Are you considering to buy one of the latest updated MacBook Pro models that were announced earlier this week? If so how does the 2.3GHz 16GB RAM 256GB SSD for $2,400 sound? According to the folks over at Gizmodo who had done a review of the new MacBook Pro 2012 models, it is the one most consumers should consider.

So why should you purchase this MacBook Pro Retina model and pay out more than two thousand dollars for the pleasure?
One of the reasons is that SSD storage is great but it is also expensive. However do you really need a lot of space when there are plenty of cloud storage options out there? Cloud storage is excellent and makes good use of 4G dongles and tethered LTE phones. When it comes to playing movies from downloaded torrent files or music you may as well just put them on a USB 3 external drive as drives that spin are actually faster than the SSD for any mass media archives.
Then there is RAM, well for $200 the jump up from the 8GB offered by the MacBook Air to the 16GB on the MacBook Pro Retina model is a good deal. After all memory is one that you should never sacrifice when using a laptop every day.
Professional users may not mind the lack of the optical drive but what about the Ethernet port? Of course you could go all out and get the 2.7GHz 16GB RAM with 768GB SDD, suggests Giz. Apple’s mark-ups may have been lacking in the past, but now they are very much in line with the markets of today. $500 for the jump to a 768GB internal SSD storage, what do you think. Is it worth it? Of course if money is something you have to consider then you could always choose to drop back to 2.7GHz for $3500 which saves you $250 for adding in the 0.1GHz upgrade.
While the 2.3GHz MacBook Pro Retina model is the most recommended, whichever of the laptops with Retina Display you choose to go for, be prepared to wait for around three to four weeks before you get it.
