Am soon to replace my current ageing MacBook Pro with a new one. Currently have 15" with 16GB RAM and 512 GB Storage.
It is used for daily surfing and all photo editing in PS CC/Bridge/ACR. No gaming or tv/film watching/streaming. Connected to external 27" screen for PS work.
As the price difference between the 13" and 15" version is horrendous I am thinking of down-sizing to the 13" version.
Now, what I know about these things can be written on a postage stamp, hence this post.
Would a new 13" MacBook Pro, with 2,3 Ghz processor, 8GB RAM and 256GB storage be good enough to cope with RAW and TIFF files, multi layers, etc, or would I need to go up to 16GB RAM?
I store all images externally and only have those I am working on stored on the machine.
Thoughts and opinions from those of you who know about these things, please.
NB! I am NOT interested in looking at Windows alternatives.
