I was waiting for WWDC to get either a cMBP or a rMBP, but of course that never happened.
I'm still pretty desperate for a laptop as the one I'm using now shuts off as soon as the plug is removed as well as a whole host of other problems, I start university in September so then is the absolute latest I could wait and being a student I obviously want to take advantage of the back to school offer.
So now of course I'm thinking of getting a MBA but I'm not sure if would be powerful enough (With my budget I would get the 13 inch, 128gb SSD and upgrade to 8gb of RAM).
Things I would use it for are:
Document writing and editing, I'm on a business course but it's more practical so where setting up businesses ourselves so you can imagine what we'd need to do for that.
Music production and DJ'ing, I mainly use Ableton live for production and Traktor for DJ'ing with plugging in an S4.
Photo editing, not much just making a few flyers on photoshop and possibly brochures and logos etc depending on what comes up in the course.
& general stuff like watching lots of films and series as well browsing etc..
I also have quite a large music and photo collection.
So yeah I'm a bit stuck really I don't want to buy outdated tech and then again then again I don't want to buy a laptop that's so expensive only to realize that it can't handle my usage.
Has anyone got any suggestions or in a similar situation?
