[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1888901, member: 131855"] Given what you want to do, 16 GB of memory is probably a good recommendation. Some users have moved to 32 GB, but that's a significant investment. One thing to keep in mind is that memory isn't upgradeable, so you kinda have to get what you think you will need. The Mac is somewhat more efficient about some aspects of file storage, but IMHO actual file sizes do not seem to be significantly different across platforms in most cases. If your current 1 TB drive is about half full, I will look for similar amounts of storage on the Mac if you can afford it. The alternative is to store music and videos on an external drive. That's easy to do. How much of your current drive is devoted to data storage vs. the applications themselves? [/QUOTE]
