The place I live limits me to this budget and these two macbook pros are the best I can get(both specced devices come to a almost identical price):
I am a graphic designer and I am 99% in photoshop and illustrator. I would buy the 16" model in a heartbeat if I knew 16GB RAM will be enough. I do work rarely on 2-3GB .PSB(large photoshop files) and if I know the 16GB pro could handle them that would be great. 13" model small screen does not bother me as 70% of the time it will be hooked to a nice large monitor on a desktop, and that's why also the big size of 16" does not bother me neither.
It will be my first MAC device and its very important to be the right one as I am planning to use it as my work and only device for the next 5 years. With that in mind I am not sure what specs are more important for a MAC. I just know as a graphic designer my apps don't need a great GPU.
