hi guys,
i'm a windows user and i really like to switch to mac. i really want to buy macbook pro (non-retina) the latest version because of it's cool features. considering now is already december 2014 should i buy it ? or buy other mac or laptop ? i'm still in high school and only use laptop for doing task,watch movies,hear music, games and some other basic stuffs. can you guys help me choose ? thanks ! appreciate for the reply.

Watch the Apple Online Store’s refurb section for non-Retina 2012 models. The 2.9 GHz model is a very nice machine and there were some available within the past week. Check daily, because they go fast. I bought one last summer and I love it, but I am not playing games on it. B&H Photo still has some 2012 models, also.

I don't like the 'non-retina' MacBooks, why downgrade when for £100-£200 more you can get a retina Mac which looks and feels 100x better.
It's hardly a downgrade to those of us who care about being able to upgrade our Macs ourselves if and when we need or want to do so. For me, having a FW800 port is also a consideration.

Well i am going to get a macbook pro non-retina should i get 4gb or 8gb i asked because i have lots of files and i play and record games what gb should i do?

i have to get a new computer i want to get a macbook pro non retina but i use my computer alot with school i have lots of files and picture but what should i get 4gb or 8gb

You need storage space for your files. You need RAM in order to run programs. They are not the same.
1. Get 8 GBs of RAM.
2. Get a large hard drive or SSD to store your files. The bigger, the better.

Should I buy the old MacBook Pro(non-Retina)

I want to buy a new MacBook but very confused with which model to buy. I was very keen on MacBook Pro (non-retina) because of it good specs and the flexibility it provides for hardware upgrades.
But with the launch of new MacBook Pro Retina models, I have been hearing news (rumours) that the old MacBook Pro (non-retina) will be phased out.
Please advise me if it is still a good idea to purchase the old MacBook Pro (non-retina) model ? I am just afraid that Apple might stop supporting the product in future.

I bought my MacbookPro 15.4'' (mid 2012) in the beginning of October and have been fully satisfied, even if it's not Retina. It has IntelCore i7 2.3 Ghz, 1600 Mhz DDR 3 and this alone let draw a conclusion that this is indeed powerfull and efficient machine one could ever wish to own and at the same time to pose a question: what else could one desire? It's definitely OK for the next 5 years and as much as I can determine to derive from it for my needs (by the way I'm convinced it would even meet the requirements of professionals such as IT specialists and the like) this Mac will give me much to benefit from its specs. Mine came with Lion 10.7.4, upgraded then to Mavericks and voila - its performance didn't dissapoint me either. You should concern more where to buy to purchase high-quality product, of course brand new (not used/overused, damaged both internally and externally). The best choise is to buy it from an authorized reseller, a local Apple Store etc. Believe me, an "old" Mac (is mine old??) - speaking of the span of -2,3,4 years prior to this year is a very relative notion: it is TO SOME EXTENT if you compare to the newest models, BUT it isn't so "old" (whan saying the word our psychology distorts this making it sound like "total garbage" which IS ABSOLUTELY INCORRECT) comparing to the whole Microsoft-based stuff, even pretending to smooth quality (Windows 8 2-in-1 "tablets"). My advice - buy a 2012 model and you won't lose.

Worse WiFi problems now that I've upgraded to 10.10.2 on 2012 MacBook Pro - non retina

Worse WiFi problems now that I've upgraded to 10.10.2 on 2012 MacBook Pro - non retina.
Goodness.......why can't Apple do things right anymore. Oh I forgot they sell iPhones instead of computers.

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

I want to buy macbook pro without retina display 13 inch. How much does it cost? Is it available now?

Hi,
I want to buy macbook pro without retina display 13 inch model. How much does it cost? And is it available now? I heard that Apple is going to discontinue this model soon. Is it true?
Kindly let me know.
Thank you.

Apple's still selling the 13" (but not 15") non-Retina model... see -> http://store.apple.com/us/buy-mac/macbook-pro?product=MD101LL/A&step=config.
Good luck,
Clinton

Should I get a MacBook Pro non retina upgraded or retina base model?

Hi I am looking to buy a MacBook Pro non retina or retina model, I have a budget so I would buy the non retina i7 with 4gb of ram and upgrade to 8 later or buy the retina model with no upgrades and not being able to upgrade it later on... I might be playing a bit of games like skyrim oblivion gta maybe other stuff downloading music and movies ... Please help me decide thanks.

You're most welcome, Bacon.
I know you'll love your new MBP.
This is my 2nd, and they're just wonderful.

I have a macbook pro non retina, and I wanna know, there is any problem if I take my computer turned on into my backpack actually is not a ssd disk thanks

I have a macbook pro non retina, and I wanna know, there is any problem if I take my computer turned on into my backpack actually is not a ssd disk thanks

it's fine if you leave it on.......i keep mine turned on while travelling with my macbook in my laptop bag and have had no issues.
if however, you plan on running around or jogging - it's better to turn it off.
but leaving it on will not hurt it.

Should I get the 13in MacBook Air or the 13in MacBook Pro(non retina)

I will be starting college soon and need a computer that will serve as my main and only computer but I also want good mobility as I travel a lot and also want to take it to class everyday also I plan on starting price for both so no upgrades. I like the MacBook Air for its mobility and longer battery life, but it only comes with 128 GB, while the MacBook Pro comes with 500 GB hard drive and also can take disks. Its 128 GB enough for the average user? Also can you guys tell my what other advantages each computer has over the other thanks

defenatly get the 13 inch macbook air,It is super light and it's battery life is some what ok,but if you are concerned on storage space you can always buy an external device they will save you a ton of money in the long run.You always have the option of buying an external optical disk to.The best part of the Macbook air is it's flash storage its 9 times faster storage transfer than the non retina macbook pro.The macbook pros with retina display do not have a cd drive ether.I have the macbook air 13 inch and its great 2 years old and works and looks like its brand new [except for the battery life].

Yes you can shutdown as many times per day as you like
Yes you can use it plugged in even if the battery shows 100%, as per Apple guide on batteries here: http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html
They recommend you use the battery and allow it to drain to below 40% of capacity atleast once a month to in their words 'keep the juices flowing' and for longterm storage where you won't be using the device, they recommend you unplug it and let it drain to about 50% before shutting it down and not using it for a long period of time ie: 6 months

Macbook Pro 15" Retina Mid 2014 MOUSE/TRACKPAD LAG. PLEASE HELP!!

Hello,
I just bought a new Macbook Pro OSX Yosemite this week. Retina, 15 inch, Mid 2014. 2.2 GHz i7. 16GB RAM. 256 GB HD. I've been noticing a lag when I use the trackpad and the bluetooth mighty mouse. It seems to happen completely randomly. If I don't use my computer for a long time and then start to use it again it sometimes lags for a second and then works, and then lags again, and on and on...
Sometimes the lags are 2 seconds long and sometimes they're less than 1 second long. It seems my mouse, trackpad AND keyboard are all affected by this problem. I'm pretty upset, seeing as how I paid over 2 grand for this computer. Does anybody have ANY idea at all what is causing this AND what I can do about it?? I'm not a huge computer guy.
The problem doesn't seem big enough to get a whole new computer. It seems like an Apple technician could fix this in 2 seconds. Wouldn't you agree? Please help. Thanks

I have similar problems with a much older system (a late 2008 MacBook Pro). In my case, the problems with BlueTooth peripheral (mainly the Magic Mouse) are almost always associated with TimeMachine back-ups. This is a well known problem in the sense that I have seen posts about it going back to 2011, but I have never seen any specific solutions offered.

Macbook Pro 13 Retina (Mid 2014) SSD Upgrade

Hi all,
Does any one know which SSD flash cards are compatible.

Apple does not support any user alteration of the 2014 MacBook Pro after sale. You can check OWC, http://www.macsales.com and see what they offer, but making changes will void your warranty.

What should I get, the 21.5" iMac or the 15" MacBook Pro (Non-retina)?

Im 14 and I know it's a lot of money to be spent on me at my age by my parents but they don't mind getting me it. Also I'm not looking to get the MacBook Pro to show off to my friends I like it because of its probability. So maybe could you list a few pros and cons for me so I can see what one would suit me bet?
P.S. I know the iMac is cheaper but money is not a problem so don't put that down as a con for the MacBook pro please?
Thanks

"Pron" looks better bigger, so I vote for the iMac.....
Yeah, right, "I'm pure & chaste and only surf the Disney channels" my azz.....
