All I can say is that I have a 13" MBP Retina 2.6GHz i5 (April 2014)
with 1Tb SSD and 16Gb RAM and its amazing - and also very quiet.
For most things, its 2-3 times faster that my old (version 1) Mac Pro
that had Quad Xeon processors in it.
Connected up to a 27" Thunderbolt screen I'm very pleased with my new setup.

Hello SMUGgers,
My early 2009 MBP looks to be on the way out. There's a recurrent
problem that I think will prove to be the logic board so that will be
that.
So, I'm looking at replacements. I'd like to buy one new from Apple
and max it out (dual ssd, max RAM). From what I can see of the
Retinas, they all seem to have been put together with big blobs of
solder, effectively stopping RAM upgrades, and with a proprietorial
SSD, for which there is currently no after-market alternative.
But they do still offer for sale the last of the non-retina MBP. Is
this as upgradable as I need? If so, it looks like I should snap one
up now before they are discontinued.
What does SMUG think? Is it worth embracing the Retina and paying
everything up front. Or is the last of the non-Retinas a good move in
the situation?
Cheers
Darren
