I currently own a mid-2015 MacBook Pro. I am considering trading it in for a 2019 iMac. I was wondering if I could get some advice as to what configuration I need. I've read about the different options but am wanting opinions from people who have a bit more experience than I. I would get the 21.5-in with retina 4K display. A little about me: I use my laptop for normal things--banking, surfing, a few documents, and photo editing--no gaming or anything that would require hard use of certain elements. I do store a lot of photos on my MacBook as I have a cooking blog.
Processor: I've read that the i7 processor is only about 10% faster than the i5. Even though my current Macbook has the i7, I think I would be fine with the i5. What do you think?
Memory: My current Macbook has 16GB. Would I be okay with the base option of 8GB?
Graphics: Would I be okay with the base option of the Pro 560x? I'm assuming so, since I don't game.
Storage: My current Macbook has 251gb of storage, and I still have 193fb available, so I think I would be fine with the base of 256gb. Yes?
Magic Mouse or Trackpad? I'm obviously used to the Trackpad but grew up on a mouse. Is one better than the other for ease of use?
Any other advice?
Thank you for all replies!
