Macbook Pro Return for Macbook Pro Retina Display

I wanted to know if I can still return my Macbook Pro which I purchased in May 2012 and receive the Retina Display Pro as an exchange.  It sounds like a stretch but the employees at the store said nothing of new product development to me which is pretty deceiving.  I'm still well within the warranty limits for both technical support and the 1 year warranty.  Whether or not it's a yes or no answer, does anyone have any information on this type of exchange or know of it happening successfully?

No, you won't be able to exchange your computer. The Retina display was not announced until June 11, 2012, so there was nothing deceptive going on. While Apple has a reuse and recycle program, you're likely to get less than $1,000 for your computer through that program. Your best best would be to sell your old machine on eBay and put the money towards a Retina display model, if that's what you want.
Good luck,
Clinton

  • What is a good external battery pack for a 13" retina display?

    what is a good external battery pack  for my 13" retina display(macbook)

    Have a look here for the sizes and prices.
    It is however, much better to get a USB external drive that comes with it's own power adapter to avoid issues when or if your USB port can't supply enough power to your external drive.
    That issue however does happen rarely but it does happen.  Especially when connecting other devices to your other USB port while your external hard drive is connected to your other usb port.

    Hi ravelvanto,
    mine too (iPad 3/WiFi) hasn't this features.
    Especially the flash can't be realized because there is a simple lack of a flash light.
    Why there is no compass, calculator (I'm using the Wolfram App instead), or the weather app etc. I don't know...

  • Is there any pen for iPad with retina display ?

    Is there any pen for iPad with retina display ?

    Yes. The Bamboo stylus is fully supported. Only the soft rubber tipped side. The Pen side obviosuly not.
    Note all stylus that work with the iPad are noticeably thicker than a pen or pencil, so precision is not something you'll get much of.
    Look at the link I provided, all those stylus work with iPad. See if you like one of those. Or if you can fnd one of those were you live.

  • Macbook Air charger for Macbook Pro Retina?

    The Air charger is 45W and the Pro Retina charger is 85W.  I understand that the Pro charger can be used for the Air and forums have said that the Air charger does not provide enough wattage for the Pro.  My question is will the Air charger fully charge the Pro if the Pro is not being used while it is plugged in?  And will the Air charger overheat or burn out per se if used for the Pro while the Pro is being used.

    It will charge the Retina (if the retina is off) but slowly, and it will run hot, make sure that it has decent airflow.

    The retina display MacBook Pros are very lightweight, so you won't really notice a weight difference between a 15" or 13" one. If you can afford it, get the 15" notebook.
    Purchase the most powerful configuration you can afford.  If you can afford it, get the larger SSD - but, you can always get a portable external hard drive that you can take with you if you find the internal drive is too small.

  • Cases for the 13" retina display?

    When are they going to come out with cases made to fit the 13" macbook pro with retina display? The retina display is slightly thinner than the normal macbook pro.

    We don't know when it will be launched

  • New Mac Pro overkill for Logic Pro X?

    Hi all,
    Is the new Mac Pro overkill for audio work? I use Logic Pro X and mainly use huge sample libraries with Kontakt, so I would get 64gb memory, a Lacie 10tb Thunderbolt drive to store the samples and 2 Apple Thunderbolt displays. Or would an iMac suffice?
    I don't want to upgrade my old 8-core, dont want a previous gen 12-core, and the price doesnt matter.
    Thank you.

    If you do want best ideal in performance for audio, then PCIe SSDs are great even now. And may really need TB2 to shine and share bandwidth.
    SSDs with near zero seeks and latency and low prices for Samsung 840 EVO 1TB or 750GB are very appealing.
    I would wait until - OS X has had two updates to refine drivers; 3-6 months for any needed changes in firmware for EFI and SMC (which seem to be a regular of ALL new Macs and Mac Pro models); even tweaks to production and TB2 chipsets and such, maybe even those new AMD GPUs.
    Version "1.0" hardware and OS really, and of course vendors will now begin to really have some hands on and expect apps, Apple no exception - to need updates.

  • IPad Air is Awesome - But how will i afford it ? Need an exchange offer for iPad with Retina Display to iPad Air in India

    I have a iPad with retina display with me. We require an exchange offer for the new iPad Air in india.

    Sell your iPad retina and use that money to offset the cost of a new iPad air.
    And if your iPad retina works fine for your uses now, why not just wait - odds are there will be an iPad Air II or something new within a year or less anyway - any consumer electronic device gets replaced with a newer model in very short order anyway.  If you try to always have the very latest and greatest, you'll go broke (or nuts, or both).

  • Contacted by Apple for potential MBP retina display problem

    I'm using MBP retina for exactly two weeks (received 7/27).
    I was unable to get a call, but recieved a voice message from Apple regarding possible MPB retina display problem.
    Is there anyone who got this call from Apple?
    I dont' feel any problem on display, but wondering what could be problems.
    Thanks.

    Could you be more detailed about the message? Apple doesn't usually do that.

  • I am a teacher needing to replace my MacBook pro which would be best, retina display or non retina? I can afford either one.

    I am a teacher, and I am looking to replace my Mbp. I can afford either the retina or nonretina. I am trying to decide which would be the better one to get. Any opinions are appreciated.

    isn't that the same as the macbook air that you're pushing?
    what do you think a mb pro retina is?  It's a macbook air on steriods.
    we're getting out of topic on what the op wanted.
    the op wanted opinion.  the op didn't ask that we blast the Retina Version.
    in any event, I bought one because I want one.  Do I need it? **** no.  Do I want it yes.  Huge difference.
    If people can afford it, who are we to tell them what they should or shouldn't buy?
    Our job here in this discussion is to weight the pro's and con's.  Not to trash which model is better than the other.
