MacBook Pro 13 or 15 inch?

Jay

Well I wanna buy a Macbook for Christmas and I wanna tell my parents exactly which one. 13 or 15
I do like the fact that the 13 inch is 2.9 GHz and its a i7 and the 15 inch is only 2.3 GHz but an i7 also. I don't really wanna get the retina display one because I didn't think it was worth it. But here are some stuff I like to do.

-Editing(Photoshop,After Effects)
-Browsing
-Watching videos
-Music
-Downloading music/videos
-Occasionally play games like COD

Hey bud. I would suggest the Macbook Air. The Macbook Pros (non-retina) use a standard HDD. The Air uses crazy fast flash storage, and you WILL notice the difference. Also, the 13 inch Pro is an embarrassing 1280x800 resolution, while the Air has a higher 1400x900 resolution.

The Air is a much better laptop than the Pro.

When you have flash storage, the 2.9 GHz vs 1.8 will NOT matter. The flash storage is crazy fast,

Photoshop on the standard 13 inch Macbook Pro?

I might be getting a Macbook Pro soon, which I'm really excited about! I've been wanting one, and now that I'm moving away from my family to study at a really good school they might be sending me with a new Macbook Pro! My laptop is all used out and I can't use it without it being plugged, and it's realllyyyy slow whenever I use big applications like Adobe Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 4. It's even slow on the internet sometimes, and I have to always run clean ups. This Macbook Pro will be a huge relief for me, I hope.

I'm thinking about getting the refurbished baseline Macbook Pro 13-inch. Like, the cheapest Macbook Pro 13 inch that I can buy. I use Adobe Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 4 daily. I just want to be able to run these applications smoothly and flawlessly. I often run Lightroom and Photoshop together at the same time, but sometimes it can be REALLYYYYYY slow.

My computer is a Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit HP Compaq Presario. It was only $400 when I got it about two years ago. But how much faster is this baseline Macbook Pro than your average $400 Windows PC?

I'm pretty sure getting this Macbook Pro isn't a bad idea because I'll only mainly be using it for daily Lightroom and Photoshop, and maybe video editing, and of course using the web. BUT, I'm not a Mac user so I don't know how much a Mac can take.

The cheapest MacBook Pro 13 inch, would run Adobe Photoshop and light room for fairly well, better than your HP. But the program should really tax it, I would look into getting a more recent version of the 13, and maybe even an older 15. The 2011 13, should do your programs flawlessly, with lightning speed. You really don't ever want to buy refurbished computer, a refurbished computer has been used, and that means it's lifespan is lower. It's processors, hard drive, graphics card, screen, keyboard, and everything else has been used a lot. It may be a better investment to give a new one. Refurbished computers may only last two years, if you're lucky it will last more, but since it's been used, there's no way to know. Macs are made with the highest quality computer products on the market, I would look into getting a new one rather than a refurbished one.
