Is Apple MacBook Pro worth buying?

Firstly as you anyway need a laptop, the Mac would be the superior option as you may need to move constantly, as sitting in one place is very boring and you generally have to move about from one place to another.

Getting a Mac would mean bye-bye to the heating up issues you often have to face with Windows laptops.

You get unparalleled support and also huge specs and the light OS which keeps everything running smoothly.

Also you can run Windows on Mac, but you cannot run mac on windows (stably).

The Apple Macbook Pro MD101HN/A 13-inch Laptop is on a sale currently which would save you 28K if you get hold of it till stocks last.

The current price is just Rs. 56,790 which is pretty good looking at the build quality and usage of the MacBook.

This one would give you 4 GB of RAM which is quite high as MacOS is pretty low resource sucking and would work as 8 GB on a traditional windows PC, believe me I have tried both. There is also a 500 GB Hard Drive which would mean you’re covered until you plan on downloading the whole of your friends’ TV series collections onto your device.

If you want more of the performance and plan to change laptops after many years, I would suggest go for Apple MacBook Pro MF839HN/A 13-inch Laptop as this would bean you get an SSD instead of the HDD (more data transfer speeds) but you are limited to 128 Gigs here (no one’s stopping you to get a hard drive anyway, I personally recommend the Seagate Backup Plus Slim 1TB or 2TB Portable External Hard Drive) with this you also get a better Graphics Card, Intel Iris 6100which is Intel’s superior version to the Intel HD and would let you hook up some 4K displays too.

Also I almost forgot to mention the Retina displays(Note: Watching the GOT is even more fun when you have a retina display), this would mean there is lesser strain on your eyes when you’re working 24/7 to complete that code which you just cannot get to work or watching one last episode of Breaking Bad at 3 am.

There is also 8GB of RAM which is double of specs from the last one. There is also an Intel Core i5 processor on board which would let you take down common programming stuff.

And if you are still not okay with it and want even more OOMPH from you machine and want it to work even after 6–7 years and not be obsolete, I would recommend go with the Apple MacBook Pro MJLT2HN/A 15-inch Laptop, this is the ultimate machine everyone is after and with 16GB of RAM, you can do absolutely anything.

You also get an upgraded Intel Core i7 the biggest ‘i’ number Intel has to offer and it has the capability to take on even the most massive stuff like CAD and AutodeskMATLAB or 4K videos in Photoshop. You also get a 512 GB SSD bundled so you have no issues with space while editing massive 4k RAW footage.

Lets also keep in mind the AMD Radeon R9M370X Graphics card that you have on board to help you achieve the above feats easily. The more realestate available on the bigger 15 inch screen means that you have the ability to use more of that space and work, though the downside would be a bigger laptop you have to lug around with you.

Final Verdict: For those who are looking into to just do away with basic coding and programming they must go ahead with the Apple Macbook Pro MD101HN/A 13-inch Laptop (Rs. 56,790).

While those looking to be future proof with their investment and would like to be using the same machine for atleast 3–4 years I suggest go with the Apple MacBook Pro MF839HN/A 13-inch Laptop (RS. 89,900).

And the most extreme category of you out there who just have to do everything on their laptops and have to do it simultaneously, I suggest you go with the Apple MacBook Pro MJLT2HN/A 15-inch Laptop (Rs. 163,988). (you guys are sure to go ahead with life ;D )

Just so you know, I’m typing this on a 7 year old mac and it hasn’t ever given me any problems.

The earlier days when I wanted to buy a laptop, I was really confused about which laptop brand shall I select??...As I was attracted towards Apple laptops i.e. MacBook, so I decided to buy MacBook. But I wanted to be sure if buying a MacBook is best decision over other laptops or not.

Following are the major reasons for selecting MacBook:

1. Performance: In most of the cases, MacBook perform better or we can safely say that MacBook outperform other laptop brands. A MacBook can easily perform under heavy workloads that are software loads like in the software - AutoCAD, Revit, 3Ds Max etc.

If we take a MacBook with 'xyz configuration' and any other brand laptop with same 'xyz configuration', then on applying same workload on both machines...the MacBook will perform much better. The performance here basically means the satisfactory speed and no or lesser hanging depending the amount of load.

2. Processor: All 13" MacBook are preferred with i5 processors and 15" MacBook are preferred with i7 processors. But the best part about MacBook is that even i5 processor on a MacBook performs better than any other laptop having an i7 processor!! So, mostly, we need not to worry about performance using an i5 processor MacBook if we were searching i7 processor laptops. Read more here: Best Apple laptop/ Macbook October 2016 [UPDATED]
