[QUOTE="rockone, post: 1041564, member: 152179"] Hi, I'm completely confused as to what is better for my needs: more ram or more processing power. I'm attending an MBA program in the fall, and I will be working heavily with productivity applications such as ms office or iworks. I also do digital photo editing in PS and lightroom2, and I do very minimal video editing through imovie. I currently have the black 13" MB, but it is way too slow for my needs. My question is, should I buy the new 13" MBP and opt for 8GB of RAM? Or should I buy the new 15" MBP w/ i5 and leave the RAM at 4GB. Or even the 15" MBP w/ i7? I really like the 13" format, but I really feel uncomfortable about purchasing antiquated equipment with the lack of an i5 processor in the latest offering - especially since technology moves so quickly. Thoughts? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
