[QUOTE="Scott_, post: 1424580, member: 257655"] If you do a lot of graphic things, I.e photo video editing playing games. You'll notice a huge diff between the 512mb graphics card vs the 1gb. It really depends what your doing.. That was problem. I was going get the non retina base model for 1799. Then decided I needed the full 1gb dedicated graphics card. So I ordered a mbp 15 non retina 2.6 model for 2199 then exchanged it for a mbp retina base model. Been great, load times are 5x times. And it's a pound thinner it's great. However if your not graphic intense user 512mb should work well. [/QUOTE]
