I'm going to be buying a rMBP this week and can't decide about my hd/ram setup.
I get a discount through my work for apple products, and so ill be going with a 15" 2.7 ghz rMBP. I can't decide though if I want 16gb of ram and 256gb ssd or 8gb ram and 512gb ssd (to keep my price under 3k including AppleCare and a couple adapters and a smart stand after tax)
Ill be using this primarily for phot and video editing, some gaming but not my primary machine for gaming... I have my pc for that. I will be running windows 7 on it through boot camp some times as well. My video editing will be done on iMovie and adobe premier.
As far as storage, I do intend on having external hard drives for most of my files, I just didn't know if 256gb is going to push it for someone who intends on putting windows 7 on there with a few games on that partition as well. Any insight?
P.s. I do intend on refreshing my purchase in 3 years when AppleCare is up so I don't know if that factors in to making a decision between 8 and 16 gigs of ram
