I am an Apple newbie, this will be my second Apple purchase. The first being a IPhone 5.
I've been doing research and I'm leaning towards waiting for the new MBP's to come out but I'm still shopping around. (Also considering a top tier Windows Notebook.)
You seem knowledgeable, so I wanted to ask you a question and ask for your opinion. (Any help from other members will be greatly appreciated.)
From what I've read , the 13 inch Retina is a better computer then the 15 inch Retina even though it has less RAM (8 GB for 13 inch compared to 16 GB for the 15 inch) and a older processor (2.9 Dual Core for 13 inch VS 2.7 Quad Core for 15 inch)
That doesn't make sense to me, wouldn't the computer with more memory and a "better" processor perform better?
What suggestions and/or recommendations would you have for a Apple newbie?
I'm looking for a top of the line notebook, I don't really care about storage since I plan on having a external hard drive as well so 256 GB or so would do. I rather spend my money and upgrade to the best processor and increase the RAM.
Before I did research I was leaning towards a 15 inch Retina because it's the only way to get the "best" processor ( 2.7 Quad Core I7) and increase the RAM to 16 GB from 8 GB. Otherwise I would actually prefer the 13 inch since it will be easier to travel with and not to mention cost less. But now I've read that the 13 inch 2.9 Dual core with 8 GB RAM outperforms the 15 Inch 2.7 Quad Core with 16 GB RAM?
I'm so confused and it seems like the more I read the more confused I get lol.
I'm hoping the upcoming MBP Retina makes the decision easier for me but as it stands I don't even know if I should wait for it to be released.
What would y'all recommend?
Thanks in advance
