Does the MacBook Pro with the retina display need to be protected from smoke?
So my new college roommate loves to watch is high-definition movies on my MacBook Pro with retina display. The problem is that he likes to smoke indoors and he blows huge clouds of smoke on my computer while he's using it. Since the newest MacBook Pro has air intakes along the bottom sides of the computer, what are the chances that there is something building up on the inside of my computer? I wonder if the designers at Apple took into consideration that people may subject the computer to conditions such as this.
Any thoughts?
You should - if you've been to a smokers house - you'll notice that some parts of their walls have yellowish stain from smoking - those same stains can accumulate inside your Macbook internals.
I've opened enough desktop computers from smoker's house and the fans aren't working because of all the soot from cigarette smoke and it's also sticky inside - if they can do that much damage in a desktop computer - imagine what it can do to the internals of your Macbook when prolonged exposure to cigarette smoke in tight quarters..
see picture below from tar build up due to cigarette smoke...

I want to know if the Macbook Pro with the ash key board and as the cd rom infront is more recent than the one with the black key board and as the cd rom on the side.
Hi Tracy,
I'm guessing "ash" is the silver colored keyboard, the same color as the rest of the MBP? If so, that machine, with the optical drive slot on the front, is the older machine. -
Do the air/pro herschel cases fit the macbook pro with the cd drive?
My boyfriend owns the macbook pro with the cd drive. I am trying to purchase him a herschel case (they are sold in the accessory section in the apple store, online as well as in store)
My only concern is that I know the air and the new pro are thinner, more sleek then the macbook pro with the cd drive and I'm just curious to know if the herschel cases that say "fits air/pro 13inch" actually fit the macbook with the cd drive.
Any answers would be very much so appreciated!
Thank you.yes their a difference. The retna model is slimmer and doesnt have an optical drive.

Why doesn't macbook pro 2.3GHz Retina display have hard drive configuration?
When I'm about to order the macbook pro 2.3Ghz Retina display in the apple.com website. there are no hard drive configuration. the hardware configuration are only memory, apple usb super drive and apple thunderbolt. but no hardrive. why?
Because that is the base model of the Retina Edition.
The Retina Edition doesn't come with a Hard Drive. It uses a Flash Drive.
If you want a larger flash drive, you have to step up to the next model. -
How does Autodesk Maya run on the MacBook Pro with Retina Display?
Hello there,
I'm interested in using the MacBook Pro with Retina Display for Autdesk Maya and wanted find out what people's experiences with that are. It'd be great if anyone can help share their experiences!
Thanks!One thing I do know, is the the UI is very small and menu items/buttons are hard to see. Someone posted a video of a now removed autodesk forum response on how to adjust font sizes .cfg file style, but I tried and it did nothing to the small text in Maya 2014. If you plan on it and don't have button and menu locations memorized by feel, I wouldn't use this software on a macbook pro without an external display, or change the resolution out of retina to use Maya.

Does the MacBook Pro with Retina Display come with a CD slot?
Would anybody know if the MacBook Pro with Retina Display comes with a DVD slot to put a CD in?
If you read the specs on them you will discover that the MBP is way more powerful then the MBA. The big feature of the MBA is light weight. If you need a powerful computer then you want the MBP instead.

Hi!
I recently bought the new MacBook Pro with the new retina display, but since it does not have a dvd/cd drive, I was going to buy an external one. I think I will be able to use it to watch dvds, but can I also play the computergame The Sims 3 on it? If not is there anything else I can do?
Thank you!Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can try formatting the external drive on your eMac using Disk Utility and choosing a well-known format > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html. It's quite possible that your new iMac would be able to read it, but first, tell us which formats Disk Utility lists.
If you have those songs in iTunes, simply go to Music folder and copy the iTunes folder to the external drive. Then, connect it to the iMac and copy the iTunes folder to Music folder.
If they are not in iTunes, copy your songs to the external drive. Then, connect it to your new iMac, open iTunes and drag the songs into it -
What is Apple's official plan for future battery replacement in the Macbook Pro with Retina display?
No one here works for Apple nor does Apple visit this message board. We are all end users like yourself helping each other out.
"Official" Apple "replacement" announcements will be listed on their website and possibly on their Knowledge Base website.

Just brought home newly purchased MacBook Pro 15"/Maverick/Retinal Display. To my astonishment, there is NO DVD slot! No one in the store told me about this missing feature. Intolerable, How does one install software? Insert CDs to copy for iTunes?Do I have to purchase an external DVD drive? Is one even available? What a crock!
I’ve owned Macs since 1990 (IICX my first), mostly desktops. Having had DVD/CD drives in all my previous laptop Macs since 2001 - (2) G4 Powerbooks, A 17” Mac Book Pro - and also inspecting a friend’s year-old Mac Book Pro which had the DVD slot - unless someone told me at purchase, I had no reason to know that the Retina display version of the 15” had NO DVD drive. ANYHOW, I fully intended to buy the non-Retina display version, because it was cheaper. Unfortunately by the time I got to the Apple store they were no longer selling the non-Retina display version; all versions were ONLY with the Retina display. And the fine distinction of a DVD vs. a non-DVD drive was not pointed out. So now I have to shell out an additional $80 bucks for an external SuperDrive.

Is the Macbook Pro with retina display compatible with the share disk utility?
Hi,
I was wondering whether, since the macbook pro with retina display has no cd rom drive, whether the MBP is compatible with the share disk utility like the mackbook air
VKBthere should be no reason why it wouldn't be, as that's a feature of the OS, not the hardware.

This will be my first time buying a laptop and I was thinking about the macbook pro with retina display but the price is a little to high I was wondering for any suggestions? Like other ways to get it cheaper?
Actually you could get student discount from apple and a 10% dicksmith with limited time and I think jb hi fi gives even better discount. But lets see what other people think?

Playing xbox 360 on macbook pro 15 inch retina display with hdmi
Is it possible to be able to plug my xbox360 into my macbook pro 15 inch retina display with the hdmi cable and then play it on my computer because i have an hdmi cable and dont want to go buy the eye tv for another $150 and if it's not possible does anyone know of another way for me to be able to play my xbox360 on it
No. The HDMI port on the MBP-R is an output port used to send images to an external monitor, not an input port.
As far as I know, the only Mac that has ever had a video input capability is the iMac. Some years' models have had the ability to act as a monitor for another computer. I don't have one, but it doesn't look like current iMacs offer this feature (based on a quick skim of the Apple Store pages).
