Hi all,
I'm trying to weigh my options for a 15" MBP with 16 GB of RAM and the smallest SSD possible (to try to save some money). The reason is I'll be running multiple but small virtual machines. Given that MBP after 2012 do not have user-upgradeable RAM (AFAIU), I believe my option currently are:
1. A refurbished June 2012 w/ 8 GB of RAM and a 256 GB SSD ($1600) with a 3rd-party 16GB RAM upgrade upgrade ($200) for a total of $1800.
2. A refurbished October 2013 w/ 16 GB RAM and a 512 GB SSD for $2119.
3. A new model with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB SSD ($1999) with a factory upgrade to 16 GB of RAM ($200) for a total of $2199.
Is that assessment of my options correct? Have I overlooked any other avenue? Thanks.
