• I've been offered an iMac gratis. I'm wondering if it's going to handle Adobe stuff (Photoshop, Indesign and After Effects mainly) better than my MacBook pro - i'm desperately trying to hold off on a costly upgrade (especially after being told here about upcoming hardware releases!).

    Current:
    MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015)
    2.7 GHz Intel Core i5
    8 GB 1867 MHz DDR3
    Intel Iris Graphics 6100 1536 MB

    Free mac:
    iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2009)
    3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    12 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    NVIDIA GeForce 9400 256 MB

    Is the graphic card in the MBP going to outweigh the processor and ram difference?

  • You MacBook Pro will be better by a long shot.
    What issues do you have with your current set up? An eGPU could be a good easy upgrade option for you if its GPU intensive work?
