Hi all & greetings from the UK.
I have been a PC user for longer than I can imagine & now that my i5 2nd Gen HP is on it's last legs, I have decided that it is time to leave Windows & jump to Mac, especially now that many machines use Windows 10 * insert explicit text here*.
Any how I have decided on getting my first ever Macbook Pro & while I don't have an exact budget in mind, I would prefer to start with an older model, as my Photographic equipment has cost me a fortune.
The question I have is, which model is good for a starter ?. If I get hooked, then I will also be looking at getting an iMac & iPad Pro with Pencil throughout this year.
Ideally I need the Macbook Pro to run Lightroom, Photoshop for things like cloning & skin healing, so not overkill with layers, I will also be using Portrait Professional. And some occasional Green Screen software.
I will also be using it for editing when away from home.
I am not a gamer & will not be using it to edit videos, other than the odd compression conversion with software like Handbrake.
Is there anyone here that can point me in the right direction on what is good & what to completely avoid ?.
Many thanks
