1 - the small minority of professionals who need this sort of hardware, which are mostly graphic designers, photographers, and videographers. 2 - people who value a $2500 computer as a status symbol.UPDATE 4/21/2014: Another thing I noticed recently while traveling is the power brick is big. A lot more cumbersome than my Sony one. This might be related too but the mac does charge impressively fast.
Here is the deal, we are now in 2014. This computer's LCD only displays about 67% of the Adobe RGB color space. And, you can only see 8 bit color!! For this price tag it's simply ridiculous. For those photographers and graphic designers that have worked in a 10 bit color space and have high end monitors ( such as NEC, EIZO, Lacie) displaying 98% of Adobe RGB, this is a major downgrade... By that I mean, going from about 1 billion colors to 16.7 million.
They feel better in hand than anything else. The wear and tear is less than anything else. Though it must be said, aluminum scratches and gouges easily, however that can be said of plastic too. When you pick this thing up, it's extremely light, but also manages to feel SO sturdy. There's no flexing, creaking, etc.3) Apps. This is purely personal. Everyone feels different about operating systems, applications, how they like to do their work on a computer. OS X just works better than any version of Windows I've ever used.
The construction is classic Apple and everything works well. The keyboard and trackpad are particularly amazing.If I were to do it again I would probably get the 13 inch version of this with a 256gb hard drive and 8gb of ram and save myself a thousand bucks. If you're on any sort of budget, even that may be a waste of money for similar reasons. Then the decision would be tough because you could get a macbook air, but the screen that comes with it is really weak compared to the Windows competition.In the end I think this computer is a good buy for 2 groups of people.
I stayed away from the MacBooks for years, because they seemed to be overpriced inferior laptops to me. When the Retina version of this laptop came out, the MacBook finally had something the competitors didn't have - the most gorgeous screen I have ever seen on a laptop.Something that wasn't clear to me before purchase is how light and thin this laptop is compared to similarly equipped laptops. The thickness of this laptop is amazing. It's thinner than my 4th Generation Ipad in a leather case. Albeit, a little bit heavier.You'll definitely want a lap desk if you use this thing on your lap to watch video or play games, because it gets VERY hot.
I finally bought my first MB in 2006 when i graduated college and it was worth it. My gf actually has my laptop from back in 2006 and it runs amazing. She hasn't even upgraded any parts in it other than the battery. It ran better than my buddies new laptop that he purchased ( actually went through three) in the time frame of 2006-2014. Mac now has my money and support because whatever they put out is just near perfection. This laptop is a fine example of that. The price is up there with other premium laptops and yes i do hate how this sweet computer doesn't have an Nvidia GTX card but the Nvidia GT card will do.
I bought the late 2013 model with 512GB "SSD" (ME294LL/A). It's slimmer than its predecessors, and with more powerful CPU. I am able to run a 4K display and another 1080p external monitor smoothly without any problems. 16GB RAM is good but I wish for opportunity to upgrade to 32GB as I run virtual machines. Same with upgradable storage. That's the only reason I deduct one star as I really hate a premium laptop that costs $2500 to be limited on any kind of typical upgrades.
I am the owner of a Macbook Pro 15 Retina Display LATE 2013, GT750M, 16GB ram, 512SSD, i7 2.3ghz. Seems great, doesn't it? But not for games. * The COMBINATION of Intel i7 processor + Nvidia gt750m produces more heat than the notebook can dissipated so the keyboard becomes too hot when used for gaming, and close to the screen gets as hot that you could burn yourself (not kidding). It also has a very bad performance for gaming in MacOSX and Windows. I could not play Valve's Dota 2 without too much lag even in lower settings.
I've been a MacBook Pro user since 2000, upgrading ever 3-4 years over that period. The Late 2013 Retina model is my newest acquisition, and I've been completely happy with it on every front. The most significant change for me compared to my late 2011 17&#34; MacBook Pro is the weight. I didn't think it would be that huge of a difference, but it's a massive change. That alone made the upgrade totally worth it, not even considering the graphics and processing power upgrades. If you're still using a laptop without a SSD, I highly recommend the swap.
Answer: 2013
