[QUOTE="greyhound rick, post: 1805011, member: 147622"] Hello everyone, I currently have a Late 2013 MBP Retina 15" 500 gig SS storage with: 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM Intel Iris Pro 1536 mb dedicated graphics I currently use Photoshop CC, Lightroom CC, NIK Software, Nikon Capture NX-D and Capture One. My image files are RAW and I use a Nikon D850 full frame 46MP sensor. Since my file sizes are fairly large and I tend to have a large amount of layers with every image I do in Photoshop, LR etc. Ive noticed that my MBP is struggling at times. Nothing serious but definitely not as fast as when I was using smaller image files and older software. Do you feel that an upgrade to a new MacBook Pro would make that big of a difference if I were to spec it out fairly well? The speed on my current set up is ok, but as I do more shooting with my D850 Im thinking my work flow may slow down even more. I do use 2 external drives for storage and usually have no more than 80% of my on board hard drive occupied. Thanks very much for your help with this. Im not a technical person so any insight would be greatly appreciated. Best to you, Rick [/QUOTE]
