I really want a fully loaded macbook pro but I think I'd have to increase the limit on my mastercard The Norwegian price for 15" with the fastest cpu, gpu and 1tb of storage is something insane like US $4500

don't put a terabyte of storage in your laptop i have 256gb and with all my stuff installed and a good load of working files and a linux partition it's still got 60gb free get a NAS or whatever to dump all your anime rips onto

Is it even upgradeable down the line though? I've got 250gb in my 2010 mbpro and it's starting to feel a bit cramped I'm looking forward to the 0/10 ifixit teardown repairability score

yeah but you work in a radio observatory or something, right? like, if you're trying to pipe the output of the VLA directly into your macbook, you are probably doing it wrong for many reasons beyond just storage space

I'm actually kind of surprised that the base 2016 MBP manages to be faster than the base 2015 one despite a 15 watt CPU. base 2015 MBP: https://browser.primatelabs.com/v4/...:2700%20bits:64 base 2016 MBP: https://browser.primatelabs.com/v4/...A2000+bits%3A64 median on older one: 3500 single core, 6700 multicore median on the new one: 3700 single core, 7200 multicore Obviously that doesn't really take into account any thermal throttling, which would hit the new ones way harder since their turbo speed is WAY above the base clock speed, but still.

Sagebrush posted:yeah but you work in a radio observatory or something, right? that doesnt excuse though buying 512 or 1024gb ssds lol, the price/reasons on that isn't there yet for anything portable, or most thing stationary either really. were i buy a desktop id maybe buy a 120gb ssd to keep a heavier game or two on it, but that's about it for me in ssd usability, after living for aeons with 5400rpm spinners. just go take a stretch or something while your modern os is loading for 20 seconds.

Linguica posted:They have fans. But they are base 2.0Ghz turboing to 3.1, whereas the older ones are base 2.7Ghz turboing to 3.1, so it seems like the newer ones would be harder hit if it happens. skylake, and iirc everything post nehalem, will throttle based on the actual temp, it can maintain many clock speeds between base and full turbo mode depending on the actual temperature. a lower base rate just means lower idle power use.
