Hey everybody!
I am considering buying the new Macbook 2016 m7 for a relative. She's is the average user (internet browser, email, Skype, Netflix, YouTube, Spotify, Word, YouTube, etc)... Nothing that the new MacBook couldn't handle.
HOWEVER she is a hobbyist photographer and that means some mid-level Photoshop editing of RAW images. Nothing crazy, but sometimes she has 3 or 4 RAW images (30mb each) loaded simultaneously on Photoshop, playing with filters, blurs, etc.
So far, she's been using a 2013 Macbook Air i7, 2.0 Ghz with 8gb RAM, and it's been working like a champ for her Photoshop needs (that computer is mean little beast
).
So, here's my question: what Photoshop-like synthetic benchmark could we run at the Apple store so we could test the Macbook m7 vs her Macbook Air i7 at home? The idea is to be able to run a benchmark that mimics the processing stress of Photoshop, so we can determine how the Macbook will fare before we fork out the money.
TIA!
