Of more interest is the suitability of the display for critical editing. I don't know about the Retina models, but laptops are notorious for exhibiting lack of uniformity and changes with viewing angle. However, laptops are superbly suited to light editing on the road and to tethered shooting and the like. So long as you're not expecting to use the laptop's built-in display for critical work, they're wonderful tools. The rest of the specs may be overkill for "office work and some photo editing." If you've got the dosh, of course, go for it; better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. But if you're on a budget, you might consider what else you can spend your money on than that much RAM and CPU. Maybe a new lens for the camera you've had your eye on? That, of course, presupposes that you're sincere about not needing it for heavy editing. If it's standard tweaking of one-at-a-time photos without lots of layering in Photoshop or panoramas or other sorts of intensive operations, you'd probably be happy with half the computer. If you _do_ need to do serious editing, you might not be happy even with what you're planning on getting.... b&
