If your battery isn't a problem, and you're at least limping along on that machine, if you think you can make it a year, I'd suggest holding off at least for now. I replaced it cause I had very bad battery swelling, replaced it with a MBXP, and honestly I regretted that decision a bit more than I liked it - it worked fine, I still have the MBXP, it's just not as clean of an experience.
That aside, I had a mbp 13" 2015 a few years ago. I'd rather wait to see how that plays out. But building your own arch is difficult, and I'm not sure on Rosetta/translation yet. Some users worry about the first generation of a new product, I'm happy to get it and work through the problems. That makes me think they'll have a second mbp 14" sometime next year, probably at the same time/just after the 16" mbp. The 16" mbp has smaller bezels, plus they didn't touch the 16" mbp and I'd guess that's because they're waiting for a more powerful chip.
It's nice to be able to go places and not have to find a plug when I work for a day or two. I'd rather have a thicker booty on the mbp and have closer to a 100mwh battery. I'd like the computer to support an eGPU if I ever need one (the M1 chip does not).īattery life matters to me. I don't want onboard dGPU, I've got one now and it eats more battery than I'd like tbh. Swappable ram would be nice, 32GB feels important.Ī user replacable drive would be nice, but I can cope. I'm not comfortable with only up to 16GB of ram, I have some memory pressure on 16GB now. I wouldn't buy the MBP 13" for work (or the Air or Mac Mini either). I've used many flavors of Linux, and understand it plenty, and the golang/docker/KVM support is better on Linux, but I'm less productive on Linux in a desktop environment. I like macOS cause it's pretty good out of the box, I have to do less to get to a comfortable display manager that keeps me productive. I'm on a macbook right now, and I use it for work (golang, but also lots of other stuff).
