Macbook pro 15" i7 vs retina

Hi people, I was wondering if the difference between the macbook pro 15" i7 and the retina one is toomuch, because I´m gonna buy a new one and in order to make my budget, bieng specific is because I work with photoshop, ilustrator an indesign all day long, thanks

2012 15 inch for sure.  As a rule of thumb, if you're going to be doing any video editing, you'll want to go with the more powerful 15 inch.  The quad core and dedicated graphics card will make a big difference. I have the 13 inch late 2013 and it handles lightroom 5 fairly well, nothing to wow over though.  I haven't tried any video editing but I'd imagine the Iris graphics card wouldn't be enough to perform comfortably.
Good luck on your purchase!

  • Macbook pro mid 2012 no retina performance drop after efi

    Hi, mi macbook pro mid 2012 no retina after efi update the performance are too slow, thats is the same problem with retina, please fix it, in osx mountain lyon the aplications that used every daywith video is poor, in bootcamp with games is the same problem, the cpu clock drops from3.3 ghz to 1.2 ghz or more. Waiting for a mew efi update bescause my mac is the same that a macbook air

    No Apple hasn't officially stated anything about this issue. After I updated to EFI Update 2.0 I noticed the issues and started doing my research and found people in the Macrumors forums having the same problems and eventually I was reading that users that didn't update yet weren't seeing the update in their updates meaning Apple pulled the update from the servers. Other users reported after calling Applecare that they were aware of the issue.

  • Internal drive for Macbook Pro 13 inch with Retina display from late 2013?

    Hi everyone. After some water spillage to my new computer, the guys at the Apple Store have told me that my internal hard drive needs to be replaced. No other damage was done, thankfully. I have a Macbook Pro 13 inch with Retina Display from late 2013. The Apple genius said my current hard drive has flash storage, and that my new hard drive will need that as well as the computer requires it. Does anyone know where I can buy such a hard drive? Is it possible to buy it from Apple? I am happy to buy online or in a store (I live in Australia). Also, is this Mac Pro model difficult to take apart? I'd like to install the hard drive myself.
    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

    256, 512 GB, or 1 TB flash storage

  • My Macbook Pro 15-inch with retina display crashes sometimes when connected to an external monitor

    My almost-new Macbook Pro 15-inch with retina display goes black and shuts down sometimes when connected to my external monitor. (The first time it did this was when connected to a projector.) They have replaced the motherboard but it still happens sometimes. The computer and monitor both come back on after a few seconds.

  • HT204384 SD Card will not mount on Macbook Pro Mid 2012 (non-retina), tried everything

    I am trying to use a PNY 4GB SD Card on my Macbook Pro Mid-2012 (non-retina), but I cannot get it to mount or for the Macbook to even see it's there.  I read some people had success slightly pulling it out, pushing it in faster, cleaning the port, etc. which I have tried all of these, but to no avail.
    Anybody have an idea?
    Thanks,

    Had problems reading SD cards after a Mountain Lion update. Try this XQuartz solution that fixed this for me. I'm using a 13" MBP mid-2012. All you have to do is install this programme and re-insert your SD card.
    XQuartz no longer comes with new Macbooks, only X11.
    See this support page from Apple on where you can download XQuartz.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5293?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    You can download Xquartz directly from here:
    http://xquartz.macosforge.org/landing/
    This should be the most up to date version. If not check for updates once you have downloaded it.
    Simply re-insert your SD card and voila!

  • MacBook Pro (summer 2012) non-retina display and SSD upgrade?

    Looking to upgrade to a SSD in my MacBook Pro (summer 2012) non-retina display. Are there ones that work better in a MacBook Pro?

    In theory at least, any SSD will work fine. There are some additional considerations to make, however. It mostly revolves around updating the drive's firmware. Many SSD companies do not offer Mac-friendly ways to perform this procedure. From the list Clinton provided, you can drop Corsair and Samsung immediately for this reason.
    I would not consider OWC, Intel, or any SSD that uses a Sandforce chipset because of spotty reliability. Yes, improvements have been made, but I still do not trust them. Of the dozens of SSDs I've owned and deployed over the last 2-3 years, the only ones to need replacement were ones with Sandforce.
    That leaves Crucial, Plextor, and OCZ. The former two basically use the same Marvell chipset. While I can't speak for Plextor, Crucial's firmware updates are OS agnostic. You simply down an .iso file, burn it to CD, boot from that disc, and perform the update. It works perfectly on a Mac. Doing a quick check of Plextor's support site, it seems the proedure is the same.
    For OCZ, I'm only focusing on the Vector and Vertex 4. The former is brand new, having just hit the market within the last couple weeks. If you're looking to buy right now, I would stick with the Vertex 4 as it's a more proven commodity. OCZ has created a suite of tools that you copy to a USB flash drive. You can boot from it, and it takes you to what I think is a very heavily modified Linux distribution. From there, you can do a firmware update, check drive health, and perform a SATA secure erase to return the drive to its "out of the box" state. To get the most from the tools, you should have a USB mouse plugged in. Also, firmware updates require the use of a hard-wired Ethernet cable; you can't use wireless.
    Bottom line - for an SSD upgrade, stick with Crucial, Plextor, or OCZ as they are the most Mac-friendly (aside from original Apple parts, of course).

  • MacBook Pro with 13-inch Retina Display RAM Failure?

    Hi there!
    I just bought a new MacBook Pro with 13-inch Retina Display on Christmas at an Apple Retail Store, and I was experiencing some lag.  The lag occurred when creating simple graphical animations, like swiping to reveal Mission Control.  So I took it in.  The diagnostics were fine, so they said that they'd try and repair it.  After a few days, I got a call and they told me that I have bad RAM.  And being a computer freak, I understand that it is part of the lo-bo.  Now they have to order an entirely new logic board, and I have to wait even longer.
    For $1700, that was disappointing.  Has anyone else had a similar problem?

    Well, I was told that nobody in the Apple Retail Store had seen this specific problem before.  I couldn't find anything on the Internet either.  I wanted to know if there was someone else who's MacBook Pro with 13-inch Retina Display's Hynix RAM slowed down graphical performance, because it sounds odd.  I am aware that defects are common, but this seems, again, particularly queer.

  • How can I tell the MacBook Pro with 13-in retina that I purchase is the late 2013 model from the box?

    I'm wondering how I can tell the differences between the late 2013 model and the early 2013 model of MacBook Pro with 13-inch retina from the box?

    You can enter the serial number in the appropriate field on a web site such as this and it will tell you what model it is:

    <Email Edited by Host>

    When you order a MBP you can have it delivered at any Apple retail store.  When you get the e-mail that the MBP is ready to be picked up, you have options to enter in the rersponse if you or someone else will pick it up.  You will have to fill in some required information that will identify that person to the store personnel. 
    I had my last MBP delivered to the local store, but I picked it up.

  • ROG Swift PG278Q and Macbook pro late 2013 15" retina

    I am thinking to buy it i loved it from the time i saw it !!

    Locutus,
    What cable are you using to hook up to the ROG Swift? I just bought a Cable Matters® Gold Plated Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt™ Port Compatible) to DisplayPort Cable, but it doesn't seem to be working. Do I need to get a driver or something?

  • Recently purchased a Macbook Pro with screen of retina of 13,3 inches. My question is, can I install the new Final Cut Pro X , is capable of withstanding the app? Or that Final Cut is convenient to install?

    Recently purchased a Macbook Pro with screen of retina of 13,3 inches. My question is, can I install the new Final Cut Pro X , is capable of withstanding the app? Or that Final Cut is convenient to install?

    Generally any Mac made since 2009 can handle FCP X.
    Your small screen is not ideal unless you are young and have good vision.
    However, you needn't ask whether or not your computer is suitable as you can find out yourself by downloading the free 30 day trial.

  • Qual è il modo più facile e veloce per trasferire tutti i dati dal mio vecchio MacBook Pro (del 2008) al nuovo MacBook Pro 13' con display retina (che non ha lo slot per il cavo ethernet)? Grazie

    Qualcuno sa dirmi qual è il modo più facile e veloce per trasferire tutti i dati dal mio vecchio MacBook Pro (del 2008) al nuovo MacBook Pro 13' con display retina (che non ha lo slot per il cavo ethernet)? Grazie

    The fastest way would be Target Disk Mode:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10725
    You would need a Firewire cable and an adapter for the retina Macbook.

    Not fast, but perhaps more practical is to use an external hard drive with USB as an intermediary.

  • I have MacBook Pro 13-inch with retina early 2013 can I install windows on it because I tried but an error appear ( an error occurred while copying files)

    I have MacBook Pro 13-inch with retina early 2013 can I install windows on it because I tried but an error appear ( an error occurred while copying files)

    If you are on Yosemite, and have a CoreStorage volume (the default), it is not visible on the Windows side. The Apple HFS driver cannot read CS volumes.
    You can verify this by running the following command in OSX Terminal.
    diskutil cs list
    If you get any output, such volumes will not be visible.
    As a work around, if you really need it, check the 'Revertible' value. If it is yes, you can revert it to HFS+ by using the following command
    diskutil cs revert
    Here is the syntax for the command. The LVUUID parameter can be seen as a long string for your Logical Volume. Do not use the Logical Volume Group or any disk UUIDs. If you need the exact command, please post the output from the diskutil cs list command?
    diskutil cs revert
    Usage:  diskutil coreStorage revert
            MountPoint|DiskIdentifier|DeviceNode|lvUUID
            [-stdinpassphrase | -passphrase [passphrase] | -recoverykeychain file]
    Convert a CoreStorage logical volume back to its native type.
    The file system must be mounted and resizable (i.e. Journaled HFS+).
    Ownership of the affected disk and a passphrase (if encrypted) is required.
