basic 1080p editing, so not much need for the 16!
Alex Wilson does the laptop get very hot using Logic Pro x or does the extra fan help ??
Akshay Iyer yea i wanna answer for that too!
Does anybody else prefer how the keyboard of the 13" pushes up closer to the sides whereas the 16 inch looks a bit lost. I would rather go for the 16" overall but I think the 13" looks better
Informative content as always... would you recommend I buy the high end 13" with the 10th gen i5 processor 16gb ram and 512gb ssd...I do my editing on davinci resolve... thanks.
Been so confused in Apple store today btw the two models and I ended up upgrading from MacBook pro 13 inch 2015 to the MacBook pro 16inch, and i am so happy with the new massive screen :-)
This is exactly what I am considering……….watched so many of his videos as I just am trying to determine if I want to go the larger vs the portability of the smaller. The M1 vs Intel, all the considerations makes my head spin!
How does the RAM speed differ? On the top end 13, it uses 3733MHz LPDDR4X memory while the 16 inch uses 2666MHz DDR4 memory. The 13 using low power ram, but it's almost 1,000mhz faster?
What's your monitor? I'm looking for a budget monitor for my macbook pro
Make a video on 2020 16" Macbbok with 5600M graphics card...
great video bro
Thanks!
I can’t find any videos about monitors for the 13 inch.
Have you made any videos about monitors ?
Could you run ( 2) 4K monitors that are 40 inches each with the entry level 13’’ inch model or would that be too much for it?
I can’t still afford it. Great review.
At 11:16
Isn't it allowed on an AIRPLANE because of that large battery size ?
I'm looking forward to buy this 16" Macbook Pro (Base model). Awaiting your response.
Everyday Dad, I saw that you're using the XT4 as your main camera (as shown in the description)!!! Do you have a full review for it coming out? Any heat management issues?
No I won't be doing a full review. I do very much enjoy the image quality coming out of the camera, might be my favorite of all time. And I haven't had any heat management issues. My biggest frustrations are the record limit and the micro HDMI.
Im in the market now for an update to my 13" mbp 2015. My biggest concern is that on my current laptop Photoshop / Illustrator and other graphics heavy apps struggle when I work on semi complex files, and even if I just hook up my external monitor, UI animations already begin to suffer.
Is the 2020 13" iris good enough to solve that or is it going to have to be the 16" for me?
What is the name of dock that you are using? I would like to buy that for the new 13 I just bought.
I have the base model 16 inch and it's soooooo good I do graphic design and video editing it's a great machine I'm glad I purchased it
I’d be interested to hear what you think of the Mac mini.
I've watch tons of the 2020 mini videos because I'm looking to upgrade, and most people like it very much, but recommend to get the Core i5 version (8RAM and 512SSD, $1099), and ONLY if you do lots of video editing, then i7. Not for gaming tho, or almost any Mac for that matter. If it helps I've been using a Mini since 2012 and it's been working fine for the last 7 years, tho you can feel it struggling if you do a lot of PS editing, for example. If you got monitor and mouse and keyboard, go for it. If not, I'd consider the 21.5" iMac
Maybe you appreciate my POV as well... I use an iMac 5K daily and love that beautiful display. I also have a windows tower for gaming. I wanted another Mac for some experiments. I bought the mini with i7, 512GB, 8GB (upgraded to 32, eaaasy job) and 10gb lan. Why the last? Well I’m experimenting with 10G, I bought a 10G switch and my next NAS will have 10Gig as well. So I bought USB and HDMI Switches and now I have the mini on the same setup as my windows tower. Whatever I feel like I can power up any computer and use the keyboard, mouse and monitor on the desk. That’s great. And now my GF moved in and she doesn’t have a computer so I gave her the mini with an 1080p Monitor i had lying around and my old Magic Keyboard and Magic Mouse. She uses the setup daily. Now brace yourself, I don’t have a laptop, when I have to go somewhere (University where I have a wall power outlet or a friends home) I grab the Mac mini and my Bluetooth Magic Mouse and keyboard and use it with just my iPad Pro 12.9” as monitor via sidecar. I love that machine, it’s so universal and versatile!
I have the 2019 base 13 inch. Rarely use it mainly because of my fear of the keyboard failing or overheating because unless you’re in the homescreen listening to music it gets hot. I had it for 9 months and it only has like 21 power cycles.
Should I get refurbished macbook pro 16? Is it worth it and safe to buy it from apple of course?
what do you thin about the 16 inch now? do u think is a good deal in 2020? i dont know if buy base 16 inch or wait for apple sillicon
can u send a link for the monitor you use?
Just ordered the 2020 16” MacBook Pro, excited to use the power and screen for music production. Didn’t upgrade the graphics card despite that being the main difference between the 2019 and 2020. It should still be fine for any video editing I choose to do, however. It’s expensive as hell, but in my opinion it’s worth it in the end, at least for my use-cases.
I have the 12.9 inch iPad but I need the keyboard for university what would you recommend?
As someone who strictly wants to purchase one of these two devices for just photo editing ie. photoshop/lightroom. Would you consider the baseline 13 inch MacBook Pro as being more than capable. Or would you recommend upgrading anything in particular, whether it be the RAM or to the 10th gen CPU?
Ram16+ that is it for editing. Other options are expensive
Hey, have you experienced lagging, stuttering in MacBook Pro 16 screen graphics? Both in native screen or 4K LG USB-c Screen I am experiencing not really fluid navigation. I come from an iMac 27 5K, and I have a maxed out MBP16 32RAM i9, 550 8GB Gpu. And it just makes me so nervous. Also laggin Photoshop when working on 10.000 pixel canvas
It’s kinda annoying that as soon as you did your review there is a new GPU option for the 16” MacBook Pro (the 5600m got announced)
I chose to go with the 13" 10 gen chip one. Figured that I would have it for the next 5 years so spending the extra $500 for the top version available works out to be only an additional $100 a year. Total no brainer.
OSUBuckeyes1 I just ordered one too and upgraded to 32 gig, 1 TB - my last Pro I’ve had for 5 years and still solid. Made the investment like you.
Can you please make a video on the problem with new dell xps 15...please
I just recieved my 13 refurbish MacBook Pro and i love it
Nice
Just got the 13” one with 4 Thunderbolt 3 ports. It’s powerful for what I do with it. Just didn’t have the budget for a 16” one anyways. It works even on premiere pro editing 4K60 videos. It’s just when hitting the render button, it’ll take a while to export the video file. On Final Cut Pro, it’ll export pretty much in real time in 4K60. Other than that, it’s the right machine for me. I’ll put an external graphics card on the MacBook Pro if I need it.
Hi! I thought that on macs you can't add an external graphics card because you can't take off the back? (pls forgive me I know nothing about computers)
@@xnnalei EXTERNAL. you just connect it using cables
How do you like it so far? Is the fan loud? Does it over heat a lot?
Going into engineering in the fall, likely to major in mechanical. So would the 13in 10th gen i5 no other upgrades work well with an external, or no external and get the base 16? Asking mainly bc of the 3D programs I’ll be running later on. Would the 13 be strong enough? Thanks
I def want the $1,799 MacBook Pro 13, which comes with 2.0 GHZ intel core i5 10th gen. Is it worth it to upgrade to 2.3 GHZ intel core i7 turbo boost up to 4.1Ghz? (which is another additional $180)
What do you think of XPS 15 compared to MacBook 13? The XPS seems more compact and runs small for a 15 inch but offers more performance than the MacBook 13. Seems like it might be a good compromise between performance and size.
There are only a handful of reviewers who try to debunk that a low-tier or 13' Macbook can not handle heavy tasks. I have seen the Macbook 12 do 4k and it is impressive. But what most reviewers get wrong is that they do not expound that 1080p quality is still good and superior.
4k is a gimik and not a necessity in video editing. My multimedia friends and I myself still use the air ( some still rock the 4gb ram by the way) and it still performs well.
I would love to see reviewers do stress test other than video editing such as music , animation , etc. This is the best way to categorize rather than just saying either this is only good for student or light tasks.
i'm thinking about getting the 16in, not because I need the power now, but what about in 5 years? i imagine that it will make it more future proof?
Hey dad 13 inch with 8 go of ram or 16 is better is the difference that much?
Hey The Everydaydad...can you maybe do a gaming test with Dell XPS 13/15/17(when you get it) hooked up with a external GPU...can it work as a full gaming setup😅
I have been using 15” MBPs for the last 10 years but don’t need this kind of power anymore. Considering a 13” now. Not sure how the downgrade in size going to be. What do you think?
For myself, being a music producer, and only as a hobby, I want this laptop because I know it has the power to do likely 5x what i need it to do. I would only be running 2 to 3 apple programs at once, for example, logic, safari (or chrome) and maybe maps (for hiking related purposes) and messages or something else very minor. However, hearing about how good the speakers are, i would imagine having that capability would be very convenient if i can add drums or whatever instrument, and know that what I'm hearing is good enough to actually choose to put it in the project without grabbing headphones or externals to mix it. Obviously mixing comes into play when i would have the time to do so, but the speakers, and 4 usb ports alone, make it worth it (with the 16" display). Also, for those complaining about the camera, yes a 1080p camera is really all we would ever expect and it sucks they havent stepped it up even THAT much. But...just buy a 20$ 1080p, or slightly more expensive 4k webcam and utilize one of the USB ports, if you are someone like me who would almost never need to use all 4 at a time. With all that being said, I plan on buying the 16" base model, because at the most extensive use, I would be mixing a 8-16 ish track logic kor garageband) project, while running other apple apps, and again maybe a couple others. But besides logic, even the i3 chips could handle that well enough, nevermind the 16" processor. I do enjoy photography also, though dont see myself ever doing 4k video editing per se. Though it is nice knowing I absolutely could, all day long without the computer having any issues, or any serious ones anyways. Having the 16" display, in my opinion, is worth it alone when you do want to see your pictures (let's say, the highest quality pictures from a flagship smartphone, galaxy s10/20...iPhone 11/pro... etc etc...blown up and easily viewable. I do feel it would make light photo editing that much more enjoyable. Even if the 13" display proves itself very worthy as well.
I have already seen the 16" for a sale price of 2,099$ at bestbuy. That....from what i have heavily researched and come to understand...is a SMOKIN deal. If you have the money for the 16", I'd say go for it because besides being bigger, and "less" portable, it is worth every penny. The only people who need more, are the ones stepling it up to the i9 and all that which SO many average users would never need. Even if they make a 14", the 16" is a admittedly large, but beautiful display, and the touch bar has increasingly become enjoyed by most reviewers i have watched. Touch i.d...4 usb ports, a killer processor and solid graphics card for basic editing, the magic keyboard, and track pad, all add up to being a bulletproof design and machine. And after all this ranting, im going to go back to seeing when I can finally order one! Looking forward to running logic on it!
my late 2011 15” MBP just died, i think. we’ll see. but 9 years of daily professional use was a good run.
Just got my 16 inch Base for just a 200 EUR premium over the MBP 13 2020 Model (i10/16 GB/512 GB) and no I don‘t need all the power.
What I care is value (for my money) and also design (bezels) and the 16 inch is the clear winner overall.
Love it so far!👌🏼
What about games? Which one should I get?
