[QUOTE="IvanLasston, post: 1440141, member: 145676"] I got corrected on this - you can upgrade the SSD - but I don't think it is any cheaper so I don't know what the benefit would be. [url=http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/15/owc-mercury-auro-pro-ssd-for-retina-mbp/]OWC offers 480GB SSD upgrade for Retina MacBook Pro, requires screwdriver and careful math -- Engadget[/url] OWC offers upgrades to the SSD of retina Macs. The retina is nice but you are paying a premium to have it. If you don't need all that resolution then I wouldn't get it. It is nice if you have a lot of windows open, or you like looking at large spreadsheets. With the engineering software I support I would like to have that many pixels as all my programs open a lot of windows - but I do my day to day computing on a MBA 11" or the New iPad. I do miss my 1920x1200 resolution on my 17" MBP - but not enough to carry it around with me anymore. [/QUOTE]
