rMBP?

Anyone use a retina macbook pro for LightRoom editing?

I really want an iMac but my space is extremely limited. I only do some minor lightroom editing and no photoshop work. Would I be able to get by with a 13" or would I regret such a small screen? I used an 11" air for awhile and didn't feel too limited. Photography is just a hobby for me and not a profession so I don't need a huge desktop screen. This laptop would be for general usage too and not just photography. The screen is amazing. I saw it in person for the first time yesterday and was blown away.

I don't use Lightroom, but yes.. the rMBP is amazing for photography.

In fact, once I got one (fully decked out 15"), I realized how much crap I had in some shots and I am most likely going to be re-processing all of my images in prep for displaying larger, higher quality shots online.

I use my rMBP and LR all the time. But a great 15" screen is not a substitute for a good calibrated 27" monitor, such as ATD for detailed photo editing.

I have a 15" rMBP, but I still prefer editing on my 27" iMac. I just feel too cramped the on the 15", even with the higher resolution.

I would hate to do much work on a 13" screen.. I struggle with my 15" rMBP. I'm hoping for a 27" retina display in the near future....

I like my 15" rMBP when set to 1920x1200, but a larger monitor would be nice. But in terms of portability and performance with an incredible display, it can't be beat. I carry mine around every day and love that I can sit down where ever I want an spend a few hours editing photos without worrying about running out of battery. It is an incredible computer, but if you are just going to leave it on a desk, don't bother. Buy an iMac.

I feel the same about mine. Love it.

I want one. Need to play the lottery more often.

My brother has the rMBP an he just got lightroom on it and editing is not too bad on the 13" but maybe because I have been doing it on a 14". I would suggest 15" though.
