I have been thinking about picking up a base 14-inch MacBook Pro for several months. But then Costco had a sale on what I call the "base upgrade" model on Apple's website. That is to say, the version with the 10-core CPU and 16-core GPU (two steps up from the stock base model), 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD. And Costco's price was about $200 above Apple's price for the base model. Plus, it was in stock.
Never mind the arguments over 16GB vs. 32GB of RAM. I've seen enough evidence that 16 is enough for me. Besides, I don't use Adobe's RAM-hogging software - at least not at home. So I pulled the trigger. Delivery is due this week.
This may become my primary computer - at least for a while - depending on how it does compared to my 2019 27-inch i5 9600K iMac. Perhaps by Christmas a Mac Studio will become my desktop computer. But I want to see what Apple does in terms of high-end Mac Minis first.
