So anyway my debate is between the 13" Pro or the 13" Pro with Retina Display. It seems the retina display does not have a built in DVD/CD player. Which I think I could live with. I really don't use it THAT much and could buy one separately. The retina screen really seems amazing. But I dunno, I might just go with the regular Pro which has one, and it also has a hard drive whereas the new computers have flash drive.
I need to research the main differences and which one is better still. I am just looking for a lot of space. I want to be able to keep a lot of my videos and pics on my actual computer. My current computer is super small harddrive. I bought the lowest of the low 5yrs ago because I just wanted a macbook like NOW and couldn't wait to save up more money for a bigger one lol.
I wouldn't personally get an Air unless you were just surfing the internet and checking e-mail type thing. But I did hear the battery life is fantastic on it. It just seems so breakable to me. |
I have read that the ones with retina display cant be upgraded, but I have never upgraded my other laptops, so no biggie there. And, since I am so used to a hard drive and since the retina has a flash drive I am torn on if I really care. I want a hard drive only because that is all I have ever had.
However, my ipad has retina display and I got it because I saw a difference between one with and without retina display and the pic/images were sharper with the retina. My other issue is deciding between anti glare or glossy screen.
My dad is retired from computer programming and he suggested the mac pro 13 inch since I do absolutely nothing except browse the internet, download music and sometimes put together word documents.
And yes, I want it NOW, too. Lol
