Hi, all, I'm rather indecisive at the moment and could use some of your opinions to help me pick a Macbook. For work purposes it will be for web development which means I'll be running Photoshop, an IDE, a couple browsers likely with multiple tabs, Windows 7 via Parallels, and one or more Office apps. For play, it will mostly be a really expensive way for me to view funny cat videos. I have a PC for major gaming. Playing the occasional game on the go would be a nice option but it's not a deal breaker. I'd like to one day get into video editing and 3D modeling but if my chosen Macbook can't handle it I could always use my gaming rig. So that said, which of the following would be the best for my situation.
The Non-Retinas include hi-res antiglare, third-party 512GB SSD, and third-party 16GB RAM
$2797 - New Non-Retina with 2.6GHz, 1GB video
$2580 - New Non-Retina with 2.3GHz, 512MB video
$2306 - Refurb Retina with 2.6GHz, 1GB video, 512GB SSD, 8GB RAM
Thank you for your help.
