Trying to figure out if I should upgrade my 2016 15" tbMBP. 2.7ghz 16gigs of ram 512 gig hard drive.
I’m not thinking about upgrading because of the keyboard or anything like that. I’ve basically been using my MacBook as a desktop as well. Running 2 external 4k monitors thru thunderbolt.. But also running a virtual windows 10, while also running photoshop or Lightroom. Sometimes running photoshop and final cut at the same time. I've obviously been experiencing slow downs. Im sure its due to ram but also not sure if the graphics card can handle what im doing. When I lower the display resolution, the machine definitely runs smoother.
I was debating on getting an iMac, but I like being on the go. Was wondering if this new MacBook with 32 gigs of ram, will handle these tasks better.
I was debating also on getting a eGPU instead.. but I dont know..
What are you alls thoughts?
