Sorry, same old, same old question. I currently have a basic mid 2012 refurbished MBP that you guys advised me on back same time of year 2012. I have had no problems whatsoever with it, love it. But I am now just getting into hobby photography. And photo editing with Affinity Photo. With thay said, please keep in mind I am a 69 yo retiree that did not grow up with technology but I have done well as a user and learned to use an ipad first and then Mac OS pretty well. Wouldnt be good on the technical end of fixing Mac problems but as said, havnt had any (last sentence just FWIW, in case any relevence to recommendation)
Anyway, I want to upgrade to a newer and more powerful Macbook Pro with more storage. I did upgrade recently to a 64gb iPad Air to hold my photos and now want to upgrade the MBP. I dont have any other needs for better processing and storage other than photography. I am really not interested in external storage either. Also, I would love to get an iMac this time but hubby has built me a niche in my Master walk in closet for using my MBP and an iMac wont fit.
Budget is not an issue, I am not wealthy but I have saved and can afford top of the line 13" rmbp. And I see no reason not to go again with a refurb. So I have spotted one in the Apple Sore with 16gb ram, i7 processor and 1 tb storage. But for the photo editing/processing/photo storage is this overkill. I mean I dont want to look like the little old lady that has a fancy cadillac but only uses it to go to the grocery store once a week. So can I get some advice once again.
