Anyone else having extra long delivery time for the late 2013 macbook pro 15" 2.6ghz 1tb model?

Anyone else having extra long delivery time for the late 2013 macbook pro 15" 2.6ghz 1tb model?
As of today feb 15 i have been waiting for 78 days. Finland doesn't have an official apple store (only authorized resellers) It was my mistake because i should have bought from apple.com. But i think 2.5 months is too long and i have no information about when i can get it..

The low-end 15” rMBP with a 8 GB or RAM and a 256 GB SSD costs $2,000. 
The low-end 15” rMBP with a 8 GB or RAM and a 512 GB SSD costs $2,300. 
With 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD it costs $2,500.
The high-end 15” rMBP with a 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD costs $2,600.
All cost $500 dollars more with a 1 TB SSD.
So the SSD size is not a differentiating factor unless you prefer 256 GB.
If you think you need 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD then you might as well spend the extra $100 for the high-end model.
The high-end model will make a difference on gaming and graphics-oriented applications.
They tend to run other applications at about the same speed.
Both models are rated with 8 hours of battery life.
Benchmarks on PhotoShop comparing memory sizes:  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5659174?tstart=30
The speed was about 10% different between 8 GB and 16 GB models.
On other applications your mileage may vary.
Application benchmarks:
http://www.macworld.com/article/2059215/15-inch-retina-macbook-pro-review-a-tale -of-two-laptops.html
The low-end and high-end performed the about the same on non-graphics oriented applications.
Graphics oriented benchmarks:
On the Cinebench OpenGL benchmark the high-end was about twice as fast.
On the Unigine Heaven Benchmark benchmark they ran at about the same speed.
On the Unigine Valley Benchmark benchmark the high-end was about 1.5x as fast.

  • I need a recommendation for a 24" monitor for my late 2013 MacBook Pro

    I need a recommendation for a 24" professional photography monitor for my late 2013 MacBook Pro.  I am looking for a monitor that plays well with my 13" late 2013 Macbook pro.  I tryed the Dell U2413 and found after the fact that it did not work well with my Macbook pro.  Read up on the Asus PA 249Q, It also seems to have problems with my Macbook Pro.  Apple display is larger than i want.  Looking for recommendations for compatable IPS monitor for use with Aperture. buget is $300 to $800.
    Anybody happy with thiers?
    MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9), Aperture 3.5.1

    Any monitor will work. Decide what specs work best for your needs and get that monitor.

  • I have the late 2013 Macbook Pro 15 inch with apple care, and the display flickers in a certain spot at a certain brightness. Has anyone ever had this issue, and what did you do about it?

    I doubt this is a GPU issue i've restarted my Mac, but the shape of the flickering area is in a cone shape comming from the bottom edge from the right side in about 2 inches. I'm thinking this is a failing display?

    Apple will cover it if it was an accident or defect. Take it to a nearby Genius bar. I'm guessing its a graphics card or display issue. But the symptoms of a damaged GPU for me were different. I had issues with my last 13" MacBook Pro non-retina mid 2012. If I set it down or moved my machine, my screen would flicker and the pixels would be completely off and the whole system would freeze, even if I wasn't using it. If it fronze when I didn't use it, it would get REALLY hot. Like I said, if it's an accident and less than a year old, Apple will cover repairs. If it's older than a year and it was accidental, AppleCare won't cover it. If it was a defect, it will be covered as long as the AppleCare hasn't expired. If you buy a MacBook through BestBuy, you could buy BestBuy Care which covers accidental and defects. My friend fried his last machine with water and apple was going to charge him the price of a new machine and BestBuy charged about $900 and then he paid extra to upgrade to a new retina display.

    Look in Activity Monitor (Applications - Utilities - Activity Monitor) and see if you have any runaway processes using a lot of %CPU.
    I would also strongly recommend running Apple Hardware Test in Extended Mode. If it reports errors you can Google them or post them here.

  • Anyone else having issues with location services since the 7.1 update? Ever since I updated i've been seeing the location services on my status bar at all times.

    Anyone else having issues with location services since the 7.1 update? Ever since I updated i’ve been seeing the location services icon on my status bar at all times. I noticed that google was the app that was using it a lot, but after I turned the feature off for google my phone started using the “traffic”, “frequent locations” and “cell network search”. When I turn the feature off for all of those things it’s no longer a problem. So just wondering if anyone else is having this issue or if anyone has a solution?

    The "solution" is probably to increase your knowledge.  You've done good things.  Perhaps this article will educate you a bit more about location services.
    Basically, they can be very useful, but can cause a lot of iPhone use.  A major example is "Remind me to ... when I leave home."

    problem with updated find my iPhone (FMi) app: when I attempt to open the FMi app, it tells me that I need to be a registered developer and run iOS7 to do so; is anyone else having this problem?  I got the app as a regular update to my existing FMi app which worked great.

    The problem is being reported in the news media, yes. Apparently someone at Apple jumped the gun and uploaded the update before it was ready. They'll probably issue another update shortly, I would expect, but you can go here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store. If you have a backup copy of the older version of the app, remove the newer version, restore the old version to iTunes on your computer, and resync.
    Update: Well, that was certainly quick. As of a short time ago, various sites are reporting that the Find My iPhone app is no longer displaying the previous error message. If it still is for you, delete it from your iPhone and re-download from the iTunes Store.
    Regards.

  • I just bought my phone few days ago. From the day I bought it I realized the phone heats up after a little use. It gets really hot while using Wifi and downloading. Anyone else having these issues? What's the solution to this?

    Your VGA is definitely corrupted and it is irreparable, so just make the HP to change your vga.
    Also next time read my post on how to keep your laptop cool to avoid same issues again.
    I assume your laptop was pretty hot during some time and that's the result you've got.
    Make it easier for other people to find solutions, by marking my answer with 'Accept as Solution', if it solves your problem.

  • Anyone else having trouble with FCPX crashing after the OSX update?

    Anyone else having trouble with FCPX crashing after the OSX update? It NEVER crashed until the update. The night before last it crashed 20 times in 45 minutes. I can't finish my project because of it.

    I don't understand the question. I am simply editing.
    There are some patterns of crashes that suggest possible causes and fixes; some users report crashes when FCPX is in the process of loading; others while importing/exporting, etc. Asking to narrow the list of possibilities.
    Suggest starting with three things:
    1) Update the software from the APp Store  if need be.
    2) Trash preferences.
    3) Repair permissions.

  • Is anyone else having issues with their mail , where the reply from the person you just contacted contains very old emails from a different contact ?

    Is anyone else having issues with their mail , where the reply from the person you just contacted contains very old emails from a different contact ?

    I mean that I sent an email to a contact of mine yesterday. His reply contained a stream of very old emails I had received in 2009 from a totally different contact all together !! The reply email was in my inbox as being from the original person I sent the email to. This is starting to happen more regularly now , so is a problem !

  • Is there a compatibility guide for SSDs in the late 2011 macbook pro model?

    Is there a compatibility guide for SSDs in the late 2011 macbook pro model? I'm looking to purchase a 15.4" Late 2011 Macbook pro and was looking a SATA3 SSD that was supported (outside of the ones provided by Apple). Does anyone have any success stories they wish to share? I assume the problem with secondary bay and SATA3 has still not been resolved.

    Have you looked at the OWC web site?  They specialize in Mac peripherals and they have a good line of SSDs and secondary bays as well.  My experience with them has been good but I am not ready for SSDs.  For my needs the cost/benefits are not there.
    Ciao.

  • I'm in need of a rubberized case for a late 2007 macbook pro 15.4 silver keys help please

    please help me out I'm in need of a rubberized case for a late 2007 macbook pro 15.4 (silver keys) cd in front.  Please help me out.  here is my personal email: *****@gmail.com I also have just purchased a 2006 macbook pro 17 inch and would like a case for that one too if anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it.

    John, please refrain from posting your personal email in these threads.  It is not necesary and all communication to you can be done directly in these forums.  Posting your email address can open up you to tons of unwanted spam, among other things.  Really all you can do is search the internet for them.  My suggestion would be to google "case for late 2007 macbook pro".
    One will probably be very hard to find for a 6 year old model as it is on the borderline of being considered "vintage".  Ebay may be a good place to try too.

  • A sleeve exclusively designed for the retina 15" macbook pro?

    I want to buy a sleeve for my 15" retina macbook pro, but i realize that there are a lot of sellers that advertise their prodcuts as "made for retina" but in reality they were made for the classic macbook pro, so they fit loose , baggy... can you recommend a good sleeve specifically designed for the 15" retina macbook pro? I would like one with a pocket for the charger, so far these two are my choices:
    Booq Mamba Sleeve 15 http://www.booqbags.com/us/sleeves/mamba-sleeve/MSL11-GRY
    Incase Neopreno Pro Sleeve http://store.apple.com/us/product/HA175ZM/A/incase-15-neoprene-pro-sleeve-for-ma cbook-pro-with-retina-display?fnode=50

    I am also looking for such a case. I find that since the Retina is smaller/thinner -- every case I try the laptop is swimming around inside. I also feel like the laptop itself is less bulky so I'd like a case that takes advantage of our ability to be more sleek and small while traveling.
    Have you had any luck finding a case?
