[QUOTE="RavingMac, post: 1546012, member: 45350"] I got it for $1599 (temporary price drop). Refurb from Apple would have cost me $1449 + $115.92 tax = $1564.92. So for ~$35 more I'm getting a brand new rather than refurb MBP. Why did I choose thus one over the retina version? 1) Saved almost $1000 2) Not a throwaway product 3) Has FireWire and Ethernet ports for those of us who still use them 4) With the saved cash I can setup a second hi-res (Thunderbolt possibly) display to use when I do photo editing. 5) Geekbench scores close to what Retina model has [/QUOTE]
