I've pretty much decided on the 15" rMBP that lists for $2,599. However, I'm wondering if the base model that lists for $1,999 wouldn't meet my needs.
I know the base model has lower specs:
Processor: 2.0 vs 2.3
Ram: 8GB vs 16GB
SDD: 256 vs 512
Graphics: Integrated vs dedicated
My computing requirements are general home computing (letters, spreadsheets), and web surfing
Since I need more than 256GB, I would add the 512GB to the base model, which would bring the cost up to $2,299
What differences will I notice between the integrated graphics compared to the dedicated graphics?
What differences will I notice between the 8GB RAM compared to 16GB RAM?
Will the base model become obsolete sooner than the higher model?
Thank you
