It is very capable of doing what you need it to do. I'd strongly suggest buying refurbished though. You can ask around they are just as good if not better than new machines. They are 14-day returns mostly returned just for the simple reason that it was buyers remorse. Apple then checks absolutely everything and puts it through stress testing and replaces something if it needs replaced. I actually have pretty bad OCD and a ding, scratch, or backlight issues, or any noticeable cosmetic imperfections would drive me up the wall. I will buy nothing but refurbished if I can get the spec i'm after. All my Apple products except for my iPhone are refurbished and I wouldn't have it any other way. They are essentially brand new machines just in a different box. You get the same 14-day return policy, 1 year of support, and you can purchase applecare for them. You get a good bit of savings as well because apple can't sell it as new. The cosmetic condition and function i've gotten from refurbs from apple is absolutely outstanding. For instance apple's ipads they replace the outer shell and battery even if it was returned a day later with no issues. They really have extremely high standards with their refurbs. This isn't dell,hp etc refurbishment process. Only buy refurbs from apple. The model you want is 350 dollars cheaper refurbished. There is no catch with this it is apple's best kept secret. Sometimes you even get a higher spec than what you ordered if apple runs out of stock. I ordered a 2.2ghz i7 rMBP with 256GB ssd and got a 2.6GHz i7 model with 512GB ssd for the price of the lower tier refurb. Got a 2700 dollar machine back in late 2013 for 1700. You have nothing to lose buy going with a refurb if you're not happy you can return it. If you choose to buy new to answer your question it will suit your needs just fine.
