[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1651458, member: 234411"] Hi [B]Nancyspeed[/B] - I have a 2 y/o MBPro 13" retina w/ 256 GB SSD & 8 GB RAM - shown below is the current offering online - if I wanted to replace the laptop, the current cost is $1800 as configured - I would likely change those 'blue dots' on the Processor (3.1 GHz) & RAM (up to 16 GB) - my current SSD is about 68% filled (I have a LOT of music which I transferred to our iDevices) - I'd likely keep it at 512 GB (twice mine now) and save $500 - invest in Apple Care instead; now I'm only saying this based on your comments, do you really need a 1 TB SSD? But my 2 cents - you'll get many differing opinions. Also, consider portability, i.e. will this new machine be left mainly in your house or carry often outside the home, on planes, or trips? If so, size and weight are certainly an issue, and I would recommend the 13" screen. Good luck in your selection - Dave :) . [/QUOTE]
