I currently have a 2012 macbook pro retina, 8GB, GT650M, 2.3ghz.
I am thinking about upgrading to a more current model. My battery on this machine is over 1000 cycles and needs replacing, i have what i can only describe as a few white flicks behind my screen (which is confusing me) and i threw a graphics error when i ran a system check recently.
My only issue is to repair this mac would cost me quite a bit, i was quoted nearly £1000 GB to replace the logic board, screen fix and battery, so i am thinking about spending a bit more and upgrading however i am not entirely too sure which model to upgrade to. I spend a lot of time in photoshop and cinema 4d. So my questions are thusly :
1. My current 650m vs intel iris pro, what kind of improvement would i see? i have read a few articles around the net and the benchmarks do not seem to be overly different. I wouldnt mind too much but i would like to see some improvement. The highest priced model with the nvidia card is one option i could pick but it is a lot of money for me to spend right at this moment.
2. Yosemite, on this mac it has pretty much messed a few things up. It doesnt run as quick, the less said about safari the better and graphically it has caused some issues and it takes longer to boot up. What issues are there on the more modern machines?
