Yeah, always.
Currently my Gig is a Macbook Pro Mid 2012 with an i5 2.5GHz with 16GB of RAM and 240GB SSD.

I have a MacBook air mid 2012,2 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i7, 8GB of ram, and 520 ssd and it runs like a beast I worry about getting anything newer because of the security and knowing my luck I would managed to lock myself out because I work on iPhones. I dont know it's possible but if it is I will figure out away. It is definitely a great model because it's in most peoples price range and up-to-date enough you don't have much to worry about. Because with everything else that is Mac the newer it is the more it's going to cost you.

Apple offer two different series oflaptop which they sell ontheir site. The Macbook Air (more of an ebook)& the Macbook Pro. Both are very good but the Macbook Pro is more powerful with better hardware which gives you better performance for a task. If you're just going to browse the internet, write a few emails and use office software, then I suggest the Macbook Air. Otherwise, if you're going to do more developing (i.e graphics design, video editing/rendering, application creation, etc...) then choose the Macbook Pro.

If you really want a good laptop, a Mac is probably not a bad choice. Unless you want to play a lot or need windows for some reason.

Mac computers in general seem to suffer from a bit-rot type thing where they slow down noticably over time. I was running a 2014 (I think?) MBP for the longest, but eventually it just kept getting slower and slower. Dropped about $5k on a 2018 MBP and that thing is already showing its age, and it overheats really bad. If you don't NEED a mac, I would recommend buying a beefy PC instead.

i would definitely get a macbook pro 100% with that extra ram, if you need it for work i would get more space as well
