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 more
