I would've picked silver also... Looks much nicer than space gray, looks odd and unpolished...

Wish Apple would've come up with silver iDevices with black bezel on it...

easy, MAC can read NTFS formatted hard-drive natively so u can easily copy files to ur MAC. But MAC does not write on NTFS natively but can be done thru third party apps such as those paid one.

Alternatively, if ur hard-disk is formatted with exfat. MAC can read write no issues.

Buy the latest 8th gen, the extra core count is much better.

If you have the budjet, also try add in more ram (16gb), since you're using it for adobe and ps.

This would future proof your laptop much longer.
