Hey y'all,
I am upgrading my ancient, 17" 2010 Macbook Pro. Currently it's the 2.6ghz Dual Core w. 8gb ram, 512mb Nvidea 9600 video card.
I've done video/photo editing for a long time but honestly this guy has gotten a bit too clunky. I plan on getting a nice 1TB SSD to put into my future Macbook Pro. I use a projector or external display 90% of the time.
I am considering buying the last round of the 13" non-retina Macbook Pro, and I have some questions.
1) Was there any actual update made to the non-Retina Macbook Pro in the "2014 refresh?"
2) Can one put 16GB of RAM into the non-Retina Macbook Pro (2012 and later)?
3) I have found maxed out (2.9ghz i7, 8gb RAM) 2012/2014 non-Retina Macbook Pros on eBay for about $1000. That seems fine for me.
4) What is the video card like on the 13" non-Retina Macbook Pro (2012 and later)?
I know that I do not need the absolute fastest, latest, more expensive model to do my video editing (especially having used clunkers my whole life). So, to be honest, I'm not really seeing why I'd want to drop several hundred dollars more for a retina display
