Hello everyone,
I am about to graduate from college and I am planning to get a new macbookpro.
I am a film major, so as soon as I get out I'll be starting to look for jobs mainly as an editor and as a producer ( assistant supposedly).
Since I own a copy of Avid Media Composer 7, I was wondering if the Macbook retina 13 inch would be my best option.
I do not know how big the projects I'll be editing are going to be, and thinking that I am looking for some kind of portability, I was gonna go for a Macbook pro retina 13 inch with i7 processor.
The thing is that I don't wanna spend so much money for a machine that will not be able to handle projects in, let's say 1 year or 1 year and a half.
So the 13 inch i want would go for around 1700 with student discount. Otherwise my other option would be the 15inch with dedicated graphic card, but that is around 700 dollars more.
Would the 700 dollars be a good investment ? or should I save them for my future computer ?
thank you very much guys, I thought you would have better insights or experience with this kind of decisions.
I should get a decision soon, also, because my mbp late 2008 is so beat up that I can't even pull it away from the charger.
Thanks !
