Should i wait to buy the 2015 retina macbook pro?

I've been wanting to buy the retina macbook for about a month. But im worried the new model will come out soon with better specs for the same price. Should i hold off on buying it? Or does it not really matter?

I am wondering this too, but usually no one says too much, because of policy on here.... I expect to see new Retina Macbook Pro's with the new 5th generation Intel processor's. I am waiting for now, because I don't need one right now today. My Late 2011 works flawlessly (knock on wood), so I'll probably keep it even with a new one. The price will probably be the same, or close.... Depends on if there will be a redesign of the Macbook Pro's, too. You never know, but the 12" Macbook Air and iPad Pro, may be taking priority, for redesigns, anyways. So, I would wait, as I am..... I'd like to here if there is any inside info from anyone on here....

  • Should i wait to buy applecare for my macbook pro until the one year warranty is almost up?

    Would i benefit from waiting till the one year warranty  is almost up.  Because then i would maximize the time in which it is under warranty right??

    If you get AppleCare before 90 days is up you also continue free phone tech support from Apple - so by getting it as early as possible you increase the time you can get free phone support. If you go past 90 days you won't be eligible for free phone support until you get AppleCare, but still get hardware warranty for the full one year from date of purchase.

  • Does NVMe update in 10.10.3 apply to early 2015 Retina Macbook Pro?

    I was wondering if the NVMe update in 10.10.3 applies to early 2015 Retina Macbook Pros.  It says on my hardware report that there is no NVMe device installed.

    Probably not with the current SSD. Even though NVMe has been enabled in 10.10.3, I think you need an SSD that supports it, which the 2015 rMBP does not have at the moment (it's using a samsung AHCI controller, at least in the 128gb rMBP 13" 2015 - http://www.storagereview.com/apple_macbook_pro_samsung_ssd_review_march2015). Please correct me if I'm (hopefully!) wrong.
    P.S. The drive still shows up under SATA/SATA Express

  • Mail transfer from the old macbook to the newer retina macbook pro

    Hey, My father moved from an old macbook to the new retina macbook pro about 2 months back. Now as he is a business man he requires all his emails from his old mac onto the new macbook. The problem is to integrate his old mail data with 2 months of his current mail data.
    All the instructions i have yet found online only seem to be for a new macbook where all the mail data and preferences could be transfered.
    Thanks in advance,
    Cheers

  • Life of the new Retina MacBook Pro's FLASH Architecture?

    Dear all,
         How long does the new Retina MacBook Pro's flash based SSD memory last? How exactly is a "write" defined? If I'm going to be paying approximately 2K or more, I better be able to use this computer without problems for 6-8 years.
    Thanks

    You said:

    That means you expect to get 8 years out of a notebook computer. 2004 was 8 years ago. Apple was selling iBooks and PowerBooks back then running 10.3. This is at odds with your 2007 MacBook running the latest operating system. Obviously you do not expect to get 6-8 years from a notebook. You are faulting a brand-new machine with brand-new technologies for failing to meet requirements that have never before been imposed by you or anyone else.
    Your second sentence is completely unhelpful because "as long as all Apple notebooks last" depends much on the user.
    That is correct. If you are the type of person that uses your MacBook Pro for light web surfing, e-mail, newsletters, and as a receptical for Frappuccinos ®, then I can guarantee it won't last 8 years.
    If you use it only for its intended purposes, then it may or may not be able to run the lateset operating system in 2017. It may even need a hardware refresh to restore original performance. If you are lucky, it might last until 2020, but no reasonable person would expect that.

    I have the new retina MacBook Pro.  I made an iMovie but there's no idvd.  How do I make a dvd from my iMovie?

    Apple no longer sells iDvd.  You will have to purchase an older version of iLife that has iDvd on it or use a third party application such as Toast from Roxio.

  • The buggy Retina MacBook Pro EFI version 1.0

    After having installed the Retina MacBook Pros EFI version 1.0, I have severe problems in waking up the MBP. It take up to 15 seconds until the MBP is operative. Who is resonsible for such a buggy firmare? What can I do to get rid of the firmare and bring the MBP back to speed?

    I've got a Time Machine backup. I just want to change the OS, not my data or software. Can I restore as you say? I've been trying to read about it and I'm definitely not a Mac noob, but it seems difficult.
    Thank you for your response!

  • Will the new retina Macbook Pros be able to to handle big logic sessions

    Hello
    I have been using an early 2008 Mac Pro (2 x 2.8 quad-core intel Xeon) which over the past year or two has had a long history of things going wrong with it. I am thinking that it's time to get a new computer and have been looking at the brand new Macbook Pros with retina (not that i need retina!).
    I am a DJ and a musician and one of the reasons I would like a macbook pro is so I can use it to DJ with (serato) as well as incorporate it into my band (ableton). I know a Macbook pro will be able to hand these tasks well but I am wondering whether it will be able to replace my desktop as my main computer and handle large Logic sessions with plugins etc...
    The last thing I want is for it to have over heating issues or not be able to handle what I throw at it. I would love a new Mac Pro but the portability of a macpro is apealing and I'm done DJ'ing with a huge CD wallet.
    Here is what I am looking at:
    2.6GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.8GHz
    16GB 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM
    512GB PCIe-based Flash Storage
    Also am I correct in thinking that my 2008 early Mac Pro has more processing power than the new macbook I am looking at?
    Would be great to hear whether this macbook pro will be able to do the job for me. I'm looking at it being my main computer for the next 5-6 years
    thanks!

    Yes, yes and yes.
    "Also am I correct in thinking that my 2008 early Mac Pro has more processing power than the new macbook I am looking at?"
    You MUST be joking! LOL!
    There will be NO COMPARISON as far as speed, processing power, etc.
    You are looking at about a 40% performance boost on the CPU, alone, never mind the boost in RAM.
    Coupled with the speed of the drives in the MBPro, you will also notice that your insanely complicated projects that typically take a few minutes to load, will actually load in mere seconds.
    GO FOR IT!

  • Should I buy the 2013 13" macbook pro or 2012 15"(refurbished) macbook pro

    Hey guys, so basically to start off, I've never bought a mac before however i have an iphone 5, ipad 3rd gen, and ipod nano 3rd gen. So im now looking for a new laptop as my windows desktop is pretty old and slow. I've been looking at buying either the 2013 13" retina display macbook pro or the 2012 15" refurbished macbook pro. Im at university studying civil engineering, so im mainly going to be using it for creating documents and using some subject specific programmes as well as the normal stuff such as social networking, photos, watching movies etc. The reason I am looking at getting the mid-2012 refurbished 15" is because of the larger screen, dvd drive, and i7 processor,and easier cababilities of upgrading and repairing, however ive also heard that the new mavericks system can slow down the performance of older macs. Obviously the retina display of the 2013 13" would be nice but not exactly necessary for me and also therefore, it feels as though i would be getting more for my money with the 2012 15". The cost of the 13" i5 2013 will be £945.60 (education pricing) and £1,189.00 for the 15" i7 2012 (I wouldnt want to be paying more than that). Any advice would be amazing as im really stuck between choosing these two!! Thanks

  • Is it a good idea to buy the mid 2014 macbook pro Retina, if the ssd isn't changible.

    I've been researching computer specifications lately, as I'm looking to buy a new laptop. And i've learned that hdd & ssd wear out over time. Am i right in saying that  they are the only thing that causes a computer to run slower overtime? whether its caused by wear, filling them up or other things.
    But if i can't change the ssd, will the laptop not be slow after 2.5-3 years, and then i will eventually be forced to buy a new laptop.
    I'm looking to use The macbook for music production, and everyday browsing.

    Thanks for the answers. I am a big fan of using Mac, but there are no other purchase options than the latest retina models. They have stopped selling all the previews models here in Denmark, and portability is important to me, so it has to be a laptop.
    I just called Apple support here in Denmark, and they said, if I find the ssd slow they will change it to a new ssd for an unknown price.

  • Should I go for the new Retina Macbook Pro 13" (announced Oct 2013) or the Macbook Air 13"?

    So, I was set on the Macbook Air until Apple announced the new notebook. The reason I was set on Air previously is because I really need a portable laptop, and the Air was lighter. But the new Pro seems light enough if not as light, so I'm confused all over again.
    I won't use my laptop for much. I don't use my computer for gaming or high-end photo editing. I might use it for basic photo editing, nothing too special. I'm going to start college soon, which is why I need a portable laptop with good battery life. And I will be typing a lot. I listen to a lot of music, and so, I download quite a lot of music as well. Space is not that big of an issue, since I already own an external hard drive. Other than that, I browse the Internet... basic websites... Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Tumblr etc etc.
    So, input would be highly appreciated. Which laptop would meet my needs, and will be good in the long run as well? Thanks in advance.

    In my opinion, a college student should get the old-fashioned MacBook, NOT the Air.
    You are going to be putting this in a backpack and heading off to your next class or lunch four or five times a day. The regular MacBook Pro can stand that abuse -- the Air is much more light and delicate.
    If you were an executive, slipping this (in a neoprene sleeve) in and out of your Briefcase once a day, I would say the Air is fine.
