Dear all,
after 6 wonderful years with my MacBook Pro 15-inch (early 2011), its graphics/video card decided to stop working and Apple cannot replace it for me because the computer is considered to be "vintage". Moreover, I have been told that the replacement of this hardware will cost around £ 500 and it might be wise considering to buy a completely new notebook. The problem is that I am not very familiar with all the specs and I don't know what should I look for.
I use my MacBook mainly to edit RAW pictures (LR/PS) and to edit short video using GoPro footages (FCPX). Considering that I would like to maintain my budget as low as possible, I might be willing to move to a smaller screen.
What would you suggest? Which specs should I consider when purchasing a new MacBook for my particular uses and needs? Memory, storage, processor, etc.
Playing a little bit on Apple Store I came out with the following specs:
13-inch MacBook Pro
Hardware
Thank you.
Regards
Matteo
