How well will Premier run on a MacBook Pro Retina i7 with only 8GB of RAM?

My niece wants to do some video editing using Premier and we were wondering if there would be a problem running it on a MacBook Pro with i7 and retina display with only 8GB of RAM? I know 16GB would be better but that is not an option at this point. She is not looking at really large projects.

I am running Vista Home Premium with 2GB RAM and 2ghz processor just fine. I used to run XP too prior to upgrading to Vista. XP undoubtedly flew with 2GB RAM however Vista runs smoothly as well.
As far as overheating is concerned, both XP and Vista run hotter than OSx and noticeably so. The thing to note is that Vista does not run any hotter than XP on my macbook pro.

    How do I set up my new Macbook Pro to associate with my Apple ID so I can download purchased music?
    Under 'Manage Devices' it only lists my iPhone and iMac. I've bought stuff on my new Macbook Pro using my Apple ID, but I can't find music I previously purchased using the iMac.

    Oh, wait, I've found it. Silly me!

  • 4GB memory on new MacBook Pro Retina 13 with 2.4GHz dual core i5 processor &128GB flash storage

    Hello,
       I'm completely new to the mac world but I'm fed up with pc's and all the insanity with processor problems, viruses, etc. I'm seriously looking at replacing my HP laptop with the new MacBook Pro Retina 13 with 2.4GHz dual core i5 processor, 4GB memory (RAM) & 128GB flash storage, OS X Mavericks (not sure which version). My concern is whether this will be reliably & consistantly fast & smooth both in desktop apps & internet use. I don't need it to do somersaults or anything too advanced. I would mostly be using Pages & spreadsheet apps & internet. It would double as my daughter's computer for cyber school so it's crucial that it runs quickly & efficiently. If she can't complete everything on time or log in to her online sessions because of a computer issue we'll be up a creek without a paddle since this particular cyber school's tech department is still working off of pc's running Windows XP. My father, thus far a pc user, thought I should consider moving up to 8GB memory but I was hoping that with flash storage being faster, I would be able to avoid the extra $100 for the upgrade to 8GB. My biggest fear is finding myself as frustrated & angry as I am now with all of my pc's, ready to take a sledge hammer to them because they take forever to boot, launch apps, internet or do just about anything (that is if they're even fuctioning at all- not joking). Does anyone have any advice or input?   Thanks!!
    P.s. On Apple's site I found a refurbished late 2013 model of the MacBook Pro Retina 13 with all of the same specs as listed above (4GB, not 8GB), running OS X (doesn't say which one) but for a bit less than a brand new one. Is this the same model as what they're currently selling new in their store or did they just upgrade everything to match what is being offered in the current "new" model? I realize this may be a dumb question but I can't seem to find anything online indicated that Apple has released a model newer than what was released late last year (October 2013, I believe), except that the model released then came with SSD storage instead of flash.

    No computer is fault free but Apple MBPs have a good track record.  In those cases where problems do arise, Apple has the best support in the industry.
    A MBP with 4 GB RAM with the SSD storage should be adequate for your needs.

    The latest MBP models came out in October 2013, so it will be the same, with the same warranty and telephone support.  The difference will be that the price will be less and it will be delivered in a plain white box.
    I have purchased three MBPs from the refurbished section.  I have never been able to detect any cosmetic differences and will go that route again.

  • Windows 7 professional 64 Bit on MacBook Pro Retina 15 with Boot Camp ?

    Hallo guys, i have a big problem with installing Windows 7 professional 64 Bit on my MacBook Pro Retina 15 with Boot Camp. No matter what i try i get a black screen after partitioning or get a message like " No bootable disk" or  " No System Disk availabe".
    My Mac has : OS X version 10.8.2, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB memory, 2.6 GHz Intel i7 and is only a week old
    My Boot Camp is version 5.0.1
    My Windows InstallingDVD is one year old now, i needed it to build a PC last year, hope that doesnt make a difference, its a full version, so not just for upgrading.
    From what i saw in the apple support it should work on my macbook. I hope someone can help me.
    Thanks in advance.

    Ok, problem solved. I looked a bit more here in the questions and there was the answer and its quite simple.
    Somehow an USB-stick makes problems while Windows wants to install, i dont know why. So i just made everything over DVDs and now everything works fine.

  • How much to replace SSD 512gb in Macbook Pro Retina in UK

    Hi everyone.
    I have a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2013) that has been crashing regularly. I ran Apple diagnostics and have a fault - 4hdd/11/4000000:sata(0,0). I recognise that I will have to replace the SSD, but sadly, it is out of warranty. I am planning to book an appointment with the Genius Bar in London, but before I go, I would very much like to know how much it will cost to replace the 512gb SSD in the UK.
    Any advice appreciated.
    John

    You may not have the problem that the AHT is reporting:
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203648
    Make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and have the condition of you MBP checked out properly.
