Hi guys,
I'm looking to buy a new MacBook Pro (16 model) since my old laptop feels a little outdated. I'm a newb when it comes to hardware so I was wondering if you could chime in on what you think would be the best laptop for my needs. I mainly do Photoshop and Video editing. I'm wondering if I would see a big performance improvement between the 2.3GHz and 2.4GHz and from Radeon Pro 5500M with 4GB vs 8GB. I like the performance of my iMac (seems a lot more snappier than my mbp) and was wondering if the new MBP 16' setup would be as fast or faster than my current iMac. Also, I inputed my serial for trade in for mbp and says ~$650 on Apple's site, do you guys recommend trading in with Apple or via third party? Much appreciated, thanks in advanced.
Current setup:
MacBook Pro Retina, 15 inch, Mid 2014
2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
Memory 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2 GB
1 TB SSD
iMac Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014
4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
Memory 24GB 1600 MHz DDR3
AMD Radeon R9 M290X 2GB
