Macbook pro 13 inch mid 2012 price upgrade#
The good part about the non-Retina MacBook Pro is that you can upgrade the hard drive and the RAM later on whereas on the MacBook Air and the Retina MBP the RAM and the hard drive are both soldered onto the logic board. The speed of SSD is incredibly fast, but it's about 3x more than the price of an HDD. If you're the kind of person who cares about the amount of space he/she has on their computer the MacBook with non-Retina is the way to go as both the MacBook Air and the Retina MacBook Pro uses SSD (or Solid-State Drive). I'd say that if you're not really crazy about having double the pixels on your computer screen, go for it. So, you might be thinking is the Non-Retina MacBook Pro still worth it? Well it's a hard decision, considering the fact that the 13-inch MacBook Air is only $100 less and the base model Retina display MacBook Pro is only a $100 dollars more.
