Hello,
I just ordered my first Mac Book Pro. It is a 13 inch without retinal display, since I just wanted to keep the cost down and am using it for personal home use.
I got the following options on it:
13-inch MacBook Pro
$1,269.00
With the following configuration:
• 2.9GHz Dual-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz
• 8GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM — 2x4GB
• 1TB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm
• SuperDrive 8x (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
• Backlit Keyboard (English) & User's Guide
• Accessory Kit
I am feeling a little insecure because the CS person at the Apple Store told me I would be really unhappy with 8GB of RAM, he wanted me to buy the $2700.00 15 inch Mac Book Pro with Retina Display.
He said that 8GB of RAM would be outdated in a few years. My current Windows laptop only has 4GB of RAM and it seems fine, so I was thinking 8 should be good for awhile.
Did I make a mistake or will I be OK? Just wondering what the normal users of Mac Books think.
