    8Go or 16 Go for a new Macbook Pro 13" ?

    Hi there, I am wondering which is the best, assuming I am using Lightroom, Photoshop. I use 22, 24 and 36,4 Mpx cameras, shooting in raw. These new macbook can't have memory upgrade, so my guess is 16 Go for the future... If you have any ideas about that, tell me please. Stephane.
