I use Photoshop Elements (as a hobby) and iTunes a lot. My sight is getting worse (CRVO) so thought maybe a Retina display would help? I had sort of thought about a MBPro 15" but am put off by the butterfly keyboard issues.

I thought an increase from my current 13" to 15" added to Retina might just be the best solution. I keep a large pictures folder and a documents one; I suppose I do it that way from using Windows up to ten years ago. This current 2014 MacBook Air 13" is 128gb and full to bursting. 75% is iTunes. Rest of what I do is surfing the internet, Facebook etc.

I could wait quite easily in the hope a 2019 MacBook cures the keyboard issues. Plug in wise, my Camera and iPod are it. I realise I need dongles.

My main question is MacBook standard or MacBook Pro really? I've explained my visual limitations and what I do in the hope you might be able to offer a thought or two. I use it as a laptop on my lap, not on a desk or anything. I'm retired.

Thank you
