Should i turn back my new macbook pro i7 15" 2019 256 gb and buy i9 15" 2019 512 gb ?? ????

Pls say very urgent

What i want to do:

Only use the laptop for work and progreamming. Unity node spring angular xcode android studio for now mainly.

Is my 256 gb enough to handle all of that or have i fucked up and should have taken 512?

When I saw unity I thought to myself, bro you need 2 zerabytes 😂 that shit spaces up like crazy

Basically, yes you fucked up 🙃

Totally fucked up.
Why is it urgent though? Haven’t you already paid for it and opened it?

Unity?
256gb wont be enough 😂

We have this problem at work. One of the devs has to fight for every kb on his machine, constantly uninstalls software, and can only work with two projects at a time (there are five) because the others literally will not fit. Also, builds randomly fail sue to insufficient space.

To be fair, these are large projects.

@Puroguramingu cant code ios apps on non ios system boyo

If you love throttling yeah go for the i9, pay more and get less than i7

P. S
Or you could just upgrade the ssd...oh wait you can't

If the storage is the issue: there are other ways to upgrade. For example, you could get a huge external hard drive, or better (if your internet connection is good, at least 50 Mbit up and down), then go for some large cloud storage solution like iCloud, OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.

Note their privacy policies though, some might do analysis on your files, so maybe you want to wrap your cloud storage files / dirs / drives with encryption. Keybase is a nice service for encrypted cloud storage (including encrypted git repos with a git client).

Or some OwnCloud solution with a NAS.

I wouldn't get anything below 512GB nowadays. Then again I don't have a MacBook where I'd need to pay like 5 times the normal price for storage upgrades.

Well, you can always get some external drives with adapters.

@Puroguramingu what laptop would you recommend then?

So you got the money to buy a macbook and you want to use unity, code ios/osx apps, etc. if you don't mind about portability, just build a hackintosh.

@volttide say I'm not necessarily reliant on macOS. What would you recommend as a good development laptop? I've taken a look at the Lenovo P1 Gen 2 but am not 100% convinced by Lenovo.

@devNYC I'm currently saving money for Dell Xps, but for development only, not for gaming, so just in case you like to play games, just search laptops with rtx vga.

@devNYC dell, razer, lenovo... High end models

@devNYC here you can find really professional and deep reviews

If you can, return it and get the new 16" MacBook pro. It's better in every way.

Yeah, 256GB isn't enough.

How much is the i9? Because https://neowin.net/news/...
