[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1608096"] I'm about to correct your terminology here -- not to be picky, but so in future there is less chance of misunderstanding. What you're calling "Flash Card" is actually known as flash (small f) or SSD storage (stands for solid state drive). "Memory" is only used to refer to RAM, "storage" is the correct term for disc space. As you may already be aware, SSD storage is small, but exceptionally fast; hard drive storage is cheap and large but slower.it sounds to me like you would be happier with more versus faster storage.you could have it both ways: get an SSD for the MacBook itself, then buy some external hard drives for your storage and backup needs. There is no guarantee that your six-year-old printer will continue to work: Canon does not update drivers indefinitely. It might work, or it might not. As noted earlier, the storage and RAM in a retina MacBook cannot be upgraded later, so if you go with a Retina, choose carefully. If you need a notebook that offers the ability to burn CDs and DVDs and can have its storage and RAMA upgraded later, then there is only one choice. Otherwise, you can select from the Retina models that suit you best. [/QUOTE]
