I’m 6’4″ and 240 pounds, so lugging the 17″ laptop around doesn’t bother me in the slightest.

At home I have a Mac mini connected to my 65″ TV HDTV - not 4K, because again, pixel density means nothing to me, screen real estate does. But I have and still want a 17″ screen because Retina means nothing to me - screen real estate does. I still have the internal Superdrive, which I still use daily, because yes, people still use optical discs. My laptop is a late 2011 17″ MBP with 16 Gb RAM and I have recently swapped in a 1 Tb SSD. My office Mac is a 27′ iMac, late 2012, with 32 Gb RAM, 3 Tb fusion drive and an external 27′ Thunderbolt display.
With macOS’s Continuity features, pretty much everything is in sync between both machines, so they act as one.Īs is typical these days, I disagree with MDN’s take, and agree with the article.

That’s why we have 27-inch iMacs (dual displays) on our desks and 11-inch MacBook Airs (still waiting to see what Apple releases in portable Macs this year before upgrading – likely to 12-inch MacBooks). As always, max out the RAM in both if your budget allows. Our way of looking at it today: You buy a portable Mac for – ahem – portability and you spec your desktop Mac for as much performance as possible. Back-breaking “portability” and underpowered desktops. MacDailyNews Take: A long time ago, we used to have 17-inch MacBook Pros that we lugged around and also docked into larger monitors, drive arrays, keyboards, mice, etc. “Whatever RAM I opt for when I buy it, that’s all the RAM it will ever have.” “One thing is now certain: I’m never again going to be able to buy a MacBook with the same degree of upgradability as my classic MacBook Pro,” Lovejoy writes. Given that Apple managed to create a 5K 27-inch iMac at a relatively affordable price, it’s clear that making a 17-inch Retina display wouldn’t be a problem – but Apple still hasn’t launched one.” “Two years on, that hope has pretty much dwindled away. “Two years ago, I still hadn’t entirely given up hope on Apple reintroducing a 17-incher,” Lovejoy writes.
“It’s almost five years old now, which is a relatively long time in Mac terms, and an absolute age for someone who usually does poorly when it comes to resisting shiny new tech.” “Regular readers will know that I still have a 17-inch MacBook Pro as my main computer,” Ben Lovejoy writes for 9to5Mac.
