I am looking to purchase the $1,999 15" MacBook Pro with Retina Display (Can be referenced here http://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/macbook-pro). My question is in regards to it's processing power. The specs I'm interested in for it are as follows:
I'm looking to do video editing, music production and graphic design such as Photoshop on this computer. What's also important is I want to be able to edit 4k footage on this computer which I understand can be taxing if there isn't enough processing power. Would this computer be able to comfortably handle processing these programs or should I look at purchasing a 13" quad-core Intel Core i7 with 3.1 GHz for $200 more (Not listed on the Apple website but is in their retail store). Thank you for your input.
- 2.2 GHz quad-core Intel Core i7
