However, that problem was also resolved eventually with the updates.Īs I type this, I’m currently updating to the latest OSX i.e. Then I finally updated to Yosemite when it was launched and finally experienced sluggishness for the first time on my MBP. In fact, I even skipped the Mavericks update as I heard there were so many problems with it. When I purchased my MBP, it was running on Mountain Lion and it was so smooth (almost liquid smooth). I don’t recall Apple offering 7200RPM SATA HDD as an option and to correct your article, there is no 5200 RPM HDD in the market. I’ve the exact same model, my 13″ MBP specs are i7 2.9GHz, 750GB SATA 5400RPM and 8GB DDR3. No offense to any of you retina owners out there but with the limited memory/ram you pay top dollar for, it would really annoy me if I ran out of space, and nothing bothers me more than running out of space! Will upgrade to SSD drive and will max out ram at 16 when I am in the mood, but right now I just want to be sure to have this option down the road vs. The incoming 13 ( will be here tomorrow) may have a slightly lower resolution (I tried it in the store), but not enough for me to notice. I ordered another non-retina because i am sure they are going the way of the dinosaur after this year and I did not want to kick myself and miss an opportunity to buy into the last “great notebook” or perfectly good (exceptional) piece of engineering! My current is MORE than fast enough, screen pops (at least on my 15), and the heft is no big deal as I rarely need to transport it except to the library with my son. so I don’t have a pressing need for a model so high end. Flexibility! I don’t (probably never will) work in the “high intensity” world of photo editing, etc., etc. I have a Macbook Pro 15 (late 2011) non-retina and I just ordered the Macbook Pro 13-Mid 2012 (I7, 8gb ram, 750 from Apple refurb) for the exact same reason.
