Not sure if this is the right section for this question but I’m stuck in this dilemma mainly due to the price difference. I’d choose 2017 model due to high clocks and better ram any day over the 2016 model but then the price difference is quite big so I want to ask you guys if it’s worth spending extra bucks to get the 2017 model with same options.

- MacBook Pro 2016 (non touch) 8gb, 256 ssd - 1130$
-MacBook Pro 2017 (non touch) 8gb, 256 ssd - 1450$

I will be doing normal daily tasks such as browsing, watching videos, multitasking etc..

Cheers

Not an expert on these, but I know the devices my organization purchased this year only have usb-c ports (plus a headphone jack). There are no more usb-a (ver 2 or 3) or thunderbold-2 ports available on the 2017 model.
