[QUOTE="BWilliams, post: 1558333, member: 170278"] As the subject line states, I'm having a hard time making up my mind on whether to keep my Early 2011 MBP or upgrade to Late 2013 MBP. I recently changed out the internal HD to the Samsung 840 EVO 1TB and which is lightning fast and did the dual drive conversion with the Seagate 1TB hybrid drive. I have 16GB of memory now also. The processor is the 2.2 i7. I'm looking at the 2.6GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.8GHz with the 1TB PCIe-based Flash Storage. The Retina display is not that big of a deal as I dock my MBP 95% of the time to (2) Thunderbolt displays at my office. I'm hoping to get $1,200 - $1,500 for my current MBP as it sits, which would allow me to upgrade for $1,500 or so. What are your thoughts? Does it make any sense? Am I going to see a noticeable difference in speed between the two setups? Happy Holidays! [/QUOTE]
