Hi everyone. I’m considering getting a new notebook, and this time I wanted to go to the 13 inch which serves me better from a mobility perspective. So far I’ve always prioritized getting a 15 inch to have better video card support. I mostly use Aperture (shoot RAW only) and very light audio and video editing (FCP X). Is it crazy to go to the 13 inch retina top of the line? Anyone has experience using this setup? Can I expect a low of spinning beach ball? Thanks for the advice. Martin.
I use a mid-2011 13-inch Macbook Air (with 256GB SSD and the higher memory option) on the move and it’s pretty zippy compared to my 8-GB 1-TB mid-2007 iMac. I wouldn’t have any qualms, but get some more data points!

I should have said, that’s using a D300s (12MB 14-bit). If you’re using a 24- or 36-MPx camera that might be another matter.

Thanks so much David. Sorry for the delay in my response, but even though I subscribed to this post I did not get a notification. I appreciate your help. Martin.
