Operating System: Yosemite
Exact Lightroom Version (Help menu > System Info): CC 2015.14 [ 1149743 ]
Ok. So I have an old 2011 Macbook Pro that runs just fine. 8Gb of RAM, 512Gb SSD, I5 (dual core I think). Maybe 300K images over the reasonable past (Not going back to the 70s yet).
Will this machine handle 1 big LR catalog? I currently have a catalog for each of the past 10 years, but I have areas of interest that span years. Can this machine handle a big LR catalog well?
What would you suggest? Use the SSD or get a huge external USB drive?
Do I need more memory? Or is lack of sex affecting my memory?
Any other hints and suggestions? I'm getting ready for 2018.
Thanks.
