Wait a moment. The macbook pros non retina are still being sold I have the 2012 model and it has a dvd drive as well. I'm perfectly happy with it, i have easily upgraded the ram from 4 gb ram to 8 gb ram. You can also upgrade to an ssd. I had the macbook air 2012 and it was nice but i honestly wasn't happy with the performance of it. I know i'm not your average consumer but there are my thoughts on it. GOod luck and no matter what decision you make will be a quality and wonderful experience. On Feb 2, 2013, at 8:00 AM, Ray Foret Jr <[email protected]> wrote:
