Call me crazy, but I just spent 3k on a MacBook Pro Retina

If you do see changes you will have 14 days to return so it's all good!

 

oh, stop trying to kid yourself, you should've waited

 

Yep, I have to agree.

 

Well, you'll know on Monday whether or not to return it for what's new.

 

its 300 dollars more to jump from 256GB to 512GB SSD, you found that worth it?>

 

Whatever lets you sleep at night, wwdc is only 1 week away

 

It's one thing needing a laptop now, but it sounds like you just didn't want to wait. Since the refresh is 6 dys away, that seems more silly than purposeful.

 

yes i found it hard to sleep since i camped here all day long, damn Apple just release the specs already.

 

Not to mention that the model you've just bought will be cheaper after the introduction of the new one, if there is one.

 

well he can always return it since its still under the 14-day return window...
i don't see a problem here?

 

Buying something, then returning it within two weeks just to buy the same thing again for $150 less doesn't seem too convenient to me.

 

who says its gonanbe 150 less LOL

 

- wrong post sorry -

 

Well, give me your estimate for June 18th on a Early-2013 2.7GHz, 512GB SSD, 16GB RAM 15" MacBook Pro with Retina Display.

 

same price?

i don't think they would actually make another price drop since they just did a few months ago?

 

That is a good choice. I don't see OWCs options for the rmbp becoming that cheap. I don't bother with the fastest notebook cpus. Notebooks often throttle. I don't see a lot of difference in sustained performance there. The 2.3 and 2.6 seem to be the same chip clocked out. I'm not sure about the 2.7, but the difference between those 3 seems trivial overall. I cannot think of many tasks where one would choke and another would be suitable.

 

No, it will go down in price, because if they release updated 15", how are they going to sell the old one and the new one for the same price? They wont lol.

 

Just enjoy it!

Don't pay attention OP, you bought an amazing Mac, even if it gets updated one week from now, you'll still have an amazing Mac.

True you can return it next week, or not. If you do return it to order something else, say a new rMBP. How long will you have to wait to get it?

Anyway, if you're happy with your purchase, enjoy!

 

Not crazy. If you need it now, you buy it now. If you see no reason to wait, then buy it now. Shouldn't care what a bunch of anonymous Internet peeps think about your decision. If you're happy with it, then to hell with all of us.

 

i stopped believing processor clockspeed.
sure you can get more 0.4ghz but the performance is almost negligible in daily tasks, better spend those on increasing the RAM

 

also recent new purchase

my old macbook died hard on me suddenly and i had to buy a new one two weeks ago so yes im out of the window already, but i can say i didnt buy into the hype of retina i stuck with my trusty 15 anti glare with top of the line specs, i do plan on going 16 gbs ram and a 500gbish SSD later which i wouldnt be able to do with a retina so for me it was a easy choice!

 

I wasn't just referring to daily tasks. I was referring to actual performance differences between the two specs where they're both pushed as hard as possible. Outside of benchmarks, the differences rarely add up. Restricting the discussion to notebooks only, your real gains are moving from dual to quad core. Beyond that performance gains tend to be outpaced by price. On the 2.3 vs 2.6, intel lists the same recommended customer pricing on both.
