Diff between retina vs non retina macbook pro?
I've just bought a non retina macbook pro but I need to know if there is a major difference between the two MacBooks? I bought the 13 inch 500GB HDD, 4GB of rams late 2014 non retina. and was comparing with the retina 128 SSD 8GB rams. but settled on the non retina cause its adjustable and with higher Hard drive. but still I'm having my doubt
When will Apple phase out all non-retina Macbook Pros?
I would say within the next two years, maybe even within the next year, but my scenario is quite different from Jonathan Alexander Moore's.Right now, the Retina Macbook Pro's starting price is $1,699, while the regular MacBook Pro's starting price is $1,199. I think there is no way Apple will lower down the Retina series price down to the $1,200 bar. The Retina series is the high end line, and Apple certainly wants to keep it that way.However, remember that the MacBook Pro somehow cannibalized the former "MacBook" line (after all, the first unibody 13", non-MacBook Air, computers from Apple were called "MacBook"), and the MacBook Air shifted from being a pricey item to the entry level laptop from Apple.Consequently, I'd say that the Retina MacBook Pro line will stay where it is right now. Specs will be bumped on an annual/semi-annual basis to justify the high premium. On the other hand, the MacBook Air line will become more and more powerful while remaining at the same price points, and will cannibalize the current MacBook Pro line. The 13" MacBook Pro will be replaced by the 13" MacBook Air, while the 15" MacBook Pro will be history. Only the retina line will have a 15" display laptop.My $0.02.
Should I buy Macbook Pro non-retina?
A Macbook Air is much a better bet in my Opinion. Here's why :1. The Macbook Air has much better battery life : 12 Hours.2. Has 5th Gen Core i5 Processors vs 3rd Gen on the Old Pro.3. Faster RAM4. Much lighter and way more portable.5. Has PCIe based Flash storage which is very very fast.Pricing wise it's about 5k to 10k more costlier, a relative of mine recently bought one for 55k (13" 128GB SSD)I guess the loss of a DVD Drive and just 128GB of storage shouldn't hamper your usage as you just want to code.If this answer helped you, please take out the time to up vote and follow !
Will 128gb SSD MacBook Pro (retina) be enough?
I plan on buying a 13" MacBook Pro with retina display really soon. I thought it has the 500gb hard driver like the regular MBP, but it only has 128gb of SSD. I planned on using my MBP for web, light email, some HD video editing, storing pictures and videos, and light gaming like Minecraft. Would I be fine or should I got for the 256gb for an extra 200? :/ I really don't wanna spend the extra money, but if it's worth it I'll do it.
Macbook Air 2012 OR Macbook Pro 2011 Non Retina?
If you can, buy the Air 2012 and an external hard disk drive of 250GB -500GB or even 1000GB. I don't really like Macbooks because the battery is fairly poor (10H of batteries) The Air is good for Social, the Pro is more for Graphics and design. THe Air 2012 is good for people how are often on Social network. Just keep your power cable in case you miss battery. 128GB is good for music, pictures and small documents. Not for gaming or Design. Good luck!

Should I get a MacBook Pro (without retina) or MacBook Pro Retina in India?
Really your choice: the screen or the RAM, the portable or the CD drive. I'm quiet sure both the MacBooks run the same processors(of a different generation, though).Still, if I were in such a dilemma, I would buy the one with the Retina Display. The display and graphics are outstanding. The performance is up to the mark, even with the 4 gigs of RAM (though 8 would be better). But the main reason I would consider this is because of its portability. The older MPB is quiet large and heavy. The one with the Retina Display is more of an ultra book.Apple always adds latest tech to its newer models. Buy the MacBook Pro without Retina only if you need the extra CD drive or you are in heavy need of RAM at the moment. The best choice is to go for the latest MacBook Pro with Retina Display. In the next few years, if you require, add more RAM.
Will sims 3 slow down my new Apple MacBook pro retina screen?
I have installed sims 3 on my desktop and laptop HP and it has slowed them down. I'm not sure if it's because of origin or the game itself. Recently I got a MacBook pro 13 inch retina as a gift and im thinking about installing sims but I don't want to risk slowing down my laptop. I only had it for 2 months. I had to put away my desktop computer because of no space in my room and im selling my old laptop to my sister. I really do miss my sims 3 game though, I want to build stuff :)
Should I buy a MacBook Pro with or without the Retina display?
In virtually all ways—not just the screen, but also the weight, battery life, storage speed, RAM size, and CPU speed—the Retina is a much better computer than the non-retina Pro. If you're put off by the retina Pro's price tag, you should be looking at the Air line, which will at least match, and frequently exceed, the non-retina Pro's real-world performance while being smaller and lighter. (Don't be fooled by the lack of "Pro" in the name—a well-specced Air is a capable photo editing machine, although the retina Pro's display will show your photos in greater detail.)The non-retina MacBook Pro is best understood as a legacy model. It's for people who have a specific need for a technology that the more modern MacBooks have left behind, like the built-in DVD burner, the large-but-slow mechanical hard drive, or the FireWire or Ethernet ports. (Of course, you can plug a USB or Thunderbolt DVD burner, hard drive, or FireWire or Ethernet adapter into any MacBook, but if you use them all the time, you may find that inconvenient.) For almost any other use, one of the other models will work better.
Apple announced the new MacBook Pros in WWDC 2017. When will they be available in India?
Apple has already updated its India website. So, you should expect the latest models within a week (or maybe even less) in the stores.
