[QUOTE="Zurfyvision, post: 1647677, member: 145539"] Buying a refurbished machine is a great way to go. Apple tests them to make sure they are running great. Also, you get a 1 year warranty with it. I just got a MacBook Pro with Retina display 13." It is the mid-tier in that size with the 256 SSD. I am a novice photographer and plan on using this machine to do some photo editing with it. As I have only had it a month, I haven't had the chance to work with too many pictures. The other things I do is basically what you said you would being doing with yours. The only thing is that if you want to continue burning dvd/cd's, you will need to purchase an optical drive, whether an Apple SuperDrive or any other compatible brand. As chas_m mentions, the 13" MBA is a good way to go, as well. However, I would at lease order one in with an upgrade to 8gb of ram. Also, you might want to take into consideration the purchase of an external hdd for making backups. The suggested size of the drive should be double what your internal storage is. [/QUOTE]
