Are you getting a new MacBook Pro?

I'll stick with my lovely 760GB of RAID SSD storage that I can swap when I want, thankyou.

Sticking with '11 MBP.

Premium prices for a non-user-exchangeable, soldered setup is a slippery slope.

 

[kazmac]

possibly

if I do, it'll be the 15" Retina MBP...want to see exactly how much of a hit my savings will take.

 

[Gator24765]

I was really hoping for a 13" redesign as well.

Now I have to do a bit of research to see what I want, and what will suit my needs.

 

[XX55XX]

I wish I could have made the choices even more comprehensive, but there are so many options...

 

[wct097]

Probably the new Retina MBP. Seems like I won't have the option to do a HDD in the optical bay in addition to the SSD (no optical bay) like I can with my current MBP. Wonder what a 16gb/512gb MBP will run with Retina display.

 

[Astroboy907]

I dont think the 15" retina is user upgradable. What a shame... If the 17" is announced with retina I will buy it..

 

[Hidendra]

my debit card is armed for a Retina, so long as I can use the student discount

The next gen Pro was basically what I had in mind. 15", slim, dedicated graphics, quad core processor, and 5+ hour battery.

Just trying to decide whether to go with the stock 8GB or upgrade to 16GB RAM. 512GB 'drive is a given.

In my opinion, if you plan to do lots of video editing or anything that requires heavy lifting, get 16GB.

Plus, it's great for future-proofing.

I'll wait 5-6 years to retire my 2011 MBA and get the latest

 

[Braniff747SP]

I'll got for the new old look 13'. It's going to be fast...

You don't have a "I'm still thinking about it since I don't blow thousands of dollars on a new computer without taking a few days to mull it over" option.

I'll be waiting for this as well. Guess I should pick a new hobby other than perusing rumor sites all day, could be awhile!

You are keeping your current Mac/PC, then!

 

[mnsportsgeek]

I'm hoping the student discount is $200 off. Then maybe I'll be able to grab one.

 

[pHeNom]

Sure will. Anybody know when I can pick one up ASAP? Hopefully they'll have it in stores by the time I get off work.

Just saw the specs, looks like I must get the $2799 config to get the 512GB SSD Not sure I can stomach the premium for the 16GB.

Still have no idea how much the RAM u/g will cost...

 

[Boe11]

I intend to purchase the next gen 15" base as soon as the store pops back online, and I'm pretty darn excited

 

[sanbon909]

I'll be buying one but I'm not sure which one yet. I'm a little disappointed that there was no upgrade to the screens of the 13 or 15.

 

[hvfsl]

The new slim 15inch has my eye, but it all depends on whether I can get it with a 500GB SSD for around £2000. Otherwise I will go for one of old design 15inch.

Edit: Might wait until I see the prices of the Ethernet and firewire adapters too, as knowing Apple, they will be $100 each.

 

[Hidendra]

the retina MBP uses an IPS display and is 1920x1200 without Retina scaling -- so getting the new MBP is a no brainer (if you've ever used an IPS display)

 

[salacious]

the 15" retina display model is way overpriced, £1799 with only 256gb ssd? its not even configurable, to be honest this is way overpriced and I'm disappointed, the screen cannot possibly contribute to that price point? i mean everything is flash, but to me i don't see how this price point is properly marketed?

a more reasonable fee would have been £1399.

 

[odinsride]

As much as I want the new Retina MBP, I don't really need it. My Mid-2010 15" MBP is serving me just fine with 8gb ram and an SSD.

No, I'm not, because I am planning to buy something in the next few months. I'm just not sure what. Though I suppose you are correct as it is.
