[QUOTE="kelly0523, post: 1649526, member: 347618"] 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 He said that 8GB of RAM would be outdated in a few years.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. [/QUOTE]
