2012 macbook pro 13 inch vs air 13 inch?
I need to pick between the 2012 macbook air 13 inch and the 2012 macbook pro 13 inch. I am a college student. Any ideas?
You should probably ask this in the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air forums. This is the forum for the discontinued white and black plastic MacBooks.

2012 Macbook pro 13 inch or the Macbook air 13inch?
I need to pick between the 2012 macbook air 13 inch and the 2012 macbook pro 13 inch. I am a college student. Any ideas?
I too had that decision to make when I bought my MBP 13 a month ago.
I liked the MB Air because of the portablity and the fact that it had a better screen resolution.
My deciding factor however, was the fact that the MB Air is not user upgradeable and I like the idea of having an optical drive just in case i need it.
If not having an optical drive is an issue to you, then the MB Air is perfect.
Keep in mind however, that if you decide to go with the MB Air, get the maximum RAM you can since you can not upgrade it in the future. Remember, as programs get upgraded, they become more memory hogs.
Just my .02 cents. -

your 13-inch Mid 2009 MacBook Pro requires 1066 MHz RAM, but you have 1333 MHz RAM installed. Try replacing the 1333 MHz RAM with 1066 MHz RAM — Macs can be picky about the RAM which they find acceptable. -
My MacBook Pro is a 15 inch Early 2011 Model i was using airplay for a long time and i could always turn it on from my status bar and now recently i cant seem to find it on my status bar and it says Apple TV is not connected

How do I get more memory for my Macbook Pro spring 2010 13-inch with 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. Apple says no memory currently available for that model. I have 4 GB memory and 3.99 used. Help!

Now I'm confused. This is the one Crucial told me to get:

Also what do you mean that actual memory is 16GB but with Apple it's 8?
When I go to the "About this Mac" it says Memory 4G 1067 MHz DDR3, then when I go to System Report it says
Memory Slot
Bank 0/ DIMM0 2G DDR3 1067 MHZ OK
Bank 1/ DIMM0 2G DDR3 1067 MHZ OK
Sorry I'm clueless. Just don't want to buy something that messes up my machine more than it already is.
The Crucial site appears to have recommended the correct spec 4gB RAM stick for your model. Please note that you will need to remove the existing sticks of RAM to install new, so you will need 2x4gB to get to 8gB.
When your model of computer was designed/built, it was tested with readily available 2x4gB (8gB). After release RAM retailers have tested it with higher amounts, and Apple didn't update their quoted specs. -
Macbook Pro retina display 13 inch 2014 model stopped charging. Charger LED also not on while plugged in. The battery fully drained off so the system can not be started but the system can detect the charger when earlier it was switched on before draining off the charge. Charger type magsafe 60W.
Once you have examined the power inlet on the computer for dirt, and made certain that the pins on the end of the MagSafe cord are free to move in and out to make contact, there is very little you can do yourself.
You will need to visit your Apple Store (FREE with appointment) or your Apple-Authorized Service Provider (policy varies). They work on these all the time and have good expertise and lots of spare parts to try to determine the problem. -
I am going to university this fall for engineering and I was wondering which macbook pro (13 or 15 inch) would be better. Is the larger screen worth the extra weight ? I will be doing some computer programming and I feel like reading code on a smaller screen could be a bit of a pain. Also, what is the best option in terms of backup? I don't anticipate having a lot of video but I will have some pictures, music files as well as regular documents and spreadsheets. I'd also like to get an idea of how good the battery life is. Thanks in advance:)
The 13" will do the trick for what you describe as your needs, Be sure to consider how you will backup your data -- need an external drive?
Also be sure to check with your college or division of study to see what they recommend. If they are hostile to Macs, you may be on your own for finding support. But in most major cities, that will not be too hard. -

Don't see the Macbook Pro Retina display 15 inch 2.6 Ghz i7 model
Macbook Pro Retina display 15 inch 2.6 Ghz i7 model - what happened to this model ? just brought this computer 4 months back and suddently this model disappeared? also the price on this one is equivalent to another higher model with 2.7 Ghz and 16 GB memory ?
Apple removed some Retina MacBooks Pro and started selling other ones with slightly better hardware last week. If you have this MacBook, you can continue using it because, although Apple has upgraded the hardware, changes aren't big compared to your MacBook Pro model

Macbook pro retina display 15 inch ram upgrade with apple care
hi,
I have a early 2013 Macbook Pro Retina Display 15 inch.
Doing some research, i do realized that RAMs are not upgradeable due to being embedded to motherboard.
I was hoping if there any chance to upgrade my RAM from 8 gb to 16 gb through Apple Care that i currently have.
I would love to hear back any feed backs on any possible way to upgrade your RAMS in MPR 15 inch.
thank you much!!!thumbmania,
It's impossible for anyone - Apple included - to upgrade the RAM on a Retina MacBook Pro. With those machines, you have to live with what you originally purchased.
Sorry,
