I’ve been dreaming of a 32G 13” for years but now that it’s here I wish it were 64G. This for me sums up the problem with the 13” offering. Attractive form factor (for me), always 2-4 years behind on specs.
Apple apparently thinks that smaller form factor means the audience is “junior pro” or something. People who want smaller laptops are probably also running proportionally smaller workloads, thinks Apple. It makes zero sense to me.
- troyk 6y agoco-dreamer here, do you have a recommendation for a 64G 13"?
- akudha 6y agoSame, I'd like to get a 64G 13" too. system76 has galago, but it is 14"
- shrimpx 6y agoI don’t know a good option. Currently I own a 15” mbp 32G, best compromise I could find when upgrading from my 2015 13” (I strongly considered a dell xps 13” at the time but the build quality and trackpad were a no go for me). If I were to upgrade I’d reluctantly get a 16” 64G mbpro. I keep sacrificing on size in exchange for build quality and specs.
- hinkley 6y agoMy gateway MacBook was the old 13" with a discrete GPU. As far as I'm aware that was the first and the last model to have one. It was, you might imagine, quite loud when playing a video game, but it did ok. I was hoping the rumors of a 14" were going to pan out. Maybe next time.
