[QUOTE="anynamewilldo, post: 1484474, member: 263577"] I second this opinion, for the same reasons. I bought my MBP 13" in July, knowing full well they would come out with a Retina version before the end of the year. I had already made up my mind that Retina is a scam. Add in the component architecture and cost and it became a no-brainer for me. FWIW, I upgraded the memory to 16GB, replaced the stock HD with a 480GB SSD, replaced the optical drive with the stock hard drive, and replaced the screen with a non-mirrored version, all before turning the thing on. Can't really do that with the Retina machines. [/QUOTE]
