If anything, I’ve been still behaving like an Apple advocate when talking to her about what she might want to consider (she’s a Logic user and therefore needs a Mac to keep using Logic).Īpple is not looking good, from the perspective of average buyers. About the MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2016) The 13-inch 2016 MacBook Pros come in two sizes and three main flavors.

I’m not the one giving her these negative impressions she did the reading all herself. Apple MacBook Pro 13-Inch (2016) 4.0 Check Stock 808.85 at Amazon MSRP 1,499.00 Pros Almost 12 hours of battery life. This isn’t quite the “technology gets better and cheaper over time” comparison I would’ve hoped for.Ī friend of mine has been feeling very negative about what she sees she can get for her money in a new MacBook Pro, compared to her own 2010 model. Ten years later, while the type of storage and CPU are technically superior, I suspect that it looks, to casual buyers, like the new model is missing things. Yeah, the 2009 model was a dual core only, and came with only 4GB RAM (which I expanded for less than $100), but it had real function keys, a reliable keyboard with decent travel, far more than just two I/O ports, an analog AND digital audio output, a 2.5GHz base clock, and 250GB storage. I find myself comparing it to the $1500 13” MacBook Pro 5,5 I bought in 2009 and I feel like the storage and base CPU are kind of lame on this new model. This especiallyl after upgrading to a reasonably sized SSD.Īgreed.
