So first off, my mac has sustained, well, a darn beating. It has had its fights, but I figure, it's time for it to go. So here I stand, and have to choose,wether to go for the retina, or go with the regular pro?
I won't list the specs cause they are already known, my options are:
To, either, buy the retina (low-end) OR buy the regular pro (High-End) (And upgrade to 128 SSD cause 5400rpm is BS
) - Cause that is my budget
Anywho, i'll be surfing and watching movies. OCASIONALLY play some league of legends. I am the kind of type that has several youtube-links, FB, News, etc. running at the same time. And I demand the computer to run smoothly! so, that being said
I am torn between the retina and the pro ( let's just differenciate them there, I know it's wrong, but you get my point).
The high-end pro has some nice specs, i7, 8gb, and in my case 128SSD storage, which is decent. (keep in mind, I have and external HDD with 500 gigs so it would cover me )
I HAVE to agree, the retina is overpriced, but still... it's freakin' tempting to buy one. eventhough it's kinda "underspeced" for the price.
I have heard that there are some bugs, like scrolling lag etc, how "bad" are they?
is there a noticeable difference between the i7 (which would be in the pro) and the i5 in the retina? will they "handle" league of legends? which one is "best" for my use? I will buy one eventually, just don't know which I should choose. Help is MUCH appreciated
If somebody had the knowledge just to bring it down, side by side (for my use) that would be amazing!
I don't want a 15'' cause I already have a powerfull laptop (ASUS G53SX), I just need something to replace my old MacBook 13''
Peace, from Norway ;D
