I want a MacBook pro I just do not know which one or witha external monitor or not. I do not want answers on computers That are not macs. I want a computer that will last me 4 years with school, some computer programming, and gaming. I will be playing civilization v, arkam city, assasins creed. Nfs, dragon age, Rome total war, etc. I like games. Should I get the new MacBook pro retina do I need it and for what I want should I get the 2.3 or 2.6 in the 15 inch. for what I want would It be better for the money to get the MacBook pro non retina 15 2.3 with a external display and stereos. Or should I just get the MacBook pro retina. Do I need the power and thinness of the retina. Please help. I like to do a lot on a computer I like it to be fast. If anyone has better options for combinations and the cheaper the better but the quality is the most important. Thank you.
