[QUOTE="Rperez414, post: 1573844, member: 291147"] The non-retina MBP is using the Ivy Bridge processor. If you're ok with that than you might consider a 2012 retina MBP. Since you are a more casual user like me, you might be happy with a 13" retina MBP with a 512GB SSD. I got an I7/512GB model from ebay that was barely used for $1400. I have this model and I love it! It doesn't weigh much more than a Mac book Air. A big hard drive was more important to me than an extra hour or two of battery life which I'd never use. I suppose you're still out of luck on the 16gb of RAM but with the Mavericks upgrade I doubt you'd miss it for a long time. [/QUOTE]
