Hi there,
I'm new to the forum ; this is my first post.
I'm french, I live (work) in NYC, and I take pictures all the time.
My camera is a Ricoh GXR. I use it essentially with the A12 28mm module and I love this combo !
I need to get some advice from lightroom users on mac book pro.
As the mini doesn't seem to come, I decided to go for a mbp 13.
I will use this computer for my work, basically word processing, email, internet browsing, but also to process/sort my pictures with lightroom (raw files, approx. 20mb).
Here's how's I work :
My question is about the choice of the CPU.
I know that word processing, browsing is not a problem for the i5
Would the i7 be a nice ugrade (as I already have the SSD) for picture processing (I already noticed some slowlyness when working on my wife's i5 iMac) ?
Thanks to you all in advance for your help.
Vincent.

Here's how's I work :
at home, with a external 23" display ;
outside, where the size factor of the 13" is a key.
I also have a 128mb crucialM4 SSD that I would like to use, instead of the stock HD (possible ? not possible ? how to transfer the new system on it ?) and use the stock HD as a back-up in a usb3 bed.outside, where the size factor of the 13" is a key.
