Whats Included
- MacBook Pro with Retina display (Latest Model)
- MacBook Pro with Retina display (Latest Model)
A: Unless you are playing large MMO games or using photoshop cs6 youll be fine.. and if you are just get another 8gb of ram and youll be fine
Q: What are the best protective cases to get for the new MBP 13" wRetina?
A: I purchased the clear polycarbonate case by Apple at the Best Buy store. Be sure the get the one for the MAC pro 13" with the Retina display so it will fit properly.
Q: Is this the newest MacBook Pro ? Something wrong
A: It's the newest one. The Model is MF840LL/A. You can search it online. Just make sure the model is MF840LL/A when you buy it.
Q: what kind of security software do need for an apple computer?
A: The typical answer is none but I don't think that is really true anymore. I use sophos free anti-virus since there are Mac viruses. https://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/free-tools.aspx They have a whole lot more for just about any level of protection you want if you choose to upgrade. The other best practices are to use common sense when visiting websites and not to click on ANYTHING that looks suspicious. It is important to keep all your software up-to-date since there are specific exploits that come from existing programs such as Excel for Mac 2011.
A: If you use chrome as your browser on your macbook you can cast directly to your chromecast. If you want to watch movies stored on your hard drive there are chrome extensions that allow you to cast files. Videostream is the name of the one I use. There is no need for apple tv.
Q: Does this model have a DVD/CD drive ?
A: No, you have to purchase a USB DVD separately.
Q: 256 vs 128GB storage for photos
A: Buy 128gb if you need extra storage for photos, movies etc and plan on using this laptop for 2 yrs max Buy 256gb if you need space for apps and professional work, and plan on making this laptop last for 2 or more years. Either way you go, its a great investment since Apple retains its value better than most other PCs.
A: This unit will certainly edit video as good as most any computer unless you are using many effects or layers. I've used the previous generation macbook pro for editing and the SSD makes everything go a lot faster. You will need to invest in an external drive to save off the footage and also a superdrive or similar to burn the DVDs I have a combination of regular 2 TB external hard drives and 250GB SSD drives using usb 3.0 and the results are great. The unit only comes with 2 USB 3.0 ports so you might need a USB 3.0 hub at some point. I use iMovie and Final Cut Pro X depending on the complexity of the edit.
