Hi All,
Thanks for the answers
To take the final decision, please help me with the below considerations:
PROCESSOR
BASE: 3.7GHz 6-core 9th-generation Intel Core i5 processor, Turbo Boost up to 4.6GHz
UPGRADE: 3.6GHz 8-core 9th-generation Intel Core i9 processor, Turbo Boost up to 5.0GHz
It's a plus of €469, is it worth it?
Yes for me but I'd like to hear your opinion
MEMORY
BASE: 8GB 2666MHz DDR4 memory
UPGRADE: 32GB 2666MHz DDR4 memory
It's a plus of €705, we all agree it's not worth it
Any recommendation for any model I can buy on Amazon or similar and manually upgrade?
GRAPHICS
BASE: Radeon Pro 580X with 8GB of GDDR5 memory
UPGRADE: Radeon Pro Vega 48 with 8GB of HBM2 memory
It's a plus of €550, is it worth it?
My idea would be to keep the Radeon Pro 580X for now and then upgrade with an eGPU which would speed up some processes, as Uli Plank said. Which processes wont' be improved?
Also, bear in mind that I don't have any external case so I have seen the prices and it's around €700 to get both case and eGPU. Does the case give more flexibility and chance to upgrade other components?
Besides, I read that just in case would be better to use the Vega 64.
STORAGE
BASE: Fusion Drive 2TB
UPGRADE 1st option: 512GB SSD storage, it's a plus of €117
UPGRADE 2nd option: 1TB SSD storage, it's a plus of €352
Is the 1TB worth it?
My idea would be to keep the 512GB SSD for now and then upgrade with an external SSD. Would it work?
Any obstacle? If yes any SSD recommendation?
Thanks again for sharing your expertise
Have a nice day and stay safe
