Hey guys,
Sorry. I'm not a computer guy. If you've got a spare second, I'd be so grateful for some advice with a couple of daft issues that I should really know !
I use a MacBook to run Lightroom, Photoshop, and MS Office as well as internet and email. I seriously need to upgrade this hardware because Lightroom can't handle the RAW photo files and often hangs.
1. When I upgrade the system will I need to purchase Office, Lightroom and Photoshop again ? Or can I transfer my operating system between machines ?
2. I'm having difficulty comparing iMAC and MacBook pro spec for spec, because the processors are different. Has anyone any tips on how to compare the performance of these machines ?
Thanks a lot for your help. Much appreciated !
Cheers,
John.
