MacBook Air 13" FNB deal

[HApyM3al]

That's the thing, a Retina Pro is about 15 - 20% overall bigger/heavier; in some parts the dimensions are the same, and in other parts it's even slimmer. Far more power - literally double RAM and CPU. Iris graphics FTW too.

running the fnb deal - ME865 - rmbp 256gb/8gb. perfect for my usage. personally not enough storage. want to run parallels (win8). next time 512 one rather. would like 16gb ram though.

stroking more than once is playing haha.

im running parallel off a external. if all goes to plan I want to upgrade the storage some time soon (so can boot camp and parallels) . 8gb ram is ok for now.

did you folks see ssd improvements on 2015 models?

if not :http://www.techspot.com/news/60137-refreshed-macbook-pro-pcie-30-x4-storage-system.html

from the mere 700MBps to only 1400MBps hahaha

I've had a late 2012 and late 2013 rMBP (current), biggest difference for me was onboard graphics. HD 4000 vs Iris. Although I'm sure the SSD is better in the newer one.

would still like bit better gpu in. But I understand that they keep this for more higher end units.

Both perfect for some Starcraft 2, Diablo 3, Minecraft, etc.

I game at lower resolutions to get more out of the GPU.

Ended up getting the mba 13. Still getting use to the change but don't regret the purchase.
