Opinions Please....
Worth making an upgrade now or should I wait? I don't do much heavy work anymore but still use Photoshop and Illustrator quite a bit.
Yes I know... OLD... Currently on OSX EL Capitan 10.11.6 so that I could still run Adobe CS suite without the subscription.

2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 512 MBLooking to upgrade to:
Apple MacBook Pro 16" with Touch Bar - Intel Core i9 - 16GB Memory - 1TB SSD9th Gen 8-Core Intel® Core™ i9 Processor 2.3GHz

- I wouldn't get any new computer with less than 32gb of ram (personally 64gb is as low as I'll go these days)formed
- Don't wait. The current 16" is one of the best Macs Apple's made. Anything coming up won't be a massive improvement I don't thinkmonospaced
- But, go for the faster processor and more RAM now if you can.monospaced
- Thanks for the tips... Been so long with this slow laptop almost anything will be better.tap
- I still run on 8GB everything lolgrafician
- I had a 64GB machine, no difference for design stuffgrafician
- will get a Retina 15" 2015 and get 32GB RAM for like $600, fuck your $4-5k new mackbook prosgrafician
- but get more RAM not SSD, you can do with a 256GB SSD and external RAID if you wantgrafician
- also latest i9 @ 2Ghz is lesser than an old i7 @3GHzgrafician
- so tap, get a Retina 15" 2015 SH, up the RAM to 32GB and a 256-512SSD for like $600-700 and call it a day mategrafician
- Thx Grafician... I appreciate looking at it from the other side. This new purchase should last me at least 5-7 years minimum so I want to make it count.tap
- IF you have the cheese to spend on the latest 16" MBPro, then yeah go ahead, some of my designer friends have it and it works very wellgrafician
- To be clear, the 2GHz i9 will run laps around the old 3GHz i7. Totally different species of CPU.monospaced
- Hey Monospaced... I read up on it yesterday, pretty crazy how it works... Thankstap
