Honestly, I had the original rMBP and had the terrible LG display swapped for a Samsung. I was cool without upgrading, but the problem I have is that all of my multimedia won’t fit on the machine. Stretching photo and music libraries across externals and stuff just becomes a logistical nightmare when considering redundancy.
So, for storage costs alone, I went for the latest machine with the new 1TB SSD option. It hurt a little to upgrade so quickly, but given the insane costs of replacing an SSD under warranty, when one fails I figure it’s cheaper than upgrading mine to a larger third-party one.
- dublinben 13y agoDo you really need hundreds of GB of multimedia on your SSD at all times? When I got my first 60 GB SSD, it was painful, but cloud services are so much better these days. You can even get huge portable HDDs for hardly anything now.
- untog 13y agoI solved that by having a NAS at home with multiple disks in it. A lot cheaper. I just copy whatever I want on my laptop when I'm away from home.
