[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1660766, member: 56379"] From these two key statements…to be honest…you would probably be just fine with a 13" MacBook Pro.:) It's not so much a complexity thing…as it's more of volume thing that I'm thinking of. If you really don't have the volume of photos or videos to process compared to a professional…what's a little extra time with a lower spec computer??…if it saves you quite a bit of cash buying it.:) Consider a professional photographer or videographer…who may need to "chug" thru 8-10 hours of projects/day. And compare this to the lower volume of material you may have. The professional would probably benefit greatly from the more powerful computer…since to them…time is money. Now I'm not saying that an amateur can't have a top end computer. It's just a dollars & cents thing. If the budget allows for a $2499 computer…go for it. I'm just saying that you could probably save $1000+…by getting a 13" MBP.:) Of course the one "wild card" in this conversation is…what's the realistic chance of this hobby (at the moment)…turning into much more in the near future. This is only something you can guess at for sure.:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
