[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1608087, member: 56379"] Ok...very good now that we have a general idea of what you are looking for.:) Firstly...I think that any of the 13" MacBook Pro's would be fine for your computing tasks. If you still needed a cd/dvd drive...Apple is still selling a model with a cd/dvd drive. The $1099 model: [url=http://store.apple.com/us/buy-mac/macbook-pro]MacBook Pro - Buy MacBook Pro with Retina display - Apple Store (U.S.)[/url] Then you have the other three 13" retina MacBook Pro models (same webpage): [url=http://store.apple.com/us/buy-mac/macbook-pro]MacBook Pro - Buy MacBook Pro with Retina display - Apple Store (U.S.)[/url] The main differences between these is the speed of the processor, the amount of storage space, and of course the price. Keep in mind...with the 13" retina MacBook Pro models...you NEED to purchase it with the amount of ram & amount of storage space you will ever need (with this computer). Basically the ram & storage is not upgradeable after purchase. So you have four choices: - the lower end ($1099)...older 2012 model 13" MacBook Pro (no retina display) with the cd/dvd drive. - one of the three other 13" retina MacBook Pro models.
