My decision over which MacBook Pro to invest my hard-earned cash into took a bit of careful thought. I had to weigh out features versus cost versus being as future proof as possible since I want my investment to go as far as possible and give me the best bang for buck from Apple’s current offerings. In the end, portability made the choice of 13″ a given, but then the question remained, ‘retina or non-retina?’

Tech enthusiasts like to stay current with their technology, especially their computers. Alas, with a mortgage and bills to pay, it’s easier said than done to stay up to date these days. I’ve only just got myself an iPhone 5s after upgrading from an iPhone 3G, and am currently working on an early 2008 24″ iMac. It’s not bad, does enough of what I need it to do without choking too much, but there are occasions where it’ll struggle or hang when I’ve got a few apps running at the same time as playing some music or streaming a video. It’s also a desktop, which prevents me being mobile and while I don’t often need to carry a computer around with me these days, I find myself missing the freedom to sit on the sofa or in bed with my laptop when I want to be lazy or change up my scenery a little. I’ve been using my late 2007 white MacBook to allow me this option, but it struggles even worse than the iMac does. The solution to all of this?
