I also have the 2019 MBP, although not base model because I'm not a monster. Didn't the base model that year still have like a 128g SSD or something comically small? (I'm only jokingly being judgemental here, although it does baffle me why someone wouldn't upgrade at least a tiny bit to a level of practically if you had the choice to buy the computer in the first place) I'm kind of satisfied but not pleased at all with it, and I only have it because my 2018 non-touchbar model had a hardware issue which they replaced it with, and the 2013 model before that was stolen. It's marginally uograded to a 256gb SSD and 16gb of ram. I'm not pleased, specifically because of how loud the damn thing is. I was able to score a deal on an old gaming PC that runs quieter (or at least less annoying) on more demanding tasks, meanwhile I can't browse Instagram or watch video without creating a ridiculous noise. The 2013 model did not have this problem, and yes I'll acknowledge that video is a demanding task and modern websites are garbage, but cmon.
- NotPractical 5y agoI did at least upgrade to 256 GB storage (...for like $200 or something ridiculous), haha. I just didn't think to mention that minor upgrade. Edit: I'll also mention that the fan noise hasn't been a problem for me (I rarely notice it), but that may be because I don't use too many demanding programs.
- brailsafe 5y agoAh I see. A friend of mine who definitely has the money and makes it as a developer bought the real base model with baseline storage, and it's a bit funny how little he can do with it. With 256 it gets me by most of the time, but I'm out of luck if I need VMs or games really. I can pick one. Didn't have the budget at the time to upgrade past that though, for the absurd prices you stated. Sometimes the fans will spin up in the middle of the night for some kernel process presumably.
