Hi everyone, I'm looking into buying an almost new (open box) of a 2016 MacBook pro 15" with touch bar. (256gb config) I can get a really good price on it (still to be confirmed). 

What would be the maximum you would pay for this MacBook. General opinions. 

And how much do you think in "windows laptop value" is the MacBook pro 2016 worth. 

don't hesitate to give really low prices. I'm just curious to know what this forum think of the "true" worth of a 15" MacBook pro.

nope, if you want a 15 inch MacBook, try to find a 2015 15 inch with a DGPU.

that will depend on so many factors, its competitor would be XPS 15, so 1500- 2000$ would be a good price.

Not more than $1700 tbh. If that's the case, I'll go for the 13" MBP without touchbar and have it configured to have 16 GB of memory and 256 GB SSD. I think what makes the MacBook Pro expensive at the moment is that NVMe SSD and they get the spare parts are priced higher when it's Apple the one buying.

Maybe around $1600-$1700? Lower if condition is bad

I may be able to get lower but right now the offer on the 15" 2016 256gb is 2000$ CAD so 1588$ US. I would like to be able to get it for 1500$ CAD ( 1200$USD) but i might only be able to get 1700$ CAD (1350$ USD)

The price is not that great for the 2015 model. (only 400$ less than the 2016) 

 

The 2016 is almost brand new (never really used) is 2000$ cad (1588$ USD) but i can probably lower it to 1700$ cad(1350$ USD)

@DocSwag @hey_yo_ I got a 13" 256gb Touch bar macbook pro in good condition. (Only a couple of little scratches on the bottom of the laptop)

I got it for 1200$ CAD (955$ USD) 

How do you feel about that price? :P

I already have a Dell Inspiron 15 7000 with 16gb/1050ti/512nvme/4k IPS 

I just really wanted to be able to use final cut plug a eGPU when i'm home and learn OS X :P 

Also 13" was better because i already have a 15" ^^

To be honest, FCP X works well even on an iGPU. If there's one thing Apple is good at is optimizing hardware and software. Not even a gaming PC with i7-6700K and Adobe Premiere can compete with a ULV i7 on a 2015 MacBook Pro with FCP when it comes to rendering and exporting.

Not sure how much it is worth it. 

 

If you have enough cash, go for the 15 inch one. Otherwise , the 13 inch non touchbar is cheaper and I think it is already powerful enough for the tasks you wanna do. Besides you already have a powerful windows laptop. 

 

I am using one right now and it is snappy af. 

About "how much does it really worth it", i have no idea how to give you an answer. 

If it is not broken, let's fix till it is.
