    There's a 15" model (i7, 16gb ram, 256gb of storage and Radeon 450 pro graphics) for like 393 after tax on back market. Definitely the best overall package for the price you'd pay for a 15" laptop. Bought one today, pretty excited for it to show up. Touch bar will be great for scrubbing through lectures

      YES!!! Ive been hearing about that one in he comments. Thank you for bringing this up. At the time, this was the best option, but these deals do go away quick. Enjoy!

      Get a keyboard cover for your MBP as those butterfly switches in the keyboard can go bad.

      @@Windows7Pro2009 Oh yeah, ive had a 2017 12" and a 2017 13" mbp, both had keyboard issues. Was awful
      The one I bought from backmarket had keyboard issues right off the bat, screen delamination and after 2 weeks, got the flexgate issue. Basically every common problem present on the 2016 model. I only get one response from support a day, which has made the process of finding a solution really slow.
      I don't recommend buying that laptop anymore

    I wish I watched this before I bought this 2nd hand. my screen had that bottom starlight kinda thing and no it's gone black.

      Yeah sites like eBay or Facebook Marketplace may be cheap, but its definitely putting up a big risk. Someone can iCloud Lock a device after the payment is done, or items may not be as described as what they are. I hope you find a solution to this problem.

    Hi , first of all thanks for the video it really helps . Second , I would like to asking you if you know the diference between the 2016 Macbook with the 2015 ?

    • @hardwarecheck5582
      @hardwarecheck5582  Před 2 lety

      Hi! There are a lot of differences between the 2016 and the 2015 as the body of the 2016 model changed significantly. If you are talking about the technical differences, of course a newer generation (2016) is going to have better power efficiency, and hardware acceleration than the 2015 model. In terms of Software, you will want to go with the 2016 model if you want a longer lifespan for your device. If you have any other questions feel free to contact me on discord :)
