Time to upgrade my original rMBP...any suggestions?


ok have mid-2012 15" retina mbp, 1 of first models retina display. have older 13" air using school. not need 2 laptops i'm looking sell them both , pick 1 machine meet of needs.

use laptops basic school use including web browsing, word processing, , other basic applications. have big music , movie collection it's stored on external hard drives i'd need access/manage these files. not game @ on laptops i've been getting photography i'd ability edit photos taken on dslr. won't video editing i'd option beginner stuff on imovie. last thing use rmbp music recording/production, logic pro. according apple, programs i'm looking run require minimum of 4gb of ram i'm worried dual-core i5.

i've been carrying 13" air school because 15" rmbp bulky. 13" size fact there's no quad-core i7 option kind of scares me. old 2012 15"rmbp has 2.3 i7 quad-core, 8gb ram, 256gb ssd, , geforce 650m/intel hd 4000.

2015 13" rmbp meet needs? , feel of i'm concerned dual-core i5 might sluggish when running multiple apps.

share experience or feedback??
 

i think you're underestimating how powerful 13" rmbp chips , i'd argue quad core overkill workload. 13" rmbp more meets needs. larger ssd if you're interested in upgrading base model , save time spent dragging , other drives.
