    I just bought the non retina with 2.6 processor. Replaced the hard drive with a 256GB SSD to install all my applications and then removed the optical drive and installed a 512GB SSD. I wanted a retina, but since you can't update them down the road, I went with the Highres Screen Non Retina instead. Its really fast and have no problems running after effects and photoshop.

    • oh and I added 16GB of RAMOP31
    • all this was way cheaper then buying the Retina with simliar specs. I dont have the screen, but I'm ok with that. The computer is much fasterOP31
    • This is the same machine we bought at work. Still has Firewire which is a huge plus too.monospaced
