Should I buy the 2018 MacBook Pro?

What’s the timeline on the announcement generally? I’d like one by Fall. Or I could upgrade and then resell it when the new ones are announced.

They just announced a nice spec bump this week including an improvement to the keyboard. Let us know if you upgrade!

When I got mine I also debated going with a dual core though opted for the quad as when I’m in LR I’m also using the machine to do many other things at the same time (i.e.: web-browsers, mail clients, RSS reader, backups and loads of other back ground tasks). I figured the extra cores would help balance that workload. Also, (and perhaps more importantly) the quad-cores have a higher turbo boost which probably suits something like LR a little better (depending on your editing style).

I often have stuff in the background and lately my laptop isn’t having it! I think the quad core for me is the way to go.

Yes I’m looking into it and considering it heavily
