Min 2012 2.7 retina pro or early 2013 2.7 retina pro?
If given the opportunity would you rather get the refurb mid 2012. 2.7 with 8mg l6 mackbook pro retina or pick up a new early 2013 MacBook Pro retina with 2.7 if they were the same price?
I ask because the geek bench scores for the mid 2012 are a little higher than the 2013 model. But then it's also refurb vs new,
Thanks
Thanks mende1,
I think i'm going to go with the Newer 2013 Macbook Pro. After looking at the differences in geekbench, it seems the new one outperformed the mid 2012 version in everything except CPU and that i'm guessing is because of the extra 2MB cache.
Also a few independent test i ran all did better on the newer one.
internal HD - read/write about 20-30mb/s faster than mid 2012 (436/456 vs 405/427)
Thunderbolt - Performance was about 10MB/s faster than mid 2012 (there may have been something wrong with the thunderbolt port independently)
CPU Temp - same up time/same programs running/ 1hr of same video playing - 2013 was running cooler by about 10-15*C
GPU Temp - same as CPU test - 2013 running cooler but only by 3*C
Fan speed - surpirsing was also actually lower on the 2013 (2100/2000 vs 2300/2100)
Battery life (nothing to really do with model) - but 2013 ran 45min longer from 100% charge it only has 6 cycles on it so far so should get better (vs. 14 on mid 2012)
I decided on the 2013 cause a, brand new, the other would've been a second time repaired refurbished machine. As fas as i can tell a flawless Samsung display, and better battery life consumption with the newer CPU. The battery on the mid 2012 was actually reading at 8860mAh where as this is only reading at 8670mAh not too much difference, but the drain from the i7-3820QM is causing a loss of about 40-45min battery life compaired to the i7-3720QM along with apparently i'm sure a few internal changes that may be playing a part.
in the end. I think for MY needs more as a hobbist photographer/3D Autocad user and mainly medical oriented computer use the early 2013 offers just a tad more of what i need the machine for and so will stick with this lucky deal.

Mac Book pro Retina (15 inch early 2013) is constantly freezing.
Problem description:
My Mac is constantly freezing, for (how it looks like) no good reason. Sometimes it occurs when I load League of Legends, sometimes it does not, also it just froze when I opened Iphoto, so I am not sure why this happens. So when I shut the Mac down, which is, or so it seems the only thing I can do, at the time of the freeze, it tells me, I have a graphic problem, but I am never able to see the report. Yea this is my problem right now with the mac, thanks for reading.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2013) Storage
Hi all,
I am using MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2013). Base on its spcification [http://support.apple.com/kb/SP668?viewlocale=en_US], it's configurable to 512GB or 768GB flash storage.
My corrent storage is 256GB, and I want to upgrade it.
Is there one more free slot or it need to be replaced with my old SSD???
Thnanks,You need to replace the flash storage. Note that the MacBook Pro with Retina display comes with flash storage because a SSD doesn't fit on it.
I recommend you to get an external drive and store the files there instead of replacing the flash storage, which is expensive and will void warranty -
My MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2013) has lag in windows animations, Such as maximize window.
In web browsers (Like Safari and Google Chrome) I have lag in animations such as sliders or scrolling pages.

Macbook Pro 15" Early 2013 - Built in SSD very slow to boot.
Hey Everyone,
Ok here is my problem.. I have a brand new BTO 2.7 GHz Retina MacBook Pro 15" (Early 2013 - ME665LL/A). It has an internal 500gb SSD.
Right out of the box, it took about 1 minute to boot... The Apple logo would appear and the spinning wheel below would spin for up to a minute before the welcome to Macintosh pre-configure window appears.
Figuring something had gone wrong with the OS install at manufacture, I booted into the recovery partition, reformatted the SSD and re-installed the OS. After the horrendous amount of time it took to initially download Mac OS 10.9 from iTunes, the install was successful.
I rebooted the Mac and the same problem… took around a minute to boot…
I gave up and installed all my software and set up the computer… Ive been using it now for about a month and honestly cant complain.. Its been very fast and works brilliantly: with one caveat. If I restart it or start it up from power - off status, it still takes around a minute to boot.
Ive booted up into verbose mode and discovered when Mavericks starts the initial driver loads, the computer hangs on the “AppleUSBMultitouchDriver”. It hangs for 30 seconds, then about a second later says “got response code 2 reinitialised driver” and then continues to load Mavericks successfully.
Knowing exactly what that AppleUSBMultitouchDriver driver does, I removed it from the System / Library / Extensions folder. I plugged in a USB mouse (as the trackpad will now fail to work) and rebooted…
Bingo! the computer started in about 4 seconds! - however no trackpad (as expected)
I re-installed the driver, rebooted and it took 1 minute again, but the trackpad worked again..
I did this a few times to make sure 100% it was this driver causing the problem, and it is…
so I need help.. anyone experienced this? know a fix?.. or do I have a faulty trackpad? (the trackpad works perfect btw)

Macbook Pro laptop (early 2013) sudden slow down, and heats up while sleeping
Hi! I need help with my Macbook Pro laptop (early 2013) that suddenly slowed down, and heats up while sleeping. It slowed down 3 days ago. I want to know what checks I can do to find what is wrong with my laptop. Thank You
Hi! I did reset SMC but it did not work but thank you. Now, my hard drive crashed, bought a new one, but unfortunately my laptop does not detect the new hard drive so that where I'm at. Im not sure if I need to format the hard drive, replace an internal part like the connector of the hard drive to the logic board or the new hard drive is broken.

Macbook Pro 15' Early 2013 SSD Upgrade
I have a MBPr early 2013 with a 512GB SSD, will the new 1TB PCIe (late 2013 model) fit my Macbook Pro 15' or will I only be able to upgrade to the 756GB from the early 2013 model?
You need to change the premise of your SSD use.
see here:
Your Solid State Drive and having enough space inside your Macbook Air & Pro
Solid State Drive usage premise, or the “more space / upgrade SSD” question
There have been questions posed and positions taken by many people who are trying to use their Macbook Air or Pro’s solid state drive (SSD) as a mass media storage device, for either pictures, videos, massive music collections or all three combined; but this should not be the working premise of a ‘limited’ SSD and its use.
In which, it’s the case of those users with either 128GB, 256GB, or even 512GB of internal SSD space, that have or are running “out of space”, that questions are raised. The immediate premise of some users can sometimes be “(how to / if) upgrading my SSD” when in fact in nearly all instances another approach is the logical and sensible one that needs to be looked into and exercised.
Any Macbook containing a SSD should be idealized as a ‘working platform’ notebook containing all your applications, documents, and weekly or bi-weekly necessary files. All collections of media files such as pictures, music, and videos, unless directly needed should be kept off the notebook and on an external hard drive or likewise. While the ‘working platform’ premise is also the case with larger internal conventional hard drives of 1TB+, its implementation isn't as critical except in terms of data protection.
Realistically, you should at most coordinate roughly 20 to 25% of your total SSD space to all audio-video personal use media (picture / music / video collections), leaving the remaining amount on an external HD.
Nobody should consider any notebook a data storage device at any time under any circumstance, rather a data creation, sending, and manipulation device; and in the case of a SSD, this is more important for purposes of having sufficient working space on the SSD and reducing SSD ‘bloat’ in which cases someone is wrongly attempting to use the SSD space as a large media storage nexus.
The rare exception to the collective usage and premise of SSD use in which a much larger SSD is truly needed are for those in video and photography professions that require both the extremely fast speeds of the SSD and the onboard storage for large and or many video and photography files. However this also falls under the premise of a ‘working platform’ for such peoples rather than the intent of many who are using the SSD as passive and static data storage for media files very infrequently needed or accessed.
All on-notebook data collections should be logically approached as to necessity, and evaluated as to whether it is active or passive data that likely doesn’t need to be on the notebook, allocations of space-percentages to as-needed work and use, apportioning space for your entertainment media, and questioning whether it should it be on the notebook for more than short-term consumption.
Considerations should be made in the mind of any user in differentiating the necessary system data (System hub) comprising the Mac OSX, applications, necessary documents that both must and should be on your internal SSD, and that of the users personal data (Data hub) comprising created files, pictures, music, videos, PDF files, data created or being created and otherwise, that likely unless being used soon or often should be parked on an external hard drive for consumption, or temporarily loading onto the internal SSD.
You both can and should purchase whichever SSD size you need or see fit, but even in the case of the largest of SSD, unless use-considerations are made, and SSD spaces are allocated as should be the case indicated above, one can easily and immediately run into this quandary of “needing more internal SSD space”, in which instance a different approach in usage must then be implemented.
However it is almost always the case, that such large media files are wanted to be stored internally rather than actually needed, in which case the external HD is both prudent as well as necessary. Additionally costs per MB are infinitely less on an external HD than an internal SSD in any consideration of data expansion needs.
A Professional Example
In the case of a Macbook Air or Macbook Pro Retina with ‘limited’ storage on the SSD, this distinction becomes more important in that in an ever rapidly increasing file-size world, you keep vital large media files, pics, video, PDF collections, music off your SSD and archived on external storage, for sake of the necessary room for your system to have free space to operate, store future applications and general workspace.
You should also never be put in the position of considering “deleting things” on your Macbook SSD in order to ‘make space’. This is especially what your external HD is for.
Professionals who create and import very large amounts of data have almost no change in the available space on their notebooks internal SSD because they are constantly archiving data to arrays of external or networked HD.
Or in the case of the consumer this means you keep folders for large imported or created data and you ritually offload and archive this data for safekeeping, not only to safeguard the data in case your Macbook has a SSD crash, or gets stolen, but importantly in keeping the ‘breathing room’ open for your notebook to operate, expand, create files, add applications, for your APPS to create temp files, and for general operation.
Slim USB3 1TB external hard drive
External Hard Drives
External hard drives are both extremely cheap and regardless of the size of your internal SSD (or even internal hard drive if the case), you need an external hard drive with your SSD equipped Macbook for several reasons:
1. Data backup and protection.
2. Redundancy for important data.
3. Necessitated ideal space for large media files for collections of pictures, videos, and music etc.
While ever changing in price, typical portable 2.5” external hard drives in USB3 run roughly $65 for 1TB or $120 for 2TB small portable USB3 hard drives. Such drives range in thickness between 5mm and 15mm, with recent improvements in storage of 500GB drives in 5mm profiles.
There is almost no premise in which a small 12mm thick 1 Terabyte USB hard drive cannot be taken along with any Macbook as an external large storage extension inside any Macbook carry case or pouch. Typically such external HD profiles are not much bigger than a deck of cards.
External hard drives are a foregone necessity for purchase with any Macbook for at the very least Time Machine backups, data redundancies, and ideally for large media storage. -
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2013) Flash Storage Failure
So I've been getting Kernel panics for the past few weeks on and off. So I ran the Apple Diagnostics and right off the bat told me my hard drive was failing. I'm going in tomorrow to the Genius Bar. I have Apple Care and Time Machine.
My question is how are they going to replace the Flash Storage? I can't find anything online about one failing let alone being able to replace/upgrade one.
Thanks for the help!
NateYou need to replace the flash storage. Note that the MacBook Pro with Retina display comes with flash storage because a SSD doesn't fit on it.

☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear below what you entered.
The output of the command will be automatically copied to the Clipboard. If the command produced no output, the Clipboard will be empty. Paste into a reply to this message.
The Terminal window doesn't show the output. Please don't copy anything from there. -
MacBook Pro 13" (Late 2013) or Refurb Pro 15" (Early 2013)
Hello guys/girls,
I'm currently studying applied informatics and I need a new laptop for the daily university life.
I came to buy a macbook because of various reasons (Battery life, speed, durability, ..) but I'm still not sure which one I should buy.
I decided to buy a new 13" MacBook Pro Retina with 16GB of RAM, 2.4GHz i5 CPU and a 256GB Flash-Storage but the local refurbished store (Germany) has been updated and a 15" MacBook Pro Retina with 2.4GHz i7 QuadCore CPU, 8GB of RAM and 256GB Flash-Storage has been added. Now I don't know what to buy. Either spent ~100€ more for the 15" refurb. Version or buy the new 13" MBPr.
I'll need to run atleat one IDE for Java, Visual Studio (so I need to start a Windows VM) and maybe more later.
Pros of the 13":
+ Smaller and easier to carry around
+ Better battery life
+ Faster SSD
+ New SSD (? I'm not sure if the one in the refurbed is changed to a new one, since all SSDs have limited write sequences)
+ A bit cheaper
+ More RAM (16GB)
Pros of the 15" Refurb:
+ Faster when it comes to CPU (i7 QuadCore)
+ Faster when it comes to GPU (GT650M)
+ Bigger Display
+ Maybe longer usable (Should be atleast 4-6 years!!)
What would you suggest me?Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH18761
Reset SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Choose the method for:

Macbook pro 15" early 2013 problems
Hey guys!
I'm facing a number of issues with the 2013 MBP 15" that I have, first it was a Wi-Fi Issue, it got fixed after a year. (Thanks apple), Then now since the past 1 year, the computer when I'm using it suddenly freezes and I have to do a hard reboot, and one more issue is that when I try to wake the mac from sleep it just shows nothing and I have to hard reboot it again..After rebooting it'll show me there was a graphics issue and I can report it, I reported it almost a 100 times now. Now I'm really angry, I spent almost 9,000 Dirhams($2450) on this piece of ****. I had an HP which was way better than this, I used it for 5 years without any problems and I bought it for less than $500! So PLEASE APPLE, FIX YOUR ****.Here is the crash report!

TS5296 Is there a corresponding fix for the early 2013 model MBP retina?
This update refused to install, and since my mac's keyboard stops responding quite often, it's becoming a serious problem... getting to the point where the machine is essentially unusuable.
It's now basically an expensive paperweight, because a machine that you have to either nap or reboot every 20 minutes, especially one still under waranty, is simply unacceptible.
Talk about buyer's remorse... this has been by far the worst machine I've ever had in over 20 years.This cropped up on my wife's late 2009 model 27" iMac, too. Random freezes were encountered, unable to identify cause for months, then one day it started to become unable to complete a normal boot. Tech Tool Deluxe was the only direct indication as far as diagnostics are concerned. I've NEVER been abvle to get Apple's hardware diagnostic to run from the cloud, and we fianlly got it on a Techs' bench, AHT showed nothing wrong. As you said, Safe boot is the only way to get into the system, and performance under 10.8.5 is glacial.
Now the kicker - we DID have AppleCare, and this phase of the MXM graphics demise hit within 4 or 5 months of AppleCare expiration. There's no longer a flat-rate repair option, Apple doesn't have any stock of the video board to sell as a replacement part (was $169, or $179 w/no exchange) and even refurbs of this paltry (512MB VRAM) board can hit $300. I know Mac users have become 2nd-class citizens in Apple's business universe, but we're now looking at sub-42 month lifespans for hardware? At $2k for a machine that lacks touchscreen option, that's out of line. -
Memory leakage Macbook pro retina 15inch Early 2013
Hi,
This is my first posting to the Apple community, so please forgive me if have missed a previous posting on this subject.
I have an early 2013 15 inch MBPro retina running 8 gigs. My previous device was a MBpro 15 early 2008 4 gigs of ram. I never expected the 2013 with double the ram to be constantly dropping below 2 gigs with only FireFox and/or MS word running. The older 2008 device used only 2 gigs to run these programs. It appears that the 2013 model is using 6 gigs.
I took the 2013 15 inch MBpro retina to the Apple store for the Geniuses to run their diagnostics. They said my device was running normally. To prove such, they simultaneously opened Jim Carrey's web site 8 times and showed me that all of his the crazy stuff was working in each window. They said that it is normal for a SSD machine to run on low memory.
Unfortunately, it has been my experience that when my memory drops when just using my normal Firefox based surfing, my track pad scrolling starts to get very sluggish until my "memory clean" kicks in at 1.6 gigs and brings the memory up to around 2.5 gigs. As I continue to surf, then the process repeats itself. I never expected my old 2008 device to use significantly less ram running light applications better than my new 2013 device.
I have seen others post an "EtreCheck" and hopefully by posting mine, somebody can find what the Apple Geniuses could not.
Thank you for your help!!

Noisy iTunes and fan problem on MacBook Pro Retina Early 2013
Hi guys, FYI bought today my new Retina 15-inch, Early 2013, 2,7 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 and have the issue of sudden changes of the speed of the fans without apparent cause.
iTunes also is unusable, all songs are noisy (like a radio transmission). Played with VLC they are fine.
MarcoI had almost the same problem, so I tried to turn off "Automatic graphics switching" and everything is working well again. Intel integrated card is just enough if you want 8 hours of battery.

Hello everybody,
This is going to be my first Mac that I am going to buy (Yay!). I'm mainly going to use this for taking notes, typing essays, and playing games (Minecraft, TF2, Bluestacks client). Which Macbook Pro 15 should I buy?
Refurbished Macbook Pro 15" Early 2013 ($1659 + tax from Apple Refurbished)
Core i7 2.5 Ghz
8 GB RAM 1600 MHZ
256 GB SSD
NVIDIA GT650M with 1GB GDDR5
or
Macbook Pro 15" Late 2013 (new, $1849 from bhphotovideo, no tax)
Core i7 2.0Ghz
8 GB RAM 1600 MHZ
256 GB SSD
Intel Iris Pro 5200 Graphics
The prices are pretty much the same after taxes( I plan on either buying it from Refurb Apple Online, or brand new from bhphotovideo.com). I know the Intel Iris Pro are just integrated graphics, but is the performance on par with the GT650M for the things that I'm doing with the laptop?
Thank youKevinTheNewb wrote:

The computer with specs noted above may be a better buy.
