- So I've been looking for an upgrade from my windows laptop(which is terrible by the way) and I've narrowed down my options to the criteria I've made for what kind of laptop I would like. It come down to either the 2015 15 inch MacBook Pro and the 2016 13 inch MacBook Pro. I've been doing my research on these two and I can't decide. The 2016 13 inch MacBook Pro is a little bit faster and from what I have seen, it can handle some light gaming and (what I'm most interested) it can handle 4K video editing without a problem. With the 2015 15 inch MacBook Pro, I've heard it can handle the same things as well but it also has a quad core processor and an Intel core i7. However, the 2016 13 inch MacBook Pro has dual core with an intel core i5 processor, faster write speeds above 2 gigabytes a second, and a 6th generation chip rather than the 5th generation chip. I personally don't mind using the dongles, I just want to know which one out of these two will benefit me more and give me more12-10-2016 01:21 PMLike 0
- I like the quad core i7 and 15" screen, but it's big (I have both a 13" and 15"). What size is your current Windows laptop, and is it sufficient?12-10-2016 02:34 PMLike 0
- I'm pretty sure it's a 15 inch. I got it from Walmart a couple years ago. This laptop is not sufficient for my needs. It can barely handle typing up an essay, it can barely game a little, and the big hitter is that it can't even handle playing video from my camera at 1080p.12-10-2016 11:08 PMLike 0

If it's a 15" I'd keep with that unless you think it's too big (i.e. not portable) to carry around. Take a look at a 13" and see if it'll fit your needs.

Right now they're on sale for $100 less and it already costs less than the 2015 15 inch.12-11-2016 07:09 PMLike 0

If you're ok with the 13" size, it's the latest one, so go ahead. Unless you really need the quad-core (or 15" screen!) you'll be fine. Like @firedept10 said, get enough SSD -- don't skimp.
