New Mac Book Pro vs Old MBP
1323383
i have a 17 inch Macbook Pro(think its the 2nd most recent generation) & a new 15.4 inch Macbook Pro. (i dont need both so my neice gets the older one for school). I love them both! The main difference (to me at least) is the new one has a much brighter crisper display. A problem tho is a little reflection from the illuminated keyboard on the glossy screen. Not a dealbreak but annoying. Still not sure if i prefer the new b/w design or the old all silver. Well thats personal taste of course. Oh & the keyboard is softer(thats good!) to the touch onthe newer one. I think youll be happy with either&(as Macs are so pricey) maybe go with the older if you get a good deal! hope this helps, jon

I do not have a Mac book pro, but I can tell you the device has not worked with my iPhone.

Yesterday (10/22/13), Apple announced they were bringing to market several brand new models of the MacBookPro. The newest 13&#8209;inch Retina Display model is lighter, more powerful, with a longer battery life and now starts at $1299.00. Go to http://www.apple.com/macbook-pro to learn more.

I just got my MBP. It had 10.4 Tiger but iLife 08. I ordered Leopard through Apple for ten bucks.

I'm about to become a switcher (purchasing a macbook for my wife and an imac for myself) so i don't know first-hand, but as far as i've heard, the bottom line is -as usual- the use you'll have for the laptop: Unless you need heavy graphic capabilities (the GPU and the screensize, both for video editing, 3D gaming, etc), i'd say a macbook, not a macbook pro. You can upgrade RAM and HardDisk and have excellent performance without the macbook pro's high price. Hope this helps :)

If you haven't discovered yet, you should be looking at the macbooks with a "/b" appended to the model number. These are listed separately at amazon and have the latest software and cpu. An example would be MB061LL/B.

Thank you all for the replies. That really cleared most of my concern. Now I'm trying to decide between Macbook Air and Macbook Pro. I still prefer macbook air because of the weight (thanks for bringing up the heavy textbooks factor:). however if it turns out Windows software is necessary, i might be interested in a macbook that's easier to setup two os. From what I heard so far, macbook air would be a headache to do that because of the lack of DVD/CD rom. I still have a lot of time before making the final decision though. Thanks again for your inputs.

I just went with the old (early 08') macbook...not even the macbook pro. It has firewire, plus you can get a faster chip for much less. the 13.3" screen is not as small as you might think. If you want to spend more money then I feel that either of the macbook pro's are excellent choices.

If I remember correctly when I ordered the case one of the prompt questions did ask with or with out retina display. Their must be a difference maybe the overall thickness of the mac book pro is different with of without retina vision. I'm not entirely sure?

Removing the DVD drive was a size and space issue for Apple, I believe; the retina version is smaller and lighter. You can use small thumbnail drives in place of the DVD, for most functions. The retina unit is much faster, and has a much more vibrant and vivid screen. I never had the older version, so can't compare, but I do have two iMacs, and the MacBook Pro with retina screen is a much better machine.

Hi thereSorry it took so long to respond. But I have the mac book pro model that is right before the release of the MBP with retina display. The case is for an older model of MBP then mine, however it still fits the shape of the 15''. There are somethings that are off, like the SD card reader is in a does not match up, which is the only thing that I notice. It fits the shape great, I am not worried of the case coming off at all. Over all I am very pleased with this product. I have been searching for this exact perforated case in black that fits the 15'' MBP and I am very happy that I found this one. I'm sure that it will fit the MBP 15'' Retina Display as well too. Hope this helps. Hi thereSorry it took so long to respond.

No. IT doesn't Work good. Neither with a Modern mac book pro. Year 2012. I had to take IT of my laptop.

There are third party TRIM Enablers that work with it if needed. But if you have an older MAC this drive was said to be running slow. Also new MAC's are said to be coming out with software that checks the hard drive for 3rd party drivers and prevents them from working. I don't know about that, our MAC Book Pro is only about 6 months old and it works fine without doing anything extra as a second drive.

Ah, I see what you're saying, the Technical Description says Two Dual Core. But the title says Two Quad Core, and the RAM, gfx card, and HD all correspond to the current Mac Pro. Very confusing - I'm sending more e-mails to customer service.

For me, yes it is. The Mac book pro one is slightly more strict as to where to press the keys
