- Mid-2012 MBP 2.9GHz i7, 16GB RAM, 256 GB SSD not retina xD
A couple months ago I was in the market for a laptop to go through college with. PC's where not an option, and I was exclusively considering only Apple products. I new that I needed something with a lot of power, so the MacBook Air, was out of the equation. I came to the conclusion that I was going to get either a MacBook Pro, or the MBP with Retina.
I did my research, and found out that the Retina still had problems with ghosting, aka screen burn-in reduction... i think thats what it is called.
I new that I wanted a SSD and a good amount of RAM, but I wasn't going to drop that chunk of change on a MBPR with a possibly defective screen...
So I got a regular i5 13" MBP with 8gb RAM, and 128gb SSD. It has the same everything as the retina counter-part, except for the screen obviously.... + The standard MBP has a disk drive. However the standard MBP does not have a HDMI port, which is the only thing that angers me, because an adapter needs to be purchased. Overall I think I made the right choice.
My question is, for you people out there that have any Retina MBP's, are/have you guys have any problems with your computers, not only concerning the screen, but things like heat, and reliability? And do you miss not having a disk drive?
-Thanks
