My MacBook Pro (15" Retina, 16GB memory, 750GB SSD) is my main computer. I have LR5.6 and Adobe Creative Suite 6 installed in it. This is my 3rd MacBook Pro in 8 years. I also run Windows 7 in the MacBook Pro (under VM Ware) and run the Windows version of LR and CS 6 in it.

When I'm in my office, it's attached to a Dell U2713 Ultrasharp Monitor via the thunderbolt port (the monitor is the last in the daisy-chain - the other 3 devices are a pair of 2 TB LaCie Drives and a Belkin Thunderbolt hub.) fyi, the Dell monitor has a Minidisplay port (as well as a regular display port) but Thunderbolt is plug compatible with MiniDisplay port if the MiniDisplay port device is at the end of the thunderbolt chain!

I do a lot of product photography with this setup - and shoots tether with LR.

Not all that thrilled with my MBP lately - sine Mavericks, it has been extremely slow at previewing images, especially raw files. Now they're cancelling Aperture; hopefully they offer a cheap upgrade path to the replacement software. (Though, admittedly, Aperture is getting a bit rough on the edges.)

I'm starting to consider whether I should install Linux on it. Unfortunately the raw photo handling in Linux isn't exactly sweet either...it's getting better but still rather clunky sometimes. And I miss Aperture's "auto adjust" feature for photos.

Adobe did provide a plug-in for migrating Aperture/iPhoto libraries to LightRoom. I've loaded the plug-in but haven't started migrating libraries yet.

I don't even care about the libraries; I don't really use them. It's not a migration question - I could change software tomorrow. I just don't want to spend the money, after buying Aperture not all that long ago.

I have a 13" mid 2014 rMBP with 8gb/256gb ssd and if you install the Adobe Creative Cloud you can try any Adobe CC program for 30 days free. That way you can see if you think it's worth the $10 month to keep Lightroom and Photoshop
