Hello there.
So a bit back 5-6 months ago i bought a 2nd hand macbook pro mid 2013 i5 4GB ram laptop.
But it feels like i spent more on the apple's name branding and the professional metal aluminum casing instead of the actual guts of the laptop. The OS is awesome but with 4GB ram it hits 700MB RAM in seconds with JUST running Photoshop and more times than not even the OS can feel sluggish and not much faster than what windows 7 or a windows 8 machine would offer.
I do photography and filmmaking and VFX and graphics arts blah blah. and i'm looking for a good laptop. My question here is that would i get a faster still awesome laptop with £600-£700 with windows 8 that may not look as nice but the guts of the machine is MUCH faster and performance for general storing files and doing small editing and small photo editing and perhaps even ok gaming.
Any help
