Hi Folks,
a question - my current desktop is close to dead and I need to get new one asap, and I decided to turn to Mac.
I need it for:
1. Lightroom/Photoshop
2. Video editing
3. ProTools (Music recording)
And I puzzled in my choice -
from one side new retina MBP, with 2.7 MHz cpu with new HD graphic features, and 1666 MHz memory,
from another side current iMac with 3.4 MHz cpu but 1333 MHz memory. Let's count that both have SSD drives, and price is about same
What is bothering me -
- what is more important for performance - cpu or memory?
- how new graphic of Ivy Bridge is important for my tasks?
- Retina display - will it be usable for Photo processing? I use 24" now, with less resolution, will it help or not?
Thank you in advance
