• So where are we in the Macbook Pro release schedule? Are we expecting huge ramp ups in power etc soon? I need to get something ASAP...

    Will be getting a discounted machine through a friend, what processor will I be OK with? I don't particularly wanna bang out ~AU$4000 when I could spend a bit less... Was thinking 13" but 15" has much more grunt... Thoughts?

    Used for Creative Cloud, a little bit of video as well as design stuff, lots of Logic X... Gonna be plugged into a Thunderbolt display when it's at home...

  • They aint gonna do anything major with them for a few years, I imagine.

    Current ones were fairly recently updated and are the 2nd revision of the new form factor. Some people have issues with the new keyboard, so a revised one will likely have new buttons. Power-wise, get the most oomph you can reasonably afford.

  • Said it up thread but we have a few 13 inch absolute base spec machines from 2012/3 and they more than hold their own for even fairly complex editing tasks. Only faff is screen real estate but if you're plugging into a display then that's no bother. The new 15inch models are dead fancy but sound like overkill. That said, if you're trying to keep yourself future proofed for 5+ years like your last model then maybe it's worth the big spend now. Or half cash and half credit or something?
