[QUOTE="spock999, post: 1524649, member: 302396"] Just to wind this up! I did buy a MacBook Pro 13 with retina. I had been thinking of waiting for the rumoured upgrade but in fact bought a refurbished one 3.0 Ghz with 512Gb SSD. Very happy with it. I have calibrated it with Spyder4Pro. A bit fiddly as you have to tell it that it is a standard gamut LED back lit as it predates the retina screen. The result gives a good match with the Eizo S2433W. Obviously not as good but the colours are close enough. I have just finished a test edit with LR4 and the results don't need to be changed on the PC. It copes with LR4 perfectly OK and actually exported about 10Gb of photos to a new folder in about 1 min 23 sec which is entirely satisfactory. I still won't use it for the main editing but it is good to know that I can get the photo to a reasonable state without needing to undo the work. Predictably, the only place it falls down is because of the small screen - you just can't see the picture as clearly especially to judge sharpness. Would definitely recommend it for the job! [/QUOTE]
