I feared Apple would restrict the options on the Macbook Pro 13'. It appears we can not choose to upgrade the memory to 16 GB. And we are limited with an i5 core processor unless we jump up to 2.9 ghz. Why apple why? I've been waiting to buy this new laptop, but I want the additional memory. I want the portablity and power. What good is a 2.9 quad core going to do me with only 8 GB memory. Let me upgrade for $100 bucks already and I'm ordering. I don't want the 15'' because I want the lightest possible with most power. Why limit us Apple? Why?? i do hope that in a few days, the option gets added for more memory like you did when you rolled out your Retina display 15' a few months ago. SO, I can't order now...dang it!!

I seee, ok so not only can we not get the 16 GB ram for the 13' macbook pro retina, it does not have the dedicated graphics card either. SO honestly, if I intend to do such work, i guess I'm forced to get the 15.

An all new Retina version of the MacBook Pro 13″ has been released. Starting at $1699, it’s available beginning today, October 23, and it’s quite a powerhouse in a surprisingly lightweight package. Here are the base model specs:

Base Specs

13.3″ Retina IPS display at 2560×1600 resolution
2.5GHz Core i5 CPU or greater
8GB RAM, upgradeable to 16GB via build-to-order
128GB or larger SSD
Intel HD 4000 GPU
7 hour battery life
Unibody aluminum enclosure
HDMI, SD Card reader, USB 3.0 ports
FaceTime HD camera
Backlit keyboard
3.5lbs
0.75″ thin, 20% thinner than prior model

Of course there will be build-to-order options, and other variations will be available in the following configurations.

Retina MacBook Pro 13″ Models & Pricing

Base: 2.5GHz Core i5, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD – $1699
Mid: 2.5GHz Core i5, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD
Upper: 2.9GHz Core i7, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD

The original non-retina MacBook Pro 13″ still remains in Apple’s lineup, though it’s clear that the thinner, lighter, more powerful retina versions are the future of the MacBook Pro. If you’re in the market for a new Mac and can afford the difference in pricing, get the retina model.

I'm being pulled in a few different directions after yesterday's announcements of new models. There's quite a saving by going for the 13", which is kinda tempting, especially since the 768Gb flash storage is available, but that 15" still has all kinds of positives going for it. Then again, there's that beautiful new iMac. The $800 saving on the 13" would make the iMac a no brainer as a new home computer.

Decisions, decisions...
