#2012 MACBOOK PRO I7 UPGRADE#

However, it has the slower i5 processor, and you can't upgrade the RAM after buying it, as the RAM cards are soldered on to the motherboard. The 13' MacBook Pro with the Retina Display is much thinner and lighter, has that fantastic display(It really does make a difference) and comes standard with a 128GB flash drive. If you upgrade to a flash drive, it'll be even better. But for about 80% of users, it'll do just fine. Although you might want to upgrade to a quad-core Retina Display equipped 15' MacBook Pro if you actually are a pro user who depends on your laptop to earn money. Call of Duty: Black Ops, AutoCAD, Formula 1 2012, Final Cut Pro, Adobe Creative Studio, Aperture, this will handle it all with ease. The 8GB RAM which comes as standard helps as well. What it actually means is that I never struggle to run any application or game. All I know is, bigger the number, the better. It's good isn't it? If you don't understand what these numbers mean, join the club. I ran a few GeekBench tests, and this is what happened.

The processor is impressive(2.9GHz Intel Core i7), and at the time of launch, this has the fastest dual-core processor. But even without the flash drive, it is very fast. Apple will not let you exchange your hard drive for a flash drive either, which is a bit unfair. I didn't opt for the flash drive, because Apple took all my money away after I bought the laptop. It has a 750 GB hard drive, and although it nice to have a big hard drive, I'd rather opt for the optional smaller capacity flash drive.

In a hypothetical laptop drag race, it will do quite well. Now to simplify the naming, Apple should have taken Prosche's lead and called the i5 model, 'Standard', and the i7 model 'TURBO V RACING ROCKET FAST TURBO!!!!!!'. On standard configuration, one has 4GB RAM, Intel 2.5 GHz i5 processor, and other one has 8GB RAM, and Intel 2.9GHz i7 processor. The non retina display model has 2 variations. The one I will be reviewing is the non retina display one. 1 retina display equipped model, and 2 non retina ones.

And with names like Turbo, Carrera, and so on, models can be differentiated. The MacBook Pro 13' series has 3 models. By giving codenames like '991', and '997', generations can be differentiated. Spell something wrong, or say some words in the wrong order, and you get a completely different laptop. So it's a nightmare to pinpoint the version you actually want. And just like the 911, the MacBook has around billion variations. Just like the 911, the MacBook evolves generation by generation, never radically changing its design. So it has to have a different name corresponding to the launch date to differentiate from it's predecessors. The official name for this laptop is 'MacBook Pro 13' Mid 2012 i7'. This is because Apple launches a new MacBook every Tuesday or something. First off, the biggest flaw with this laptop is the name.
