If you don't need the power of the quad core i7, and don't mind not having the retina display, I'd actually get the base 2.5Ghz 13" i5 without the Retina display. That option would give you the choice to upgrade your RAM down the road if need be and gives you more storage options. In day to day use, as long as your not a power user, the base machine will probably serve you just fine, heck I use mine for editing in Final Cut Pro X as well as Photoshop etc. and although it's 4 years old it performs those hardware intensive tasks well. if you want retina get the 2.6Ghz model with 8gb of RAM, but don't get hung up on processor speed, especially if you don't plan on utilizing it all.</p></blockquote><p></p>
