As the title suggests I need some help deciding my next apple purchase. I currently have a 2010 white macbook that I bought used last year, but as my demandes increase my poor macbooks performance decreases and along with that the battery is starting to lose charge... Anyway I feel that it is time to step into the future and upgrade to the next generation of apple computers. Right now I am spending most of my time on my macbook doing the following: programming, gaming, and web browsing. Occasionally I do like to mess around play with more resource intensive apps like adobe (photoshop, light room, etc.). I currently have $1250, but I'll be getting paid soon so I'll have about $2000. I currently think I want the 13 inch rMBP baseline, but I am worried about the following things...
>No dedicated graphics
>Low storage (currently have 128gb so not that big of a deal)
>Only 8gb of ram
>Screen ghosting
I would like your input because I have no idea what I'm doing at this point. Would it be better to get the 15 inch for the dedicated graphics? I don't want to give up gaming on my mac because I like it better than gaming on xbox or playstation, so would the Intel hd 4000 be enough? I know there is an event in June, but will they update the retina line then? Any suggestions would be appreciated!
