They are extremely pricey laptops - but the hardware can stand to be improved a lot.
- glesica 14y agoDon't you think "Pro" is more of a marketing term at this point than an actual description of the intended use or target customer? Not to belittle Apple, either, every company does this sort of thing.

- LordIllidan 14y agoYou certainly can do this - I would have liked the 7200rpm or even a SSD drive to be included on the base models though.
- stock_toaster 14y agoYou and me both. ;) I am hoping future hardware refreshes round out the baseline systems a bit more nicely, especially on the retina models.
- LordIllidan 13y agoI'm also not too satisfied with the 4GB default on the MBP - I needed to upgrade to 16GB to work properly. Getting a 16GB MBP from Apple, however, proved to be more exp then getting a 4GB and upgrading it manually to 16GB vengeance ddr3 ram. (best upgrade I ever did)
