I have been a Windows person all my life but I am finding that my use for Windows is diminishing as I no longer game but instead now just consume multimedia or word processing, light Photoshop, editing work, take my laptop to uni etc.
I find that no Windows 10 Laptop can really fulfill what I want in a laptop other than the Razer Blade Stealth Kaby Lake, however it hasn't even been released in my country.
My current system is a Hp Omen with an i7, 16GB of ram, GTX860M and 256GB SSD. I do not game so the dedicated graphics won't be missed, the power of the i7 may be missed in video editing, but I hear Final Cut Pro works amazing even on low end hardware do to optimisation.
I find that when I am doing alot of multitasking my Windows ram usage can get up to 8-9GB. This is usually because I have a lot of chrome tabs open with a few programs running in the background ie skype, word, one note, powerpoint.
I was wondering If i was to purchase the new 2016 MBP would it be worthy to invest in 16GB of ram? I have no idea how optimised Mac OSX is for ram usage so I am unsure if windows ram usage will or will not directly correlate to ram usage on a MBP. I am leaning towards the purchase due to how good it is for multimedia consumption with the new screen, new speakers, amazing battery life and compact size.
Thanks
