Will a 13 inch Macbook pro non retina 2.5 ghz run minecraft good

I am looking to buy a 13 inch macbook pro 2.5ghz the $1199 one. Will it run minecraft fast?

I'm looking at getting one too. I watched some videos on YouTube and it looks to be 50-100 fps on full settings. But I have heard a rumour on the apple website that MineCraft looks blurry on the retina display models because it hasn't been optimised for such high resolution. Mojang can fix that though. They just need contacted.

  • Run two monitors from my 15-inch MacBook Pro (Non-retina, mid 2012)?

    I'm looking to run two monitors from my 15-inch MacBook Pro (Non-retina, mid 2012). I don't want to use the actual laptop screen in this setup, I just want to use the two external monitors.
    My 15-inch MacBook Pro (Non-retina, mid 2012) has the following ports on the side:
    FireWire 800 port (up to 800 Mbps)
    Two USB 3 ports (up to 5 Gbps)
    Thunderbolt port (up to 10 Gbps)
    I currently use the Thunderbolt port to one external monitor.
    My question is: Is it better to run the second monitor via USB 3, or FireWire (if that's even possible)? What would you recommend?

    See -> http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/products/gxm/dh2go/digital_me/.
    Good and simple way to get two monitors from one Thunderbolt port.

  • 15 inch MacBook Pro non-retina or with Retina?

    Hello everyone
    I have the new iMac and got it in early December to replace my old 2008 MacBook Pro. I sold that one and now have decided to get a new 15 inch  MacBook Pro. But I am stuck on whitch one to buy.
    Here are the things that I will do with this computer
    Use all of the pre-loaded apps
    Download more from the Mac App Store
    Import pictures from my Nikion Camera, 64GB Black iPhone 5, 64GB Black iPad 4 into iPhoto and edit them in Aperture
    Use iPhoto, iMovie, Garageband
    Use Pages, Keynote, Numbers
    Here's the configuration I would buy if I get the non-retina model
    $1799 model
    4GB RAM
    256GB SSD
    1680X1050 Glossy display
    2.3GHz Quad-Core i7
    Here's the configuration I would buy if I get the retina model
    $2199 model standard configuration
    OR if there are any refurbished $2799 models from Apple's refurbished store
    Please let me know what you all think!
    Thanks for helping me!!!

    Personally, I would go for the non-retina display, and here are my reasons:
    1. It's far cheaper, and you're getting a very similar product.
    2. Yes, the Retina display comes with 8GB of RAM, and from what I know, with the newest models you can put 16GBs of RAM in them. If you ever needed more RAM, you can't replace it on your retina display model. However, you can go out and buy 8GBs of good RAM for $50, and replace the non-retina display RAM without voiding your warranty.
    3. If you ever want to upgrade your SSD, or switch over to a massive hard drive for the sake of storage capacity over speed, you can also do so without voiding your warranty on the non-retina display.
    Both of the displays are gorgeous, and while it's true that Retina display is prettier, the non-retina display is quite nice. Furthermore, if you ever need to do anything at all in your computer, you're out of luck with the Retina display, as the case is glued together. I personally have an old '09 MBP, before retina display, and the display is perfectly fine. You'll save a lot more money getting the non-retina display, and it will probably last you longer, seeing as SSD's tend to be more reliable than flash storage. True, they're the same thing, SSD's are alined in an array and are made for speed and reliability. If I were you, I'd go for the non-retina display.

I purchased my Mac this past month on 11/20/13 so i do not have a problem with it being an older version. Please help. This is my first computer so i dont have any experience on how to fix this.

    You can't install the App Store version of Mavericks because your model needs a special version. If you ever need to reinstall it, boot into Recovery.

  • MacBook Pro non-retina or retina?

    So, I'm a junior in high school and I'm in the market for a new laptop for college (I know I should probably wait for newer models to come out, but Apple's specs don't seem to be going obsolete anytime soon). A little more background, I'm planning on majoring in software engineering, so if anyone has experience with that please share your tech advice! My choices are as follows:
    MacBook Pro non-retina with: 2.5 GHz i5, 8 GB RAM, 1 TB HDD
    Or
    MacBook Pro retina: 2.8 GHz i5, 8GB RAM, 512 GB SSD
    (Side question; for college will I really need 1 TB or 512 GB? I have another laptop that I plan to use as my personal laptop, while this MacBook will be primarily for school. I just like have a little more room to work with, but if you think 256 will work please let me know)
    A major factor in my decision is price, with the non-retina coming in at $1,134 and the retina at either $1,399 or $1,699 depending on the SSD size recommended, if recommended. The biggest factor would probably be HDD vs SSD, is the SDD worth the extra $400-600?

  • Why does my macbook pro non-retina cannot detect NVIDIA GeFORCE GT 650M? It can only detect my Intel HD

    I bought a macbook pro non-retina with NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M, but it doesn't appear on the system profiler "About This Mac". It only shows the Intel HD Graphics 4000. How will I make NVIDIA work?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Your MacBook Pro switches automatically between both GPUs, and for normal use, you will see only the Intel HD Graphics 4000. When you use heavy applications, it will switch automatically to the NVIDIA GPU, so you don't have to worry about it.
    If you want to check that your NVIDIA GPU is working, open System Preferences > Energy Saver, and disable the graphic card switching, so your Mac will use the NVIDIA GPU. Then, open  > About this Mac > More Info, and you will see the NVIDIA GPU. Note that this GPU consumes more battery

    Apple does make these, but they are not sold everywhere.  Where are you located? 
    Nobody in these forums represents Apple or any store, so to find out whether you can buy a particular product you will need to contact stores directly yourself.  In the US you can sometimes get unusual keyboards by talking to an apple retail store and asking for a special order.

  • 15 inch Macbook pro w/o retina display or 13 inch Macbook pro with retina display?

    Want to get a macbook for university. Going to be used primarily for work and casual use. Have a 32inch full hd tv to connect up to for watching movies etc, which is the better choice?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    I recommend a non-Retina MacBook Pro unless you need the Retina display. MacBooks Pro with Retina display are very limited and you can't replace anything if you don't want to void warranty. Also, repairs are more expensive, so purchase AppleCare for your MacBook Pro with Retina display.
    Go for the 15-inch MacBook Pro if you need good GPU performance. The 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display has got an Intel HD Graphics 4000 as the graphic card, and it's not supported in Adobe apps, for example. Also, apps that require GPU performance won't work properly.
    If you are not going to do any heavy task, the 13-inch MacBook Pro should work

  • 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.

  • HT204244 Is a MacBook Pro (non-retina from 2011) also updated for the Thunderbolt issue? Or Retina MacBooks only?

    Is a MacBook Pro (non-retina from 2011) also updated for the Thunderbolt issue? Or Retina MacBooks only?

    Go to Geekbench
    http://browser.primatelabs.com/mac-benchmarks
    and check out the relative values for the system you're currently using versus the one you're going to buy. My guess is a fullly spec'd MBP Retina will do the job, but you're undoubtedly better qualified than anyone on here to tell what kind of a machine you need.

  • Macbook Pro Non-Retina OS

    I'm currently planning on getting the macbook pro non retina but I have a question. Does it come with the latest Mac OS (yosemite)? If so, doest it work smoothly like on any other macbook? Answers appreciated

    If you get the MacBook Pro from Apple, it will come with the latest OS X version available, in this case, OS X Yosemite. Note that the non-Retina MacBook Pro is much older than the Retina MacBook Pro (the latest non-Retina MacBook Pro was released in 2012), but it should work properly: moreover, you can add more RAM or change the hard drive if you want to.

    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.
