Ok, I *know* I will probably notice the difference somehow, but how will it be obvious in terms of music making? Will I notice it in Ableton Live (more plug-ins?)? Will I notice it if I run several applications at once? etc.
Refurbished 13.3-inch MacBook Pro 2.3GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 with Retina display - Space Gray. The AppleCare Plan provides up to three years of world-class support for Mac, and up to two years of world-class support for iPad, iPod, iPhone, Apple Watch, Apple TV and HomePod. Refurbished 13.3-inch MacBook Pro 2.3GHz dual-core Intel.
The reason I ask, is that I want to upgrade from my two year old MacBook Pro.
I am considering the 13' MBP with 2.9GHz (dual core), or the 15' 2.3GHz MBP (quad core). I really like the smaller form factor and weight of the 13', but, of course, I have seen the Geekbench benchmarks for the 15' (about 11.000, vs. the 8.000 of the 13' MBP).
