[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1668053, member: 46727"] Yes, it's still a very good machine to buy and if you need a built in optical drive and wish to upgrade the machine yourself, then, that's the machine for you. However, you do need to realize that the graphics chipset is an older one (Intel HD 4000) but should suffice for most everything except perhaps games that demand a high frame rate. Also, according to the Mac Rumors site and other reliable sites, that machine will be discontinued this Fall when the new MacBook Pros are announced. And there is no indication that Apple will provide another non retina MacBook Pro to take its place. [/QUOTE]
