Hey guys,

I'm new to the community and to the mac world so I need your experienced advice.

My eyes are on a late 2013 retina macbook pro :
- 13 inch 2.4 ghz ; 256 GB SSD ; 8GB memory ($1550)

I consider my self an advanced windows user.
I played with a Mac couple of time and I will have no time to be well experienced at it.

I will use it mainly for : photography, design (photoshop, lightroom, illustrator ...), programing. I know the 15" is the go for the screen and the dedicated graphics but I don't want to spend that kind of money for that value.

1- So is the model im looking for, good for photoshop work (no slowing down, stalling, random crashes) ?

2- If I want to run bootcamp and install windows are 8gb of ram sufficient or I should upgrade to 16gb ?

Thanks
