[QUOTE="greyhound rick, post: 1878301, member: 147622"] Hello everyone, I appreciate any help you can give me! I am a professional photographer and currently use a Late 2013 MBP 15" 16 GB RAM, 512 SSD, Dedicated graphics running High Sierra. I do not do any video editing but my photo files are large as I use a Sony a7riv camera with RAW files of 60-120mb each. I also usually have very large files after editing with a lot of layers. Im not that knowledgeable these days with respect to the intricacies of Mac OS and Mac hardware but I believe my current MPB will not run the latest OS. Also, I cannot update my Adobe software with my current hardware and software. So, Im going to need a new MBP. I don't have a particular budget per se, but Id like to keep the cost down to as low as possible with the caveat that I need the laptop to be fairly quick and able to run Photoshop, Lightroom and several plug ins. Ideally I think the new 16" MBP would be ideal for me but Im hoping to find an alternative for a lower price. I don't mind using a 13" laptop for my main machine, especially if I can add a monitor later on. I just want to make sure that the MBP I purchase will adequately perform for editing still photos with the aforementioned software. Any suggestions you can make would be greatly appreciated and I thank you for your time and expertise. Best to you and take care! Rick [/QUOTE]
