Does it worth to move from macbook pro to macbook pro retina?

Hey
I have macbook pro with
Processor  2.66 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory  8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 512 MB
and its good but many people are saying macbook pro 2013 with retina display is the best laptop and has many features so do you advice me to move from macbook pro to macbook pro 2013 with retina display?
thanka

It's a very sweet machine, of course. Although the upgrade path is a bit dicey. Just my opinion, but unless you have very demanding graphics needs (in which case you probably should have a desktop system with a huge monitor), I don't see the point of spending all the money. Probably you would get more value if you take your current machine and max out the RAM and get an SSD.
It's hard to advise anyone in such matters via the internet.
Here are some good reviews:

  • Why can't I rent a movie from iTunes on my Macbook Pro?

    I am trying to rent a movie from iTunes on my Macbook Pro but when I click on the gray rent movie button it does NOTHING, like I never clicked on it.  I am signed in, I authorized the computer and have rented movies in the past.   I do have OS X 10.5.8 and iTunes 10.6.3(25) because I haven't purchased new software to upgrade something that works just fine, until now. I'm not sure if the software is the problem because I have rented movies in the past 6 months. I have just tried to purchase other movies, and even songs, and it doesn't do anything when I click the gray price to purchase the song.  Please help.

    Same exact thing just started happening to me. Same issues as you. I have tried restarting itunes and reinstalling many times with no luck at all.

  • HT5922 Can I airplay a movie from safari on my MacBook to Apple TV and still use the computer for something else at the same time?

    Can I airplay a movie from safari on my MacBook to Apple TV and still use the computer for something else at the same time?

    Hi frogjt,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    Great question! You can absolutely do this in OS X 10.9. The attached article explains how the process of using AirPlay with Apple TV to create a second display. Also, towards the bottom of the article there are instructions on how to set your Displays preferences on the computer to make sure the TV and MacBook Pro displays are set up the way you want them to be.

  • Transfer movies from camera roll to macbook pro

    How do I transfer a movie from camera roll in iPad 3 to Macbook Pro. It doesn't seem to show up in iTunes.

    You don't use iTunes to import photos and vidoes.
    When the iPad is connected to the Mac - launch iPhoto. The iPad should show up on the left side under the devices heading. Click on it, you can import the videos from the camera roll using iPhoto.

  • Does it worth to move to MBP Retina 2014?

    Hey
    I have the MBP mid 2010 15" with 8GB RAM, Core i7, 2.66 Ghz and I am wondering does it really worth to move to 2014 15" retina display?
    I am not a designer or a developer just a student who studies, surf internet, microsoft office, and other normal stuff so I am not that heavy user but what I like about the retina is that it's good for the eyes and lighter because I always carry it.
    so in your opinion does it worth moving like will I feel a real difference? and as I know the latest one is early 2014 so when will Apple release the Mid 2014?
    Thanks

    The retina is great for many points like its much lighter in weight and i notice a real difference in the speed on the flash storage compared to the standard hard drives in the older MBP's, but then i use quite heavy programmes such as FCP X and such like. But i can say that since swiching from a late 2011 15" to a retina 13" i love it everything on the old pro seems so much slower.
    In answer to your other question i can't really see Apple releasing any major updates to the retina soon as they seem to be more concentrated on the new IOS at the moment.
    Hopr this helps

  • HT2729 How can I download an HD movie from iTunes to a MacBook Air as it has less than 2GHz Processor.

    Apple won't let me download an HD movie from the iTunes store to my Macbook Air 13 inch as it has a 1.8 Ghz processor and not the 2.0 Ghz processor it says HD movies need to play. Yet this computer has enough power to play them. How do I fix this?

    Hello maxr0,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    I found this article that outlines where to go to download your purchases again in iTunes.
    The article named says it is for iTunes 10, but the steps will work for iTunes 11 as well.
    In iTunes, click iTunes Store (below Store).
    Click the Purchased link in the top-right of the Store home page (below Quick Links).
    In the page that appears, select a category.
    iTunes shows you which of your purchases are available for download. You can view all of your past purchases, or just the ones not currently in your iTunes library. Items already in your library aren’t available for download.
    If you select Music, you can view your purchases by song, artist, or album. If you’re using Album view, click an album to see which songs on it are available for downloading.
    To search for an item, type its name or a keyword in the search field, and then press the Return key to view your search results.
    To download an item, click the Download button to the right of the item.
    From: iTunes 10 for Mac: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store
              http://support.apple.com/kb/PH1706
    Once you get to the page for your Movies or TV Shows, there should be a checkbox that says Download HD When Available. Uncheck that, and then download your purchase and that should get you the SD version of your video.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • IPhoto Window moves from external monitor to MacBook Pro

    When working with iPhoto 9.5.1 on my external Apple Cinema display, the iPhoto window periodically jumps from the external display to my MacBook Pro display. This usually occurs when I work in a second application for a short while and when returning to iPhoto, as soon as I select something in the iPhoto window, it jumps to the other display. The OS is 10.9.5.

    Sounds like the standard VGA connector used in computers for ages. Connector looks anything like this?

    If yes, will need that adapter and a male to male standard VGA cable.

  • How long does it take to move files to a new MacBook Air?

    I am using Migration Assistant to move files from my older MacBook Air with 120 gb of data on it to my new one that has a 500 gb hard drive.
    The Assistant has been working for over 4 HOURS and still just says that it is "preparing" to move files.  Thus it seems that nothing has actually been transferred yet?
    How long should this process take?  Is something actually happening?
    Any help will be appreciated.

    Using Setup Assistant on a clean install to an external USB 3.0 drive, it took about 20 minutes to import about 150 GB worth of apps, documents, data & users.
    I've only used Migration Assistant once, about two years ago. It was messy, but still I don't recall it taking too long. It's too bad you didn't use Setup Assistant on the very first boot. It is vastly superior. I've used Setup Assistant maybe two dozen times on fresh installs for dev work, and it works quite fast and clean.
