Advice on rMBP 13 for Lightroom

[wisann]

Hi guys,

I've been thinking to get a rMBP 13 for my editing works (Lightroom, Photoshop). Could you advise which rMBP 13 I should go for? Will basic CPU + 16 GB RAM enough for this?

Note: Reason I am getting rMBP 13 is for portability and I have a PC with 27" monitor to use when I am at home.

Thank you.

For design apps on a Retina, RAM is king.

From what I see jumping between 3 different macs, anything Apple is CPU intensive while anything Adobe is Ram and GPU intensive. The 2012 model had a HD4000 I believe and the 2013 has the Iris. Only issue is for a true dedicated GPU you need the 15 incher.
