Hi Andrew, No a retina display mbp would have no advantage to you. The only advantages it has to a blind person is its thinner, and has ssd storage which is way faster. The non-retina mbp's on the other hand can have much more on-board storage, if that's important to you... You can buy something called a optibay from MCE technologies which can put as much as a 2tb hard drive in the slot where the dvd drive is now. Hope this helps! Jeff
