I've just upgraded from a 3 year old 13" Macbook Pro (dual dore 2.3Ghz i5, w/8GB RAM) to a new 16" Macbook Pro (eight core 2.4Ghz i9, w/ 32GB RAM).
Wow!
It is an amazing difference. Especially for livestreaming development on Twitch, which is what I use it for. I think one of the big differences in that case, is that the larger case gives it better cooling. Not sure if that would be as much an issue for your usecase.
Thanks for letting me know. To be honest I don't like the price - hardware quality ratio in Apple devices and that is why I just try to buy something as cheap as possible that's good enough. Then I will buy a ThinkPad when I need more powerful laptop. I like ThnkPad most from all non-macos because it's so durable. You can take it to beach, camping, battle zone, or actually anywhere without needing to scare that the screen cracks or the keyboard breaks.
Last year I also upgraded, 2011 single core MBP17 to a 2019 MBP with the eight core 2.4Ghz i9 and 32 gb of ram. My office computer is a 6 core xeon with 32 gb and this laptop can build my whole project in about 50% of the time my work station can, also windows vs macOS so there's that difference as well. Other than the cost I have no issues with the laptop.
On the price point, depending what you are working on/using the computer for you wouldn't have to max it out. Now that I have a remote computer from work (2015 iMac 27" with 4Ghz quad core i7 and 24 GB RAM) and I don't have to work from my laptop when I am remote, it is extremely over powered for what I use it for. My though rational was if I was going to spend that much money I would rather spend a little more and get much more processing power out of it.
