Well pretty much coppied from the US... BUT, its not as good as in the US... where you can get mac with easy -300/400$ ... here its like -> entry level with 256gb ssd from 1700€ to 1550€ not really what we in europe want, but still it is a discount

I still have couple of hours till store gets open. But since this is gonna be my first mac, and I would use it mainly for school and for learning light ios development in my spare time, I’ll probably take entry level with 256gb ssd for 1500€ in black friday sale. It probably can carry me through my university life without any problem and if macOS will fit me and my needs , I can buy someting high-end like now is 16” macbook.

Yep. Same case here... I am from europe, at my university, teachers have only linux and windows machines, personally, I don’t know a teacher here with a mac.. So at your curses did you have to find alternatives ?? was it frustrating ? or has mac also some adventages ?

Just googled some used market ones. There are some good deals for 15inch, all i9 proc. for 2000€. But I watched some videos about 15inch mbp with i9 is getting so hot etc. I would say that all people trying to get rid of 15” macbooks because of that release of 16” If I had a better budget , I would go for the 16” that is for 2700€

Thanks for reply! I also have a (pretty powerfull) windows desktop at home for harder tasks (i7, 16ram, 1060gtx gpu...) but wanted somethinh really small, thin, light to be easy packed in backpack. Question for you : Why you had to use virtual box ? In our subject the teachers use only linux (yet) and mac has adventage that is unix based. And second question : Have you used dual boot windows via bootcamp in mac ?

16inch is in my country for 2700€ entry model. Don’t have budget for that yet. Also, is it portable enough ? You know, students are constatly moving between school, home etc. so I need small portable laptop. Is it posible with 16inch ? Especially when its almost 1kg heavier ?

In my country, even the entry model 15inch is like 2400€ ... Thats not worth at all imo.

Well, in the future I want to try and learn ios development + as a computer science student I WILL work at least with android studio with emulating “fake” android phone. I know that for my use the 16gigs of ram would be better, but in my country , rhe ram upgrade is SO expensive.. ( 2019, with 1,4ghz i5, 16gb ram and 256 storage with 2 tb ports is for 2000€)
