New MacBook Pro in the house! - C(-)ris - 12-01-2021
Took delivery of a 14" MacBook Pro 8-Core CPU, 14-Core GPU, 16GB ram model today. This thing is awesome! Coming from a 2018 MacBook Air i5. The screen is amazingly bright, rich, and sharp. The speed is amazing, everything is snappy, instant access to files and folders. I am super impressed by everything except the price and the weight. Wish it was more like $1500 than $2000 and a little bit lighter.

Sorry about the price -- I had 3 friends/clients/peeps sitting on the fence but they got in the $1700 deal from 2 weeks ago.
A few more bicep curls and the weight will feel like nothing. =)

I'm not particularly concerned about what I paid for this one. However, I'd like to buy about 400 more of them to replace the rest of our MacBook Air fleet, but $2000 per laptop or even $1700 is prohibitive. Probably going to have to wait at least another year or take the performance and value hit on the M1 Air.

I have a 14" MBP on order to do this similar comparison. But I'm leaning towards getting 16/1TB MBAs due to the true all-day battery life.

Are you seeing a value in the 16GB models vs the 8GB? I've been looking at my users usage and very few seem to use more than 8GB of ram. CPU and GPU? Zoom and Airplay max those out consistently.
