[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1538349, member: 56379"] Yes there have been two releases of retina MBP's...and of course there is also the 13" model and the 15" model (parts are not always interchangeable). So there was not enough info provided earlier to give the best recommendations. Here's a link explaining things (basically very similar): [url=http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/macbook-pro-retina-display-faq/differences-between-macbook-pro-retina-display-13-inch-early-2013-late-2012.html]Differences Between 13” 2012 & 2013 Retina MacBook Pro @ EveryMac.com[/url] Back to the main question. It appears that the SSD's between the two computers in question are different: Mid 2011 13" MacBook Air SSD: [img]http://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/oWVUKqj3aCglyK5B.medium[/img] Late 2012 13" retina MacBook Pro SSD: [img]http://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/LbyL4wbx2LKNADgb.medium[/img] Bottom line...they don't look swappable. - Nick [/QUOTE]
