Unless you bought it used and/or off contract, why did you choose an old phone?

I just bought a 120GB SSD online this past weekend, so I'm gonna use that alongside the stock 500GB HDD for my MBP. Cant wait for it to come, 2 hard drives FTW  yo let me know what you think of the ssd. I'm definitely thinking of getting one. |

traves there's a bunch of youtube videos with side-by-side comparisons between various SSDs and HDDs if you need swaying. Even lower tiered SSDs blow 7200RPM HDD's out the water. You should get one.

Oh, and the retina display is awesome. I had a four year old pro before this, and its almost embarrassingly bad compared to this.
My old pro was decked out too.. This one not quite as much, but still nice.

I need to carry it around, and didn't want to lug the 15 around on the bus and subway. In retrospect, the new ones are so light it probably wouldn't have been a big deal. But the 13 was a little cheaper anyway. I did my best to max out what I could. Cost about $2300. |

Although I played starcraft on here the other day, and it looked pretty good. Somewhere between a hundred and a million times better than it did on my old computer.

It's onboard graphics, they've gotten better, but it's still never as good as a graphics card. The onboard graphics shares memory whereas a graphics card will have dedicated memory. But for everyday use, standard use, yeah the onboard is fine. I need more.

Since I got my current MBP for so cheap I might switch to the retina once the new haswell MBP's come out
More pixels are always better

But for everyday use, standard use, yeah the onboard is fine. I need more. As I said, I just need it for school and a small amount of starcraft or Diablo whenever I'm either super stoned or really bored. I am moving around so much right now with work and school that I needed something better than my iPad to bring around with me. My old 15" was far to cumbersome for everyday use, especially for carrying around all day. I would have loved to get a better graphics card, but sacrifices had to be made. |

The retina display is sick. I've been out of the US for too long, so I really had no idea how good it was. We don't have commercials here talking it up. The retina just came out here, I think less than two months ago. I only knew one person with it.

Heh the new 15 in weighs like 4lbs and is super thin. I take it to class all the time |
