  • I actually own this. Same colour, a ‘referb’, everything.

    It’s somewhat underwhelming for the price. But I’ve no issues.

    ugh, should I save my money and get the base version with no touch bar, 8gb and 128gb?

    I just use Sketch on it, its not processor heavy and I am currently managing old macbook air (i'll post the spec).

  • I would say yes. Maybe.

    For me these SSD drives are great for fast access for application files (and virtual ram I guess) but nowhere near big enough for all my project files (.ill .indd and .psd and resource files) ... so I use external drives and cloud things anyway. This won’t be the case for everyone.

    Just re-checked my spec and I have everything the same but 3.1 GHz i5 and only 8 GB ram.

    Old school mantra for design is running Adobe software is pack your mac full of ram on purchase and all’s good. Not sure really if this still applies. I’ve not played in an i7.

    I usually try and buy something that’ll work for 8 years. Usually mid range but MacBooks are kinda new to me. I always got pretty good value out of iMacs.

    This looks reasonable.
