Hey guys i am despritly in need of a new computer, i need a good one which i can use for editing, i am particulary interested in a MacBook Pro but i have not made my decision yet.

My Budget is around 1,250 which is around $1,800.


PS: When i ran After Effects on my previous sony vaio it lagged crazy(i only had: Skype, Chrome and AAE running) and i userally got the Not Responding error.

Was this because of the processing speed or was it the ram.. PLEASE ANSWER

I can't give you an explanation of why there was "lagging" with AE on your old PC because I don't have many details and it could be many different things.

I'd suggest a Macbook Air or 13" Retina Macbook Pro, depending on your budget. There are no better all-around laptops at their price points. If you do decide to go with the Retina model, I'd suggest waiting until the line is refreshed to include Haswell CPUs.
