15" MacBook Pros do not have a numpad, but it sounds like you don't want that price range.
- dman 13y agoMoney is one factor. The other factor is that I dont want a retina-esque screen right now since I will be running linux on it and kde and chrome's support for hidipi screens is not great right now.
- TheSoftwareGuy 13y agoMan that sucks. Almost every one of this guy's gripes are non-existant on a Mac.
- dman 13y agoI want to run linux - retina displays don't work well with it. If I could make do with OSX I agree the MacBook Pro 15 would be nice (save for the location of the power button)
- bashinator 13y agoIf you're not tied to the idea of running native, I'm running various linuxes in VMWare Fusion on my MPB and full-screen mode works perfectly. The only thing you might find annoying is the lack of middle-click for pasting selections when using the touchpad.
- m_mueller 13y agoThey still sell 15'' Macbooks without Retina.
- _delirium 13y agoI believe that was discontinued in the October 2013 refresh. Unless I'm missing options hidden somewhere else, Apple has a summary here of all their current laptop form factors here: http://store.apple.com/us/mac/compare http://store.apple.com/us/mac/compare It looks like the current options are: 11" and 13" non-retina MacBook Air 13" non-retina MacBook Pro 13" and 15" retina MacBook Pro
- m_mueller 13y agoOk sorry about that - I saw one a few days ago in an electronics store but it was labeled as 'remainder'. I wish Apple made a matte retina macbook - made discontinuing the old 15'' will put some pressure on them doing so.
- keypusher 13y agoYou think it's going to look worse on higher pixel density?
- dman 13y agoYes I know that it does because I own a Chromebook pixel that I run linux on.
- chiph 13y agoThe new rMBP have a different keyboard weakness -- the power switch is right above the Delete key, and has no protection against accidental presses.
