Speedy and Efficient - Perfect for Travel
By J. Evans
I spent A LOT of time debating which macbook pro was going to meet my needs. I wanted something to use mostly for photography and web while away from home (at home I use a Mac Mini, 2010 hooked up to a Dell U2412 which is excellent for photo editing). As a serious amateur photographer, I use Lightroom 4 and Photoshop CS6 heavily. My concern was having enough juice to power these two programs with speed and ease. Most reviews recommended getting the 15" MBP as it offered a quad core and separate graphics card to handle the editing load. Having spent some time in the Apple Store, I knew that the 15" was just too big for me. I contemplated getting the regular MBP without retina as that machine offers the option to upgrade at a later time, which unfortunately the retina does not....but after seeing the screen on the retina, I just couldn't do it. So....I had decided on the retina MBP 13", but what about hard drives? I REALLY wanted the SSD, but the price was tough to swallow. I finally settled on this version. I knew that 8GB RAM would be sufficient, as that is what I have in my 2010 Mac Mini, and it's perfectly adequate to handle my editing. I also knew that 3 years makes a world of difference in technology, so even with the same RAM, the laptop would probably be faster. I was hesitant on the 236GB SSD drive, but knew that 128 was completely insufficient and I didn't want to drop the big cash for the 512 version.....so, I settled for this, knowing that I won't be dumping lots of programs on it and will keep my high res. photos on a portable drive anyway.I can tell you that this computer is phenomenal. It is probably about 10x faster than my Mac Mini and the boot up time of the SSD is a dream. It handles Lightroom and Photoshop with ease. The screen is a bit small on real estate, but the clarity of the retina more than makes up for the space. This is the perfect "on the road" laptop for me. Now, if you are looking to make this your main computer, you may want to think twice. I just don't think it would suffice. You'd probably want to invest in the 15" with more power and perhaps skip the retina so you can upgrade in the future....but for travel, I couldn't be happier with this snappy machine!
