Navigating Budget Constraints: Finding the Ideal Mac Solution for Business Development

<p>Welcome to this article, this time we look at a situation that occurred during this week. I won&rsquo;t keep you in suspense any longer, and I will introduce you to the problem that has arisen. I was asked by a customer to give him arguments (ammunition) therefore to be able to justify buying a cheaper device for the developer than their developer requested. Since I didn&rsquo;t fully know the context I suggested a meeting where they presented what they wanted to use the new Apple device for and also gave me an overview of the configurations they were considering.</p> <h2>The position of each party</h2> <p>The developer wanted a 14&quot; MacBook Pro with M2 Pro, even in a lower configuration i.e. with 10CPU cores and 16GB of unified memory. Such a choice is reasonable, personally I would even choose the variant with 12CPU cores, which is still $300 more expensive. So the desired machine was worth $1,999 yes it&rsquo;s not a lot of money but it&rsquo;s a device that keeps up with you everywhere so the price can be justified.</p> <p>However, the manager would only be willing to release a smaller budget by roughly a third and suggested getting a 13&quot; MacBook Pro with M2 even with 8GB of unified memory, which comes out to $1,299. Here, without hesitation, I entered the discussion and said that a minimum of 16GB of unified memory made sense for the developer.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/macoclock/navigating-budget-constraints-finding-the-ideal-mac-solution-for-business-development-28e31be3e4e2">Read More</a></p>
