Good morning All!

I wanted to get some help in navigating what kind of Macbook I should purchase. I had a Macbook (Collector's Edition) late 2008 that I have had and it just went out. I am not to sure what to get. I used to do a lot of encoding but my needs have changed since I purchase my videos through iTunes. I also from time to time, work in iMovie for video creation in 30 second clips and iPhoto for touching up some photos. Nothing to graphics intense. Overall I generally work in productivity applications like the iWork suite and do general research.

I have been doing back and forth between the new Macbook (1.2 GHz) and a 13 inch Macbook Pro. With Skylake coming soon, I have been undecided on when would be the best time to purchase.

Thanks in advance!
 
The rMB is more than enough for your needs, unless you really want to spend a lot of time doing video work. The small amount you mention is just fine with the rMB.
