Does the 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro 2.6-GHz version have the Nvidia GeForce GT 750M discrete graphics or is it just the 2.3-GHz version?

Topic title pretty much says it all. I want the 15-inch 2.6-GHz version with the Nvidia GeForce GT 750M discrete graphics or is it just the 2.3-GHz version?

Yes, I have. The hardware specs are shown for this model, but when you dig further into purchasing it, it doesn't list the graphics cards under "hardware".
My main concern came from reading somewhere (maybe on this forum) that some guy said he chose the 2.3 version so he could get the discrete graphics. I thought all 15inch 2.3 and above had both:
Intel Iris Pro Graphics
NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M

  • 15 inch Retina Macbook Pro making an annoying whining sound

    My 15 inch Retina Macbook Pro suddenly began making a loud whining sound. I have been working her hard recently, but even when I let her rest the sound continues. It seems to be coming from the upper left conner of the machine near the W key. Any suggestions how, or if, I can fix this?

    SMC reset should fix it: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

  • TS1381 My left arrow does not work on my macbook pro(model A1226).  I have reset nvram, performed a safe boot, pulled the cache to desktop, replaced .globalpreference.plist, test all other keys with keyboard view (all others work)  - HELP!!

    My left arrow does not work on my macbook pro(model A1226).
    I have reset nvram, performed a safe boot, pulled the cache to desktop, replaced .globalpreference.plist, & tested all other keys with "keyboard viewer" (all other keys work except for the arrow). 
    In addition, I have gone thru all the recommended checks with universal access and have booted from snow leopard dvd and the left arrow still does not work. 
    I have tried using the left arrow key in all of applications I use such as: excel, ms word, address book, calendar, iphoto, terminal, & highlighting an icon and using the arrows to move to another selected icon.
    Here is the kicker!  In addition, I purchased a logitech solar bluetooth keyboard and the arrows work fine with my ipad but do not work when paired with the macbook pro. All other keys work fine on the macbook pro using the bluetooth keyboard.
    I believe this says that the problem is not in my macbook pro keyboard. So where can it be?
    Can anyone think of any other rabbit holes I can search?
    thanks and regards

    I would also like to add that I've reverted the two cd drive and hard drive mods I did and the laptop is back to factory hardware and there is 0 corrosion or mold visible.

    The only way to do that is to Purchase it from the Mac App Store.

    In that case... Install it on your New Mac using the Disc(s) and have all your Serial Numbers handy in case you are asked for them during the Install.
    After the successful install... run Software Update to get any and all Updates... Then Restart your Mac and you should be good to go.
    PS:
    Make sure your MBPr is connected to the Mains for this Long process...

  • I'm doing a transfer from one macbook pro to another. I have CS4 Photoshop Extended. When I go to open it on my new computer it says error 150:30.

    Don't try transferring Adobe software. It rarely works and usually breaks the activation mechanism (150:30 error).
    Uninstall, run the Cleaner tool then re-install from scratch.

  • Can I wirelessly display the screen of my 15 inch retina Macbook Pro to a Thunderbolt display ?

    Can I wirelessly display (like via bluetooth) the screen of my 15 inch, late 2013, Retina Macbook Pro, to a thunderbolt display ?

    They can fix it, but not for free. Macbook repairs supposedly are classified into 3 tiers by an Apple Rep, I for least amount of damage and III for most. I have a dent in the corner of my MBP and it would require new housing to get it fixed. $450 (tier I) or ~half the cost of a Macbook Air on education discount... HA.
    If it doesn't affect your everyday computing, I wouldn't worry about it. It's awful, but welcome to the club

  • 15 inch Retina macbook pro running hot/overheating.. what to do?

    Hello,
    I just got my new retina macbook pro. FIrst impressing- the thing is awesome. However, In the process of putting all the stuff from my old PC onto this new machine, I was importing photos into iPhoto. I noticed the computer getting very hot after importing about 1000/5000 photos, so cancelled the import. I downloaded temperature guage from the app store, as well as iStat Pro. Below is a screenshot taken with both monitoring apps open while attempting the import. (these were the only three programs running at the time).
    This is a little unsettling.. a 3800$ computer that 'overheats' while attemping to import photos...? Is this normal? I called apple and they said to bring it into a store and the tecs will have a look. I asked if i could simply return the computer (as it hasnt been 14 days yet), but i was told i would be charged a 10% (or roughly 380$) restocking fee...

    I note that the CPU temperature shown by iStat pro and Temperature gauge vary significantly.  What the former reports is satisfactory but not the latter.  Both cannot be right.  I have used iStat pro and Temperature Monitor and they are always very close to each others data.  You might download same and see how it compares with the other two temperature monitors:
    http://www.bresink.com/osx/TemperatureMonitor.html
    For a little peace of mind a trip to the Apple store genius bar would be a good idea.  At least it will tell you if the 'Temperature Guage application is accurate or not.
    Ciao.

  • Should I buy the 13' non retina MacBook Pro or the RMbP

    I am looking forward to buying a new MacBook Pro this year, but I am having a hard time choosing between the newer retina base model of the MacBook Pro or the older (2012) non retina MacBook Pro. I would use the laptop for non heavy gaming, web browsing, and creating documents for school. What would be better in the long run? I know that the newer retina is non upgradable but would the 128ssd and the 4gb of ram would still be good for a couple more years?

    Personally, I would spend the extra $$ and get the 13" with 8GB of RAM and 256GB Flash Storage. I bought my daughter an early 13" Retina with 8GB of RAM and 128GB Flash Storage of which she only has ~27GB left. She'll be needing an upgraded Flash Storage (OWC) soon if she doesn't offload some files to an external drive. Her rMBP is not the PCIe flash storage.

  • Is there a way one can safely remove the keys on a macbook pro lap top and clean under them without causing damage? Or is it best to just take it in for that.... say if one spilled a small amount of maple syrup? Help please.

    Is there a way to remove, clean, and safely re-affix the keys on a macbook pro without causing damage.... or is it best to let the Pro's do it?

    i would let the pros do it. ive dismantled my mbp before and its a pain with all the little parts. you basically have to remove everything from the bottom up (logic board, ram, all cables, cd drive) to get to the keyboard.
    how much junk you got under those keys? the space between the metal and keys are small, unlike a pc laptop (though most pc laptops have easier keyboards to remove) .

  • Should I get a £999 13 Inch Macbook Air with 128 GB SSD or a £1249 13 Inch Retina Macbook Pro with 128GB SSD

    I am a twelve year old boy ready to get my first Mac computer. I already have an iPad 3 and I really like it. Now I'm going to start saving up for a Mac and I am down to two choices, as listed above. I'm going to be using it for web browsing, games, drawing, word documents, presentations, movies, video calling, messages, Windows 8 and I will be using quite a few apps from the Mac App Store.
    Also could you tell me how long Apple support the MacBook Air with the latest version of OS X and how long they support the MacBook Pro with the latest OS.
    I also want to know if it is worth paying £200 to upgrade a 128GB SSD to a 256GB one.

    If past history serves, Apple will support the 2013 models for 5-7 years with new OS upgrades but there's no guarantee. However that doesn't mean the computer will be worthless. I have a 10-11 year old Mac serving as a guest computer running an OS two versions old. It still does everything our guests would want to do while they are visiting.
    The 128GB drive is the smallest I'd recommend and for a teen (who is likely to collect media and lots of software) I'd call the 256GB a very good idea - especially ince you indicate you want to run Win8 too.
    The retina MacBook has a gorgeous display and has a faster processor but all those extra pixels push the GPU to the max. Until faster GPUs come along I'm avoiding the retina computers.

  • I want to buy a 15 inch retina MacBook Pro what configruation do I need?

    I would like to buy a 15 inch MacBook Pro with Retina display but can't decide on a confiruation to get. Here are the things I do on my computer
    Use all of the pre-loaded apps Mail, Safari, etc.
    Download more from the Mac App Store
    Import pictures from my iPhone 5 and iPad 4 and edit them in Aperture
    Use iLife and iWork
    My budget is around $2600
    I will either customize it so it cost less than $2600 or just buy the standard $2199 model.
    Please let me know what you all think as to what configuration I should buy!  
    This will be to replace my 17 inch MacBook Pro from April 2010 whitch has a 2.53GHz Intel Dual-Core i5 processor, 4GB 1067MHz RAM, 500GB Hard Drive

    If I were configuring a Retina model, I would make sure that I ordered the maximum 16GB of RAM and the 512GB solid state storage. If that's $2,600, then go for it.
    Through MacMall, that configuration is $3,183.99. But I think that it would be worth it.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • Is the 13 inch base Macbook Pro Enough for me?

    Hi, i am entering college in the fall and am wondering whether the base 13 inch macbook pro is enough for my needs. i have a very tight budget.. I will most likely carry this around 5 days a week, but i do want to dabble in a little photo/video/audio editing as well. I have a midrange dslr that i love to shoot photos and videos with, and i am starting to get into home recording audio, with an audio interface running mics drums and guitars. i am wondering if the base macbook pro is enough to handle all that i throw to it. i come from an old hp with a core 2 duo processor, 4 gigs of ram and a 500gb hard drive but it is having quite a hard time with all the editing id like to do. what do you guys think?

    Hey Chris,
    i think the best decision you can do is that you buy the cheaper 13'' MBP and Upgrade it to 8 GB of RAM plus you buy a SSD and built it in yourself (if u have the know-how). If not there are Special Services from authorised resellers Where you can bring your SSD and Pay about 40€ for Installation (that's the way ist is Here in Germany). And until fall a 256 Gb SSD will probably Cost 170€ or less (in $ it Should be much cheaper)

  • I am unable to open up pdf files on safari on my 15 inch retina macbook pro

    I just purchased a macbook pro with retina display. When I was attempting to open up a pdf file on my safari, it did not pop up and a blank page showed up. I was wondering the pdf file could not open? What can i do?

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • 15 inch retina macbook pro graphical issue

    I noticed yesterday that i started getting a pixelated "flicked" across my screen. typically it's the lower half and it tends to go across the screen in a rectangular bar shape mainly. . it does happen when im not using video, but it does appear more often when im using a video. it's very very worrysome to me, but happens so fast it's really hard to describe. I'm most afraid that it could be a hardware glitch, since it started yesterday out of the blue. is there any other people reporting this problem? if so is it covered under warruenty?

    no it appears for a very short time and goes away without any particular ryme or reason. it does NOT show up near the eages or when im scrolling (safari in particular can look glitchy when scrolling). it appears right across my screen from one side to the other. it appears so fast that the pixels might have color, but i can't tell because then it's gone. as i said its shape tends to be a rectantgular pattern going across the entire screen, and i have not noticed it before. quiet odd to say the least.
