Hi guys and girls,
I've been pondering upgrading LR 6.14 to the subscription model (Classic CC 8.1 currently) for a while now. I only have a Macbook Air with 2C/4T and I'm wondering about the performance uplift. I've only seen benchmarks on higher end platforms on Pugetsystems.com, which don't apply to my system.
I'm currently generating previews and my CPU utilization is not going above 60% which is surprising considering I only have 2 "real" cores.
Unfortunately, I already used up my free demo of LR Classic CC about a year ago - before the performance update came out.
Any of you out there who did make the switch on a similarly low-specced system and can tell me if it's worth it? At some point in the next 1-2 years I'd upgrade my computer to 4-6 cores, but not now.
Thanks!
