Hi,
I'm looking to order a MacBook on Monday, however I'm having a dilemma on what to buy...
I have a high end custom built desktop for gaming with an SSD for windows and HDD for everything else, spotify for music and an external HDD for movies.
In September 2013 I'll be off to university for a computer science degree, where I may be required to install windows. I'm also concerned with the lack of retina ready apps but I love the thin design and the apps that DO work are BEAUTIFUL.
The two options are:
MacBook Non-Retina 15":
2.6 Ghz i7
8GB RAM that I'll upgrade to 16 myself
750 GB 7200RPM HDD
Anti Glare display
Or
MacBook Retina:
2.3 Ghz i7
16GB RAM
256GB SSD (I feel this may be too small despite where I said I store media in the above paragraph)
I REALLY don't want to shell out so much more for a 2.6 512GB retina. So what would you guys suggest.
