rMBP to MacBook

[Maclver]

thinking about selling my 2013 Retina MacBook Pro 15". I'm looking for something more portable, I mainly use Internet, music, movies, school work.

Has anyone made this switch and liked it or regretted it?

I've got an 11" Mba and a 13" mb still along side my 2015 mb and the weight savings alone are a massive gain.

For what your demanding from it you'll have no issues.

macbook is a thinner and lighter computer

I just wonder how much of a shock the screen size difference will be

Do you not have a local Apple Store, Best Buy or other electrical retailer to go have a hands on?

I have a 2013 rMBP 15" and just recently got a rMB. I opted for the 1.2 with 512gb. The rMBP had 512gb, and while I still have it for task such as encoding, playing graphics intense games, ect.., I may sell it. I almost never use it anymore since I prefer to use the rMB. The screen size has not really affected me, since I used the rMBP plugged into a 27" Cinema Display most of the time, so I just feel like i'm on a big iPad. I needed something more portable for school, and lugging the 15" rMBP around was not easy. Taking the rMB with me every day is not any more difficult than an iPad, yet far more useful. I love it! I'm just waiting on HUB+ to release their dock for the rMB so I can hook it up to the Cinema Display, then I will really have few uses left for the rMBP.

The only thing I tried was Sims 3. It was playable, but rotating the world had some hesitation, and it had issues rendering the distant neighborhood through the window of my Sims house. I'm going to try and see how SimCity 4 runs on it. I think that will be more of an issue. With Sims 3 I had to put the graphics on low - medium for it to be playable. On the rMBP all graphics are on high or ultra high.
