So.......... I have a Macbook Pro 13' Mid-2012 (2.5 GHz Intel Core i5) so basically I've been using this laptop for 4+ years and I think an upgrade is acceptable.
Should I buy:
1. iMac - 21.5 inch ($1299)
2.8GHz quad‑core Intel Core i5
or
2. MacBook Pro w/ Touch Bar - 13 inch ($1799)
2.9GHz dual-core Intel Core i5?
Reason to buy:
My laptop is getting really laggy and I'm seeing the rainbow circle more often now. I work in the finance industry. Basically, my most used program is Microsoft Office.
But I do a side job as a Freelance Graphic Designer. I use Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign. A little use of Adobe After Effect and Final Cut Pro (rarely use this app but would love to have the option of having it in case I need to edit a video).
Which one should I buy?
Or should I just stick with my current laptop?
P.s. no matter which one I buy, I would still use my current laptop. The difference is that if I buy the iMac, my current laptop is obviously my To-Go laptop. If I buy the new MacBook Pro, the new one is the To-Go one for it is lighter.
