[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1878316, member: 307555"] First your 2013 will run Big Sur. BUT you are behind just a few versions! Check out this link for how you can upgrade your OS to Big Sur: [URL]https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201475[/URL] Keep in mind you will be loosing the use of any 32-bit apps you currently use. As for what software/app for photo editing? You seem to want to stay with Photoshop and Lightroom - and I understand that. I have used [URL='https://apps.apple.com/us/app/affinity-photo/id824183456?mt=12']Affinity Photo[/URL] but I will tell you once you use Photoshop there is no comparison. Also you do not say if you have an older version of Photoshop like CS6 or if you are pay for the subscription to Adobe CC. I have both and they both still work well with Mojave. The new MBP's with the M1 processor are said to be compatible with Adobe CC which includes Photoshop and Lightroom. I do not own an M1 so I can not say how well Adobe apps work but they claim compatibility. As far as speed goes they are supposed to be blazing fast. I have two friends who own MBP 16" Intel models. One has the basic model with the i7 processor and 16 GB which is used extensively for creating videos using Premiere Pro and also some Photoshop work. He loves his and says it is very fast. The other friend has a 16" MBP i9 with 32GB. She is a graphic designer and does extensive Photoshop and Illustrator work for a TV station. She loves her MBP. I have a 13" 2020 MBP, i7 32gb, that I use for Photoshop and some video work. I love it and it is great for photos and short videos. All of us use external monitors. I hope that answered your questions. Personally if I were in your shoes I would upgrade the 2013 to Big Sur - after making a clone of the drive for backup - then wait for the newer models of M1's (or what ever they call it) to come out. When you purchase a new computer you will be making an investment that will hopefully last many years. With all the new changes in processors at Apple it might be worth waiting. Lisa [/QUOTE]
