It's April 2019 and I just bought mine, I thought about waiting but I was going from an early-2011 MacBook Pro so I knew it would be a massive improvement no matter what. Thanks!

    Great review. Short and to the point. Listed out the pros and cons. It was really hard to find someone doing a good review on the base model of the 13" Pro so thanks ! I'm probably going to buy this soon, but I'm worried about the 128 GB SSD, and if my apps (Premiere, PS, Figma, Football Manager & Videoscribe mainly) will take up a chunk of the space and leave me with very little space for my projects. Do you think I should go for the 256 GB SSD?

    Hi. How does this iteration handles Adobe Photoshop CC?

At my workplace I have a mid 2013 27'' iMac which is enough for the job, but is this enough for moderate usage at home? I'm not doing any video editing work nor I would do Photoshop heavy daily and I would really need the portability. Thank you :)

    Good review. The 2018 14" Asus 8th gen intel 8 GB ram base model, 256 SSD base model Flip is a far better choice. Faress expensive, Great stylish aluminum build, no fan noise issues, great touch screen, fingerprint sensor, micro SD card slot, can be used as a tablet, looks great and is much cheaper. No problem editing videos or photos. 16 GB of ram is best for editing. It's where Apple laptops should be.
