I'm considering buying the Mac Book Pro 2020! (in the cheapest configuration) does anyone have any experience with this notebook? And where and when can I buy it cheapest?

Ga

Yes and on https://www.apple.com/....apple.com" class="text-primary">https://www.apple.com/....apple.com / ac / structured-data / images / open_graph_logo.png? 201809210816 https://www.apple.com

What were your experiences And is it really the cheapest at Apple?

Br

Far too expensive for performance! Apple just writes Pro behind it and wants more money. What shoud that? Which pro would buy something like that?

Br

It's the most expensive at Apple. If you absolutely have to at Mactrade.

di

Your tip?

Br

What do you want to do with it?

di

I asked for the cheapest one?

di

Mainly school supplies and video and audio editing

Ga

I say, you can't buy the computer anywhere cheaper than from Apple, because eg the sellers on Ebay, where did they get the computers from when they only came out this year? Or at Amazon, how are they supposed to make money if they sell at the same price as they buy from Apple? Therefore, serious you can only buy a new Apple device from Apple or an Apple certified store.

Ga

So as long as you don't use the pro apps like Xcode, Final Cut Pro or Logic Pro, a MacBook or a MacBook Air is completely sufficient

Ta

They get volume discounts and they certainly don't buy them from apple.com

Where to buy

YOUR tip which device?

Ta

I'm just looking at Mediamarkt for a laptop up to 1300 euro

Ta

And the Mac Book in the worst configuration doesn't even have its own graphics card… It's really sad for the price.

Ga

No, Apple only sells to authorized retailers such as Media Markt, Telekom or Gravis, on Amazon, eBay, etc. You will not find anything from Apple

you can find a dealer here: https://locate.apple.com/de/de/

Ta

Then have a look at Louis Rossmann where he got his spare parts. Partly directly from the production chain, there are always ways.

Ga

Depends on what you need it for

Ga

I don't know who that is

Ta

Very bad, delivers very good content.

Ga

OK

this one is far better than the Mac Book pro for 1300 gels

Sk

Not necessarily the basic model or the 13 incher, but especially in creative professions such as graphic and vector design, sound production and numerous areas in software development, Macs are more common than Windows machines, simply because the workflow and the available software are far better. For normal Otto users, the pro machines are actually quite unnecessary and a simple Windows laptop or at least - if it has to be macOS - an MB Air does it too, but shearing everything together is nonsense.

Edit: Ah, look at your profile, you just have a basic and groundless problem with Apple. I'm gone.

Ga

No, that's the biggest junk

Ta

Ah yes and why? All specs are better than those of the Mac Book

Ga

If you think

Sk

If you only want to use the part for school / university or even just for surfing, it also does a much cheaper MacBook Air.

The basic equipment of the Pros is usually not enough for professional applications and for "normal consumers" it does just as good an Air instead of the basic equipment of the Pro.

If you are a student, you can definitely get it the cheapest on Unidays at Apple. Otherwise, the prices do not differ much, as Apple does not leave a large margin open for retailers. If cheap, then only used.

di

I agree

Sk

Logically, retailers do not get the same price as you as an end user when buying in bulk. So the comparison is limping. (Even if the price difference at Apple is very small in comparison)

di

So do you think the air is enough for a little video editing?

Ga

Yes, of course, but only the retailers that are authorized by Apple are not the sellers on Amazon, eBay and co

Sk

Even normal retailers can buy in bulk from Apple. At Apple itself, the amount is just relatively large, which has to be taken off to get a discount. This has nothing to do with the Authorized Reseller title.

And smaller dealers in turn buy from the large middlemen with a smaller volume discount.

Ga

Volume discount for many goods, ok. But that can't then be resold commercially

As

There are enough Apple or Mac haters, don't pay too much attention to their opinion. They think it is so easy to compare the technical data of Windows with Mac computers, which is simply not the case.

I have been using Mac computers and MacBooks pro for many years. In contrast to the MacBooks Air, they are technically better equipped, but their battery does not last as long as that of MacBook-Air.

With the current MacBook pro there are always problems with the keyboard. I might be a little careful about that. Take a look at the opinion of the users on the page of "macuser.de". You will always find many friendly Mac users who are happy to provide information.

I mean, even a MacBook pro in its basic configuration can be used well, even in professional use. It should have 8 better 16 GB of TAM memory. You can't easily expand the RAM memory. An external expansion would be easily possible with the hard disk.

Get the highest prices from the Apple Store if you absolutely want to have a brand new MacBook. But take a look at the "Refurbished" or "Returns". These are returns from Apple stores. They are checked for errors and repaired if necessary, but then sold again with the full Apple warranty. Even the older Mac computers are still very good to use. It doesn't have to be the very latest model. Such a Mac computer can be used for at least ten years! Also check out Gravis' pages. There are always special offers there. Media Markt also has good offers from time to time. Otherwise, Apple takes great care that the price difference does not become large when it comes to new goods. The price should always be high.

I haven't bought new Mac computers for a long time. Their price is just too high for me. Good used Macs are easy to compare with the new Mac in everyday work, but they are much cheaper in price. Look around there on Ebay.de.

Does it have to be Apple?

Br

Groundless problem with Apple?

di

Many thanks for your word!

With the new Mac Book pro, what should I pay attention to when it comes to the equipment?
