Replacing my 16" MBP (8 core i9 2.3ghz / 32GB RAM) with the new Air as well. All of that power (yes I know, it's not sustained) without a fan is incredible.

- WoodenChair 6y agoYeah I had almost the same configuration (2tb/32gb/2.4 ghz). I’m literally getting the new Air for half of what I’m selling it for.
- davideous 6y agoWhere are you selling it? I want to know where to buy a used 16” MBP.
- chrischen 6y agoI've sold on cragislist before... worked out fine.
- WoodenChair 6y agoeBay-you’re welcome to buy it if you want: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Apple-MacBook-Pro-16-2-4-Ghz-i9-32-GB-RAM-2-TB-SSD-Radeon-5500M-8-GB-Free-Ship/124434052826?hash=item1cf8d8f6da:g:2yMAAOSwMXdfqvAk https://www.ebay.com/itm/Apple-MacBook-Pro-16-2-4-Ghz-i9-32-...
- arvinsim 6y agoYou guys must have some generic or Apple specific workflows since you are confident that the software is already supported.
- saagarjha 6y agoAs long as you don't depend on x86_64 Docker containers or Boot Camp, you should be fine in general.
- srtjstjsj 6y agoWhy did you pay a fortune for 32GB RAM, a larger screen, and a dGPU if you don't need it? You could have bought a 13" MBP and saved enough cash to get the new Air and now have 2 laptops.
- xvector 6y ago1. How do you know he didn’t need it? 2. Even if he didn’t need it, why assume he didn’t want it? 3. Why are you assuming that money is an issue for him?
- bluedino 6y agoHe's assuming he didn't need 32GB if he's replacing it with a 16GB Air.
- eugeniub 6y agoAlso: Why assume he would want to have two separate laptops

- cwhiz 6y agoIf he needs it he wouldn’t move to a laptop that doesn’t offer it. You can’t get 32GB of memory or a dGPU on the new Macs.
- misterdabb 6y agoIt is a general theme, people say how they are switching their specced out 2019 16inch MBP to these new M1 Macbooks, then getting all upset when people point out, they are probably not the professionals the top-end MBPs were aimed at. A lot of people run around with way more powerful laptops than they actually need for whatever they are doing, because it's through a business or it's deductible, but news flash, buying a Macbook Pro doesn't make you a pro. A question, if ALL pros were fine with 16GBs of RAM, why does Apple offer 4x as much? Answer, because a lot of people will actually need it. I am happy for people who will get these new devices an be happy with it, I might get one too. But truth be told, most of us getting these devices could make it work with the latest iPad Pro + Magic Keyboard just as well. (OK, I do need to code occasionally, but even for that there is pretty ok apps for iPad I could use) The expectations have to come the fuck down from where they are today, because the expectations put on these devices are just crazy. It's so overhyped that I think many will be disappointed, when compatibility issues surface and when people realise that the 3x, 5x, 7x performance digits are mainly down to Fixed Function Hardware and Accelerators and general performance increase is just slightly above the generational leap we are used to, with a bigger increase in efficiency.
- pgt 6y agoNote that the M1 does not support eGPUs, in case you need it.
- fastball 6y agoI want to do the same, but I like being able to do some gaming on my Windows partition (I opted for the 8GB dGPU as well).
