Macbook pro mid 2017 i5 specs1/12/2023 ![]() Note: many people seem to acclimate or adjust after extended use with the LG screen, while others even prefer it. You may not be bothered at all, but for those of us who are, the difference is staggering. There are lots of threads here at MR about this - and elsewhere around the net. ![]() I've even tried the supposed color profile display fixes, and used the MBA with the LG screen for weeks, and the problems persisted. The one with a Samsung display NEVER produces those issues, even after most of the day use. The LG display gives me eye strain, even a vertigo-like sensation after extended use. I have two MBAs of that vintage or near it - one has an LG display and the other Samsung. That's me though.Ī big question is who manufactured the display! The ones by Samsung get lots more accolades than those by other makers. I'll tell you from personal experience, I prefer 1-2 larger displays and a full keyboard if I'm going to be using IDEs (such as XCode). I typically factor in the cost of a possible battery replacement on an older used machine when determining if it's worth buying. Lastly you don't mention how much of a difference. Are you also going to play games on this? I don't think you would enjoy that going forward. No one wants to buy an ultra light laptop which constantly requires an external drive. You also need to consider what your storage requirements will be like, and you shouldn't lie to yourself on that one. ![]() I would check how much memory unity and unreal can typically use. In this case I haven't tested how 8GB is holding up these days. I typically prioritize ram = storage > cpu > gpu. It's definitely weaker, but I would consider it for writing and compiling code. The 2017 is using a broadwell era cpu, since the ultra low voltage cpus skipped some generations.
