Amazing news for someone who's about to pull the trigger on the non-touch bar 2016 MBP.
I considered many other options but couldn't find a company with similar build quality and reputation for high quality in the mobile workstation space.
My only concern was the battery, it seems to perform at a high level.
- tqkxzugoaupvwqr 10y agoDo not mistake power efficiency for long battery life. Power efficiency doesn’t mean all tasks use little power and you will always have a long battery life. Apple’s power efficiency shines in idle mode. When you put light but constant strain on the machine, e.g. with IDEs and compile-on-save, battery life goes down quickly, no matter how efficient. Choose wisely. A MacBook Pro (Mid 2014) still has roughly the same performance as a 2016 model but is much, much cheaper. I recommend you pick a used 2014 or 2015 model in good condition. Saves you a lot of money (> $1000).
