In fact you’d be crazy not to do just that: If you updated the RAM in the 1.4GHz model (the one with the 512GB SSD, which would match the entry-level 2.0GHz model) you’d be paying £1,699 / $1,699 / AU$2,599. Apple says that the original £100 price was a mistake but our hunch is that Apple is making sure that people who might consider updating the RAM in the 1.4GHz model buy the 2.0GHz model instead. To make matters worse Apple has actually doubled the price of this RAM! Previously you could get 16GB 2133MHz LPDDR3 memory for these 1.4GHz models for £100/$100 but after updating the 2.0GHz models with 16GB RAM as standard Apple mysteriously doubled the price of the RAM upgrade in the entry-level models. What’s really disappointing is that there is a build-to-order option to add more RAM to the entry level model, so you could get 16GB RAM in the 1.4GHz model, but this 16GB RAM would still be the slower kind. The 2133MHz LPDDR3 memory is slower than the 3733MHz LPDDR4X memory. The mid-range models have 16GB 3733MHz LPDDR4X memory, which is not only twice as much as the 8GB 2133MHz LPDDR3 memory in the entry-level model, it’s also faster.

The RAM is perhaps the biggest let down of the entry-level MacBook Pro. USB-C hub and plug in multiple devices to that. If that sounds like it might be an issue for you then the 2.0GHz MacBook Pro, which have four USB-C ports, might look attractive. That might not be a problem for you if all your peripherals are wireless, but if you had to plug in an external drive or something else then it could quickly become frustrating. Remember that you will inevitably have your MacBook Pro plugged in most of the time, which will keep one of your two ports tied up, and if you want to plug in a second display that’s your other port gone. When making a decision about whether to buy the entry-level MacBook Pro it’s important to consider whether two USB-C/Thunderbolt ports will be enough for you. The new Intel Iris Plus Graphics found in the more expensive MacBook Pro are superior to the older graphics in the 1.4GHz model. The leap from the integrated graphics on the 8th-generation processor to those on a 10th-generation processor is quite vast and will make a difference to you if you wanted to play games of watch 4K video. Speaking of graphics, the Intel 10th-generation processors come with better built-in graphics.
