Help! With buying MacBook 2017 vs 2018

Hi, Im wanting to purchase a new MacBook Pro.


I will be using it for Photo and occasional video editing and for video games (every once in a while)


These are my current two options:


MacBook Pro 2017

3.1GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7 with Retina display

1TB PCIe-based onboard SSD1

Radeon Pro 560 with 4GB of GDDR5 memory and automatic graphics switching

Intel HD Graphics 630

16GB of 2133MHz LPDDR3 onboard memory


VS


MacBook Pro 2019

  • 2.6GHz 6-core 8th-generation Intel Core i7 processor, Turbo Boost up to 4.3GHz
  • Retina display with True Tone
  • Touch Bar and Touch ID
  • Radeon Pro 560X with 4GB of GDDR5 memory
  • 16GB 2400MHz DDR4 memory
  • 512GB SSD storage


What would be best? Considering the 2017 model is slightly cheaper than the less powerful 2018 model.


MacBook Pro w/ Touch Bar (2018 or later)

The biggest difference I see here worth considering is the storage space is double on the 2017.


Are these both touchbar?? Maybe or maybe not on your wish list.
