Buying macbook pro retina in two weeks

I am considering to buy the macbook pro retina 15 inch with 16 gigs of ram in two weeks. I am just not sure if i should wait for the new line of macbook pro's to come out in fall or not. I know they have haswell processor's but as far as i am concerned they are giving one better batterylife but the speed is not improving so much. And i guess the gpu is going to get upgraded too but i dont know how important that will be?
I hope you guys can help me out with me choosing wisely (:
greetings

If you have a need for a MBP now, purchase it.  Only Apple knows what specifications a new model will have and when they will be offered for sale.  Anything you hear or read are pure guesses.  If you can wait do so but you will not know for how long it will be.
If you cannot decide what to do, you may employ a decision making tool, such as a coin and toss it in the air. 
Ciao.

  • Hi everybody , i want to buy macbook pro retina but i wonder if he make noise or get hot ?

    hi everybody , i want to buy macbook pro retina but i wonder if he make noise or get hot ? i don't use game or heavy program.

    The only 'noise maker on a retina MBP are the fans.  The will speed up if there is a need to dissipate heat.
    The MBP will become hot if CPU/GPU intensive applications are in use.  That is expected and normal.

  • Need Suggestion on buying macbook pro retina display

    No macbook pro retina is announced at WWDC. I want to buy one so I need suggestion, Should I wait or buy the existing one?

    There will always be replacements coming for what you buy now. If you need it, buy it. I did and still can't believe how great it is.

  • Wait to buy macbook pro retina 15"

    Does anyone know if the LG displays on retina are still used on the newest macbook pro's order via apple site? I feel that these issues along with the fact that they dont have the Haswell gen processors seems that spending 2k plus dollar or even 3k would be an unwise move by anyone. If anyone has ordered a newest macbook pro retina from apple please let me know.

    I've noticed many improvements in the retina display. People say that brightness is lower, I say not. People say it looks pixelated, I say not. See these screenshots I took (bottom = retina).

    Macbook pro without retina display heats up more.
    The New retina models have the a-symetrical fans which allows quieter noise and runs cooler

  • Just bought a macbook pro retina 15in 6 weeks ago after asking if there would be an update soon (which they said no) and now they have upgraded it!!

    Am furious that I have wasted my money $2100 - I would have waited just over a month if I had known - is there any comeback - will apple upgrade my macbook?

    You can always ask but I'm betting that Apple won't replace the machine. The speed increase was modest, so I wouldn't worry too much about it anyway.

  • Should I buy a Macbook Pro Retina 13" now?

    Hello, I need to buy Macbook Pro retina 13" to school start. I have already bought a macbook pro retina because I got discount by my county, but I havent received it yet.  So, I chose the macbook pro retina, but I know it will come a better Retina soon. Haswell. But is it worth the wait? Okay, there will be more battery life, better performance for the GPU and CPU, but I already have a very good gaming machine that I use every day. Macbook pro retina will just be a second machine, and the gaming machine will come first. So is it worth to wait for haswell, or should I just be happy with Macbook Pro Retina?
    Thank you!

    We have no knowledge of what any new model may have or when it will be available. Plus speculation is disallowed in these boards, so you will not find that kind of satisfaction here.
    As for the incoming Mac you have already purchased, beware that if it is not a customized model you have 14 days upon receipt to return for refund. Since we do not know what your workflow and usage habits are, it is impossible to predict whether the Retina will make you happy on the long run.
    Personally, I would never buy any of the current crop of Retinas. In my view, they are expensive and fragile toys and my needs are much better fulfilled by a properly configured and customized regular model. But I am an old curmudgeon with many years of IT experience, managing a datacenter with over 30,000 users.

  • Macbook pro retina display wifi connection problem.

    Macbook pro Retina display - 3 weeks old - connects erratically to home wifi over Airport Express
    iphone and iMac connects to the same wifi network. I am connecting through iphone hot spot to write this question. please help.

    I have posted my solution  i.e. update airport utility software. Ocourse you needa working internet connection for that!
    I have a 27 inch imac, mac book pro, mac book pro with retina display, iphone 4, iphone 4s, 2 x iphone 5. Each device was showing erratic internet connections at some point in time or the other.
    I just updated Airport Utility Software. You can find it in Applications/Utilities. When you click on Airport utilities, it opens a window with 2 icons. The bottom icon will look like your airport express. click on that and then you will get info on the right. If , I repeat if, your Airport utility software requires updation, you will be prompted in the info box. Click that and then you will be fine.
    However, the irony is that you need an internet connection for this. I set up a hot spot on my phone and did it.

  • Sleep mode draining the battery (Macbook Pro Retina 13" Late 2013)

    Hi everybody,
    I have the following issue. I have the newest Macbook Pro Retina (late 2013) with 16gigs memory. When I put in is sleep mode then it drains the battery with between 6% and 20% in 8hours. Powernap is turned off, according the logs in Console it only wakes up sometimes for hibernating (it woke up for 3times from 10). So it goes to sleep every time I close the lid, nothing is using the CPU.
    Apple states it has to keep up in sleep mode without fully draining the batteries for 30days, so it should consume only 3,3% per day. We all know it can be more or less but, if you do some math you can easily figure out for example: 8% drain in every 8hours is 24% per day. So I could only keep it in sleep for four days (don't tell me, I should turn it off, that cannot be the solution for this problem).
    If the macbook is turned off there is no draining issue, just in sleep mode...
    By the way, there is no performance issue regarding the batteries I can use it easily from battery for 5-8hours.
    Do you have the same issue like me with this model and/or what are the average rates for draining in sleep mode, could you do me some tests for me (please do not start from 100%, use it a little bit before use put in sleep)?
    Balazs

    I've been trying to work on a fix aswell to this issue. I have had my Macbook Pro Retina for a week now and in sleep mode I was losing between 30% and 50% battery drain.
    To test, I was charging fully before I slept and then I would review in the morning, or when I reached work. One occasion I had 37% remaining after around 12 hours sleep.
    For me, I think I managed to find a fix, that I haven't read up on yet.
    I downloaded Battery Health app through the App store, so I could check what was happening under the lid and also Memory Clean (both free). Before I put my mac to sleep I cleaned the memory, on starting the app it was 9GB remaining, I cleaned the memory three times and reached 13.36GB free.
    I then put the mac to sleep and I have woken it up 12 hours later and I still have 100% battery remaining (95.5% through the "Battery Health" app).
    Hope this helps someone out there it seems to have worked for me.

  • Macbook Pro Retina Display Cracked, is it replaceable or Do I have to replace the Whole Laptop?

    Hi, I bought a Macbook Pro Retina about two months ago....
    And a few days ago I cracked the Display on the Bottom Left Corner (3 inch)...
    Now I am getting vertical and Horizontal Lines.....
    I called a Apple Premium Reseller they told me I have to repalce the whole **** Laptop... is it real or I can just change the Display assembly only?
    If so How much will it cost?

    Assuming that it is just the screen that is broken, it should be replaceable, but it will cost a lot. (How much I don't know.) Of course, if you dropped it or something similar, there could be all manner of other damage that you can't see. I dropped my previous MacBook Pro (didn't crack the screen), and when it finally failed, the diagnosis was a damaged logic board, and the total repair cost would have been over $1,000, with no guarantees that other components might not also be damaged. I opted to simply replace the machine rather than pay that much and run the risk of other expensive repairs in the future.

  • Macbook pro retina 13" or Macbook pro retina 15"

    Hi
    I'm a senior in high school and going to be a freshman in college.
    It's my first time to buy an apple product so I need some help with it.
    Should I buy macbook pro retina 13" or macbook pro retina 15" ?
    I will use the notebook for writing reports, doing projects, and web surfing.

    Neither. Buy a Standard Macbook Pro and upgrade it yourself to a SSD and more RAM.
    Other then the screen there is nothing in the Retina models that make it any better then the standard models if you install the same amount of RAM and a SSD. In fact In my honest opinion the retina models are not as good as the standard models. You can't ungrade it at all and it is very hard to repair it. If you do buy a Retina make sure you also budget the Applecare extended warranty into the cost. As without it and you have problems with it after the one year warranty runs out it will be very costly to have it repaired.

  • My new Macbook Pro Retina 15 wifi is terrible

    I got a new macbook pro retina 15 last week, and the wifi stops working intermittently and i have to power refresh it each time it goes off. I know many are facing the issue with the new mbp retina.
    Is there a proper fix from apple for this wifi issue yet??

    From most of the posts that I've seen here describing the same problem, it seems as if the problem is more prevelant when Bluetooth is turned on.
    Do you have Bluetooth turned on?

  • Brand new MacBook Pro Retina display wont come up at all.

    I got a brand new MacBook Pro retina display a week ago. Since yesterday, it won't come up at all. Screen stays blank, no HD sound, nothing. Does anyone else have same issue which they resolved already?

    I did call them and it seems there is no solution except sending it back to them and getting a new one.
    This is by far the most strange issue I have seen. Seems more like a hardware issue than software.
    Thanks for you suggestion though. I will post an update ones this case gets resolved.

  • Macbook Pro Retina (late 2013) and support for two external monitor

    Hi,
    I have a Macbook Pro Retina 13" (Late 2013) and are looking to buy two DELL U2414 monitors. But after searching the web i´m a little bit confused if my MBPr will actually supports connecting two montors from one single Display port.
    I will be using this montors at work where I use my MBPr with Windows7 (Paralllels).
    I want to set up these two monitors with extended desktop not mirroring. The reason of using just one DP on my MBPr is that the other one is used by my wired ethernet connection. Will this work under OSX10.9.2 or 10.9.3?. Does my MBPr 13" support DP1.2a MST that is needed for daisy chain multiple monitors?

    The hardware supports DP1.2 and MST but unfortunately at present OS X Mavericks does not.
