I don't have a desktop machine, so will only use MBP. I'm not going for a 15'' as I need something small, portable, light and 15'' is too large in this case. Taking a closer look, I wouldn't consider any of the new MBP's. Resolution of the touchbar is small, but that's not all it will use RAM for.
I don't know how people can edit on a 13" screen. A refurb 15.4" 2015 model is probably the best value right now. I would go with a non-toucbar model, absolutely. Which is precious when using LR, PS, and Spotify. The touch bar has a resolution of 2170X60 which can't take that much of the memory. So, its is not that clear that it is overpriced (compared to the non-touch model).Īlong with the risk of things not really working correctly. In addition it has a slightly better graphics card, two additional Thunderbolt 3 ports (important especially if you use an external monitor) and a touch bar with Touch id. The base touch bar model have an i5 processor but one that runs at 3.1 Ghz. You need to add $300 to get a dual core 2.5 Ghz i7 processor which makes it the same price as the touch bar model. The none touch bar model with 256GB costs $1499. The base model of the Touch Bar MBP (with 256GB SSD) costs $1799. It's 1st Gen technology, so that is to be expected, That is an entertainment device, not a production machine. The touchbar could eat into RAM as well, which is precious when using LR, PS, and Spotify. It's 1st Gen technology, so that is to be expected, along with the risk of things not really working correctly. Or, perhaps, I should get a maxed out MacBook Air.? So, basically, will a non-touchbar macbook pro, with the specs as above, fulfill my performance needs? Yes, I am aware it has 4 ports, but I think I'll manage with 2. I am not sure about a touchbar one because of the touch bar, which is a gimmick, might become annoying at some point and unreliable - physical buttons seem sturdier, it has shorter battery life and is more expensive. But is it really noticeable - and would it be noticeable with my needs(Lightroom, Chrome, Spotify, Photoshop at the same time)?
At first glance, touchbar one seems to be faster due to a processor and slightly better graphics. My question is whether to buy a non-touchbar model: 2.5GHz i7, 16GB RAM, 512 GB SSD, or a touchbar one: 3.5GHz i7, 16GB RAM, 512 GB SSD. I expect it not to freeze, crash or lag significantly. I tend to multitask, so I sometimes have Lightroom, Chrome, Spotify and rarely Photoshop running at the same time. I'll use it mainly for Lightroom and Photoshop, working with 24MP RAW (Nikon D5500 for now).
#PHOTOSHOP FOR MAC WITH TOCH BAR PRO#
I'm considering buying a 2017 macbook pro 13inch.
