Hello iMore!
For the last few weeks I've been debating the model and upgrades of the MacBook Pro that I plan on upgrading to. I'm a fairly active photographer, typically working with 20-30 mb RAW Camera files.
As of now, I'm looking at the 13" Touch Bar i5 2.9 GHz model with 16gb of RAM and 256 GB storage (I typically move all of my photos onto an external drive so storage isn't much of a concern). I've never worked with a MacBook before; is the 13" model sufficiently powerful for a good bit of work in Lightroom and Photoshop? Furthermore, is the upgrade to the i7 (dual-core) processor worth it? Finally, for those who have the touch bar model, how's your battery life? The reviews have got me concerned.
