But given your reply, I'd recommend RAM over processor.
Sounds like you are looking at the mid-level base model, 2.4/8/256, and upgrading either the processor for $100 or the RAM for $200?
yes, ram would be the thing to upgrade first, but given his uses, I doubt he'll ever use up 8gb either
Depends on how large the files he's editing are, and how many of those apps are running together at the same time. I could see 16 GB helping things out if the PS files are huge or multiple files are open at once.
Same dilemmas here. Initially I was all for ram over CPU. Then an Apple assistant convinced me of the opposite.
Eventually coming to the conclusion that I will be more than happy with the base high-end model (8Gb/512Gb)
