Hello Guys
I bought MPB Retina 13 in february this year
but eventually i see that there are many freezing in safari(when many tabs are open) and applications
4GB is not enough((memory tools shows 90-98% load memory)
But upgrade RAM in MBP Retina 13 is impossible
I think to sell this one and buy MBP Retina 13 with 8 GB RAM or waiting MBA with Retina if it would have 8GB RAM
What you advise?

Sincerely

What does your Activity Monitor look like? How about memory pressure?

You can't go purely by used memory.

Apple uses the RAM to cache recently and often used files. That's why it's always great to have as much memory as you can have.
 
I just recently went from a MBA with 4 gigs of ram to a rMBP with 16. There is a huge difference in performance if you are doing intensive stuff. I find that the sweet spot is 8 gigs of ram. The main reason I have 16 is for the VMs I run.
