I bought this Macbook pro as a computer for when I need to travel. I am a graphic designer and occasionally need to be on the go. The price tag was a bit more than I wanted to pay, but I knew if I got the cheapest one it would be a paperweight out of the box. So far it has been fine. My only minor complaint is the battery doesn't last very long if I am really doing work using multiple programs, etc. Maybe 2-3 hours tops. Not the end of the world, but I had hoped for better from a brand new laptop. I also got the smaller hard drive because most of my data will be on my desktop and the icloud, so this has been just right for me. I would recommend this laptop if you're in the creative field or need a decent laptop.
