I am planning to buy a new Macbook but struck in middle choosing whether i have to go with 8gb RAM & i-7 or 16gb RAM & i-5. I keep few apps (adobe, word, excel and multiple tabs in chrome browser) open or running most of the time. I feel frustrated with my 2015 macbook pro that has 16gb RAM & I-5 as few docs & tabs take forever to open. Please suggest me that is speed & reliable.

Thanks

Hi,

Thank you for your reply

I do have budget to upgrade either RAM or CPU, I am a student who uses Microsoft office apps, adobe & chrome browser to study, most of the times i just close my lid when not in use (I really dont quit apps) .

Which one is the best from below:


16GB 2133MHz LPDDR3 memory & 1.4GHz quad‑core 8th‑generation Intel Core i5 processor, Turbo Boost up to 3.9GHz

VS

8 GB 2133MHz LPDDR3 memory & 1.7GHz quad‑core 8th‑generation Intel Core i7 processor, Turbo Boost up to 4.5GHz.
