Hiya guys, LONG time lurker.
Have finally signed up because I'm lost. Im rocking a fairly old(2015) 13: macbook pro 8gb ram core 2.7 i5 256gb disk.
We do everything together. I sit on this machine all day, do all my web work, print design, graphic design and dabble with video for fun. It does the job fine, sure rendering is a little slow but thats fine, hd video doesn't playback with decent FPS in premiere but thats fine.
Opening apps has become slow, FILE>NEW in photoshop is starting to grate at me, im also thinking the 8gb is holding me back, I work like a manic beast jumping from app to app.
Looking at the macbook pro of course - I'm thinking I need 16gb - will I see a perfmance boost going from 8 to 16gb?
Working on a 15" screen would be nice but im thinking just not portable enough despite how I would adore the screen - I work from a lot of different places.
Not sure I'll see a benefit (aside form rendering) on a new processor - maybe going with a 16gb macbook air and a new funky ipad would suit me - using ipad for video
I'm just thinking getting an upgrade just wont give me enough of a performance boost to warrant £2k
Really lost guys, would appreciate any advice or thoughts. Ive worked to save up and need some kind of treat
