13" MBP with retina for Adobe Lightroom

[iMore Question]

Hello All,

I am planning to buy a 13" Mac Book Pro with retina. The basic model with 2.7 GHz i5 processors. I do photo editing with Adobe Lightroom but its only a hobby. So I use the lightroom 2-3 times per week. My photos aren't bigger than 18Mb each.

Will I be stressing the Mac Book Pro too much?
Unfortunately, I have no budget for the 15" model.

Buy an earlier model from Apple that is refurbish. Comes with warranty and save!

I use lightroom to edit my photos with a MacBook Pro Retina 13 inch and it works fine. No hiccups. These things can honestly handle a lot.

I use it on my '13 rMBP and it bogs down a lot, even with 16gig RAM. More than 2 tasks and it blows chunks.
