8 GB of ram is sufficient on 2015 MBP 13.3 inches?

Hello

I'm looking to replace my mid-2010 17 "(8 GB) MacBook Pro.

I want to replace it with a model of retina of 13.3 inches.

I run a wide range of software. I suspect that most require a lot of resources is Adobe Photoshop CC and sometimes video editing on Adobe Premier. I use it mainly for web development, including web programming, and preparation of graphics for the web (Photoshop). I also do the publishing with InDesign (book publishing).

My question to those who have the knowledge and experience, I'll be fine with version 8 GB (even 3 to 5 years)?

I noticed that, at least that I buy directly from Apple (which I don't want to do) I can get 16 GB as a package that includes a faster processor and the biggest SSD (512GB), who all push the price up in way too high. I am otherwise very well with the specifications of the package of standard model 8GB / 256GB, as long as the 8 GB won't be a factor limiting significantly 3 years and more from now.

Any thoughts?

No one can give an authoritative, response which may or may not be required 3 + years from now.

How your current MBP 2010 manages the resources intensive applications?  The new MBP 2015 with the 8 GB of RAM should be much, much better.  If the 2010 is satisfactory, you should have no problem with the newer model.

If the scores of reference do not represent the real world use, this can give you some pointers as the relative performance, you can expect:

  • Thumbnails that use RAM in the first (2015.3)

    Hi, we had a problem with first (2015.3) using the RAM on PC. Whenever we display media thumbnails, first sucks all the RAM until Windows crashes (we can monitor it via Task Manager). This also happens when you link to the media and it consistent. The only work around we have found is to view the media as a list instead of thumbnails when linking to the media.  I put the max RAM for first allocation in the preferences of the memory, but it seems to make no difference. We run on Windows 10 with 16 GB of RAM installed? It's a strange question that seems to be going through all of our machines (which are still configured). Someone else has this problem? We suspect that this is a bug with the latest version of first? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    Please write a bug report on it, listing exactly the question & how it goes and of course that you encounter it on several machines in your office.

    It seems a stupid thing both because they do NOT meet the filing of reports, but... it's the only way to ensure you get the information that you experience a bug and what is the management team. It is in the application forms tabulated bug/feature that they decide to engineer time budgeting and priorities.

  • Replace the SSD 2015 MBP retina

    Purchased the base early 2015 retina MBP (was on a real budget) and I'm looking to replace the SSD with a larger SSD.  I read on various forums that this can be done, but that nobody makes compatible SSD yet... However, these positions have been since around about a year ago.  Has this changed?  Is it possible to buy an SSD and replace my existing and if so, where?  Can't seem to find anything on ifixit.com, I saw mentioned OWC.

    Thank you!

    Now, there is no replacement for the SSD for Macbook Pro retina 13 or 15 (2015) as Apple use a non-standard interface of its SSD.

    The most economical way to clean large SSDS such as 512 GB or 1 TB on the last Macbook pro is to customize your rMBP when you bought from Apple so far.

  • 2015 MBP glitchy text / graphics

    Hey people,

    I got a new me refurbed Mac Book Pro Tuesday and my problem is that sometimes, the text, for example in the search bar is glitching.

    There are parts of the letters missing and random pixels appearing - when I select the text the problem usually disappears.

    Web site sometimes show the graphic defects too.

    Now I'm a bit worried that this could be a hardware problem - someone else has experienced this?

    I took a screenshot to show what it looks like, it doesn't always happen but its a little boring and it worried me.

    I think this might be a software problem, given that diagnosis shows no errors, but I want to be sure

    You have 90 days free technical support, 1-year free repair and support 14 days after purchase to return. You can check the problem by (1) start in safe mode. Start with the SHIFT key down. See if the problem is still there. (2) a SMC reset.  https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT201295 (3) reset the pram. Command, Option, P, R keys and the power button for 3 chimes at startup. (4) to start Recovery (command + R to start) and reinstall. Your data are saved. This does not necessarily remove something. If you still have the problem, make an appointment at the genius bar in an apple store. If when in safe mode, there is no problem, you have an extension or an app that is causing the problem.

  • Can I use stock RAM since the mid-2012 MBP aluminium end-2008 MB?

    This is my first post so I apologize if it is not posted in the right place.

    I have a late 2008 aluminium MacBook (2.0 GHz) with 2 GB of RAM and a mid-2012 MacBook Pro (2.5 GHz) with 4 GB of RAM.

    I want to upgrade the RAM of these two laptops, but in the most effective way possible. I wanted to buy an upgrade to 8 GB for my Macbook Pro for mid-2012, then use 4 GB of this machine to upgrade my end-2008 aluminium MacBook.

    Is it possible to use the RAM from mid-2012 MacBook Pro aluminum end-2008 MacBook? Would be great, if so.

    Thank you!

    Nope, totally different form.

  • 2015 mbp has lost all power

    Plugged my iPod Classic 60 GB to try to synchronize with my iCloud library. ITunes has shown, but wouldn't a synchronization and then it wouldn't show it, so I restarted computer. IPod is connected and then the computer would not start. Not nothing behaves as if there is no power at all. The fact to unplug iPod did nothing. Any suggestions?

    Try resetting the SMC http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964

    It is the following:

    Stop the Mac.

    Plug the MagSafe or USB - C adapter to a power source and to your Mac.

    Use the built-in keyboard, press on and hold the shift-control-Option on the left side of the keyboard, then press the power button at the same time. Letting go at the same time. A very passive movement. It seems that nothing happened.

    Try resetting the NVRAM/PRAM http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379 memory

    It is the following:

    Stop your Mac.

    Locate and hold the following keys on the keyboard: command (⌘), Option, P, and R.

  • NB550d - Ram or Ram & OS upgrade?

    Hi - I had a netbook nb550d & generally fun but I would like to improve performance. Plans is just an upgrade to 2 GB ram & leaving with windows 7 edition starter or go to 4 GB ram & upgrading of windows 7 Edition family, but the latter would cost at least £70 more & I was wondering if it is worth. Seen also some comments re autonomy, reducing the latter but don't know why?

    I'm not bothered by the limits as office & have managed to overcome the problems of reading of DVD of W7starter but want the base system to run faster. Has anyone done one upgrade & there was a significant improvement?

    Separately if I upgrade the operating system do I need to reinstall the programs etc?

    Thank you

    I put t have this little netbook, but if you are satisfied with the BONE and so pre-installed OS is good enough for all your needs, in my opinion, upgrade of RAM is sufficient for you.
    It will definitely increase the performance of netbook s.

    In the case it will be good enough for you, you can upgrade the operating system.

  • How to increase Ram on Satellite L305d-S5934?

    I need more ram than I thought. / 3GB is not enough. Any advice on what to do?

    I'm running itunes/internet explore and it got a little slow

    Hello

    Hey Buddy, 3 GB of RAM are sufficient if you use common tools like itunes/internet explore.

    In addition, you must know that a 32-bit OS, no matter if it s Vista or Win XP will recognize WHAT 3.2 GB due to the limitation of the 32 bit OS.

    I think an upgrade of RAM of 4 GB of RAM is useful if you use the 64-bit Windows OS and if you play high-performance games

  • Why disable SuperFetch on ssd, if the RAM is much faster than the ssd?

    Directed by Microsoft that SuperFetch and PreFetch must be disabled, if the OS is installed on an ssd, in accordance with article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2727880. But SuperFetch is used for loading the data components of applications, which were very often used for RAM. Although the ssd is faster that a hard drive is not faster than the RAM. So, I do not understand why Microsoft suggest disabling this feature. The only reason why I want to understand, it's because of a limited RAM. If the RAM is sufficient beyond 6 GB, if we disable SuperFetch, then the boot time and increase the loading time of most used applications. I miss something here?

    The other question is about PreFetch. I feel, maybe wrong, it does the same thing with SuperFetch, with one major difference. It loads all the information data on the ssd or hard drive, instead of the RAM, in order to accelerate the launch of applications and time when the OS is installed on a hard drive to boot. If I'm right, let's disable the PreFetch it stores information for one ssd or hdd, while SuperFetch stores data of RAM information, which is much faster and so it must be enabled if there is a sufficient RAM.

    I look forward to reading the notice of a Microsoft software engineer.

    Hi Leventis,

    Prefetch copies frequently accessed files together into a contiguous on the disk area so that they can be located and loaded more quickly. That it takes a lot of old drives to recover data faster.

    SuperFetch predict what applications you run next and preload all the necessary data in the memory. She has also done that with startup files. And for all the three days he sends a defragmentation command to the OS drive that will cause problems in the SSD drives.

    In traditional hard drives (HDD) data are scattered throughout the disk, so that the operating system for access, it will take more time. It is suggested to perform a disk defragmentation. But storage technology is different in SSD, where, it records the data dynamically and it recovers more quickly. Who will be low down the burden on the RAM and the RAM can be used for uses such as for the opening of the games graphics high-end, etc..

    Hope this information is useful.

  • Running an application entirely in RAM?

    I installed 8 GB of RAM in my computer, and I want to run a 32-bit (or 64-bit) application on my win7 64 bit OS, cos the RAM is sufficient to run the application entirely in RAM, can I disable virtual and physical memory space directly using ram to execute the mapping application?

    The operating system will allow you to do a lot of crazy things.  This is one of them, but to repeat what Mike and I told you, it won't help and isn't something useful or productive to do.  It may cause your system to crash if memory gets overloaded and will NOT improve the performance of your application.

  • 2015 for CC Photoshop fonts Mac showing corrupt in the preview. Fonts are unusable.

    I put this first discussion in General Discussions of Photoshop, but one Member pointed me here, because it may be more appropriate?

    So, I use the latest version on a Mac with 16 GB of RAM etc. Photoshop 2015.0.1, Yosemite 10.10.5.

    I cleaned the fonts with font, same removal book a couple where they were marked as warnings and duplicates.

    Now everything on the system (Word, Pages etc.) reads the fonts correctly, except Photoshop, which seems to be seeing for most all the fonts on the system, but unable to handle some of them. The odd seem to be rating the music of Sibelius, and some Microsoft Word fonts and others I don't know. They appear in the list seen by his name, but there is no samples, or samples are broken, and selecting them has no effect. The part of the sample stands as a small box square - or an empty space or a rating of some sort, not even the Word sample.

    I've tried everything, even delete the caches and so forth, and then one other user tells me that, apparently, is that in Photoshop that this happens?

    These images are examples of this behavior. Note the last image only has not at all, not even broken those samples.

    Thanks for the tips

    Robert,

    These fonts are not damaged. They simply do not have support for A through z characters (or have some other forms in their place).

    For example, Gurmukhi MT regular is intended to be used with the Punjabi language and does not support the Western languages such as English.

  • Upgrade of RAM.

    I have a MacBook Pro of Mid 2010 S/N WQ * ATM currently on OS X El Capitan with a 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 installed.  Is it possible to improve it with 8 GB 1333 MHz?  My Mac will support this 100% or it causes a lot of mistakes in the coming years?  Please notify.  Thank you very much.

    v/r,

    Rey

    < personal information under the direction of the host >

    I strongly recommend against the use of RAM 1333 MHz in a MBP calling to 1067 MHz RAM. Macs are very sensitive to the RAM that is installed.
