cmbp 15 or rmbp 15?

[jack2wai2]

Currently in dilemma on which mbp to purchase...

I miss ssd on rmbp, but if i upgrade the cmbp to with ssd, it will be a pain in ass. What should I do?

If you have the funds, then rMBP.
Else, get the cMBP and upgrade it whenever you can.

The only reason to buy the rMBP is if you need the hi Rez screen,,every thing else is insignificant. Sure thinner and a bit lighter, the the upgradability of the cMBP is what sold me. I upgraded ram to 16g for $100 (OWC), and you can get even cheaper on ram with newegg and amazon. Ordered Samsung 830 256 SsD today for $189. Plus optical drive or place for second SSD or HD,

Good Luke with your decision. It took me weeks to decide!


The standard screen on the cMBP , to me any ways is amazing.
