[QUOTE="Demers94, post: 1720960, member: 379386"] Hi Slydude, thank you for the information on Apple Care, I didn't know that you could get it later (well, until the end of the 1-year period). I think I'll pass on it for now, and will see in the upcoming months how it's doing. 250$ is a lot of money, but for 2 more years of protection on a 1500$+ laptop, it might be worth it. I just checked the current storage space on the work iMac using Disk Utility, I'm only using around 50GB. This includes all my code, images, programs that I need and default apps. It looks like 128GB will be just fine. :) Thank you all for your help, I will go to the Apple store sometime this week to try the different laptops and see how they feel. I'm pretty sure I will go for a refurbished 2015 Macbook Pro, with the same specs as listed above. [/QUOTE]
