My 16 yo kid is looking to buy a used MacBook Pro for Lightroom and Final Cut Pro work to use with his drone footage. He is considering a 2013 model but I'm trying to convince him it would be better to save his money for another week or so and pay more for a 2015 model. In regards to speed of the two models (I-7 and 16gb ram) is there much of a difference when it comes to this kind of work?

My goal for the machine he buys is for it to last another two years. When high school is over we will be buying him a new model. Thanks in advance.
