4GB goes a bit further in Mac than in Windows in my experience, but if you have a lot of tabs open, esp in endless webpages like Pinterest, 9gag etc. you'll definitely feel slowed down if you have 4GB. I'd go for 8GB.

Intel i5-4690K @ 3.8GHz || Gigabyte Z97X-SLI || 8GB G.Skill Ripjaws X 1600MHz || Asus GTX 760 2GB @ 1150 / 6400 || 128GB A-Data SX900 + 1TB Toshiba 7200RPM || Corsair RM650 || Fractal 3500W

The computers we have at the school have 4GB of DDR2 memory @600MHz. It really chokes up with about 10 tabs open. 8GB sounds like the way to go!

My BattleBox Specs: Intel i7-4770K @ 4.2GHz, ASUS Maximus VI Hero, 16GB 1600MHz Corsair Vengeance Memory, Gigabyte GeForce GTX 760, Corsair C70, Razer Blackwidow Ultimate 2013, Intel 330 Series 180GB & Samsung 840 Series 120GB, 3TB WD Green, 2TB Seagate Barracuda, Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO.

The PC I'm on now has 4GB of DDR2-667MHz haha... it's definitely noticeable when you're running a bunch of things at once or have a ton of tabs open. It's not a problem for just video editing, just gaming etc... it's just when you try to do multiple things at once

lol no 
if you can't afford at least 8 gb for photoshop then go buy a windows laptop 
i work with photoshop every day and 4 gb will feel like running windows vista with 2 gb .I have 8 gb and it feels a little (im saving now for a xeon and 16 or 32 gb of ram)

trust me if you are gonna use the laptop for more than just a bit of learning the basics you will need way more ram

It makes the most it can out of 4gb with OSX's memory compression, and a fast PCI-E ssd. However if you are doing stuff like video editing/photoshop/programming I'd definitely recommend 8gb.
