    depends , i had 2 macbooks that only lasted 3-5 years... if you dont mind that shelf life or expensive repairs then buy it... Macbook has some good features but it all depends really on what youre using the computer for in the end if youre just using it for work purposes and streaming movies stuff like that a macbook will do

    No, the price will probably be about the same, and their existing Pro line is full of outdated components. Don't pay the premium Apple tax for old specs.

    I agree with Forum. If that is all she's doing then definitely no need to pay the money for a Macbook. Save yourself almost $1000 and grab another piece.

    What's funny is the iPhone 7 and the Macbook Pro don't work together out of the box, you need an adapter.
