Wow, early 2011...and it's still kicking, amazing! Yes, it's a medical reason. I had a spinal cord injury in the past, and if I needed to carry my laptop (and other things) in a backpack, the 16in would have been too heavy. When I commute, it takes about an hour back and forth. The 14in is more portable and gives my spine and back a less severe pressure during the commute. I do have an external monitor I use, though :) Thank you for your comment and question, Ed 😀
that's true. I had a Mac from work from that era, and some of the keys on keyboard get chipped after a few months. I would have sent it back if it was a personal computer 😄 Good luck with the purchase. I'm sure you're going to be satisfied. Thanks for the comment :)
im curious. First off congrats on buying it. Its a sweet machine. Im curious as to a 8tb drive? I actually started using dropbox with the offline storge option and not only does it work great but with a much smaller ssd internally it keeps it nice and wide open.
I do a lot of videos...and the quality of videos is going higher and higher. I plan to use this Mac for another 10 years (if it lasts that long), and I thought this is a one-off payment...instead of paying for online storage every year (which I still do for smaller storage). It's a personal preference based on the thing I do, no other reason. I don't think most people need this at all :) Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@RunForPeace-hk1cu How did you know? I did carry a 2TB external drive 😄 It's been a few days, and I'm extremely satisfied. Everything is just super fast, and the Mac is noiseless whatever I run on it. Thanks for watching!
I also upgraded from the late 2013 to the base model 14 inch!
🌟 awesome, I hope you enjoy the upgrade!
Congratulations on your new computer.
Is there any reason why you didn’t choose the 16 inch?
Btw I’m on an early 2011 still in 2022. 😂

Very nice! Been enjoying my 16" here with similar specs. The speakers are amazing aren't they? 😀
Oh yes, they are amazing! 😀 You got lots of space on the 16 inch. It must be nice. Thanks for watching!
My 16 inch comes in march
awesome :) enjoy the amazing large space you'll have. thanks for watching!
Good one!
Thanks for that 😀

I thinks 8tb its so much unless you edite movie scenes or stuff like that
@@juanpablosanchezvillena59 Agreed. that's what I do :) 10 yrs ago 250GB storage seemed like overkill too...thanks for commenting.
i am getting mine in april 15, 2022 LOL
Awesome 🤩 it’s a long wait, isn’t? I’m sure you’re going to like it. Thank you for watching!
Wow. So beautiful. Enjoy 😊
Thanks 😊 it's been great so far. Thanks for commenting too!
How did it cost $7000? Even a top-end fully spec'ed out 14" should only cost you about $6000
This is the top end full spec with Apple care :) I live in New Zealand (NZD 7000), and here that is the price for it.
@@nikitisza 👌🏼. That’s an outstanding laptop and that 8tb ssd will fly. Lightning ⚡️ fast . You’ll never need to carry an external drive ever again 😆

I'm glad if you can gift me the old MacBook Pro as a birthday gift
@@Joshua-vv6pv @Joshua haha, it's already in good use :D
