Ang hirap i-justify ng 30,000 price gap between 8th gen vs 10th gen MBP 2020 [emoji17] but hardware wise the 10th gen has better cooling system (2 fans), better speaker, and extra Thunderbolt 3 ports on the right side.

An officemate ordered the 10th gen (or 4 Thunderbolt model as they call it) on Amazon, baka daw 2nd week of November ang dating, pero gagamitin niya for video editing naman. [emoji16]

Last October 24th yata Asus launched their 11th gen Vivobook and Zenbook with Thunderbolt 4 na, significantly cheaper and technically more advanced pero naisip ko pass muna sa Windows, I still have my old laptop and destop naman for Windows stuff.

10th gen i5 also has 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD. Since soldered, best to get the highest available specs off the bat since you can't upgrade.

Macs hold value very well anyway so if after 5 years bebenta mo siya, yung 15k difference ng 8th gen i5/8GB and 10th gen i5/16GB mababawi rin. And of course the 10th gen i5 will last much longer too.

My sister still has the MBP I gave her when she graduated high school, pero super bagal na. It's not just the RAM and HDD, even processor (early i5 dual core) just isn't fast enough for today. And super bulky pa niya with a CD drive. So even if it's a 13.3, it's bigger than most 14" ultrabooks today.
