[QUOTE="rfomlover, post: 1608800, member: 140583"] Hey guys, I have a mid-2012 13" 2.9 i7 8GB RAM 750GB mbp. I saw that apple recently updated the whole mbp line. The $1300 retina one seems worth it to me now that they upped the RAM to 8GB standard. The ONLY issue I have with the retina one is the 128GB HD space. I know its SSD which is great but man 750 is nice. I find myself transferring data due to lack of space with my 750. Besides that, the thing I'm not so sure about is how different the dual core i5 is to do 2.9 dual core i7. Would I lose THAT much performance? I do game on my mac via bootcamp and steam for mac. It is my understanding that the Iris is more than a marginal upgrade from the 4000HD. I see people selling my laptop for around $1100 so I wouldn't mind shelling out $200 to have 2 very useful thunderbolt ports and an HDMI out. I hate that I am stuck with only one external monitor unless I want a USB video adapter. What do you guys think about all of this? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
