Hi everyone,
I've got a Macbook Air from mid-2013 (1.3GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5, 8GB 1600 mhz RAM, 256 GB SSD).
I use it pretty much just for Lightroom since I've got my phone for most other basic computing tasks, and I am not a gamer. My LR catalog has about 15,000 photos in it right now, so it's not as speedy as it once was.
I was wondering if it makes sense for me to upgrade to a new (or refurbished) Macbook Pro? I'm looking at refurbished models from 2017 (2.3GHz dual-core Intel Core i5, 8GB 2133MHz RAM, 256 GB SSD).
I would like to get into more video production just for fun, but I'm afraid that my current system may be too slow for that.
Do you think I'll see a noticeable difference in processing speed in the upgrade? Is there something I should focus on for faster/better photo/video editing, such as more RAM or better video card? Or should I save my $$ until my Macbook Air kicks the bucket? Thanks.
