[QUOTE="Elmzeh, post: 1482417, member: 288156"] Thanks for the responses so far guys; I was initially considering the MacBook Pro without the Retina Display which from what I gather can be repaired and upgraded 10x easier however the base specs don't seem to match up to the Retina. From the reviews that I've read and seen it states that if you get both a MacBook Pro and MacBook Pro Retina with almost identical specs that the Retina will come out on top in terms of general performance and especially gaming. Is there any truth in this? The size of the machine doesn't bother me too much and it would be nice to have the Optical Drive as part of the machine instead of having to buy it additionally but I just want to make sure I get my first MacBook purchase right the 1st time around :) Do any of you guys game with the Retina / Original MacBook?
