[QUOTE="fusionsky, post: 742339, member: 70959"] My wife finally decided to retire her 2.5-year old Dell Latitude and donated to her parents. I am trying to get her a mac notebook instead, as she is pretty much online and uses almost no MS software. I am very new to Mac even though I have been watching Steve Jobs speech for years. I need to decide between two new Mac notebooks: [URL]https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001D8S9E2/?tag=macforums0e4-20[/URL] and [URL]https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001GCTT7G/?tag=macforums0e4-20[/URL] It seems the major differences are processor speed (2.0 vs. 2.4 Hz) and hard drive size. Harddrive size is no issue to me. My question is what difference would a faster processor make on a MacOS? Is it beneficial just for certain Mac software like video editing, or has some impact on overall OS performance? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
