If you spend the extra $300 on the more expensive MacBook Pro you get the following: - a faster processor (2.53GHz vs. 2.26GHz) - more memory (4GB vs. 2GB) - bigger hard disk (250GB vs. 160GB) These are all desirable things, however you can do the memory and hard disk upgrades yourself (probably for less than $300). It involves removing the bottom panel (something like a dozen screws) and replacing the hardware. I have not done it myself yet, but it does not look too difficult. I plan to wait for SSD and 8GB RAM prices to drop. The processor is about 11.2% faster, and I doubt that can be upgraded later. However, for me 11.2% is not a significant difference. The faster processor also generates more heat and uses more battery power, so it's a trade off. You could also increase performance with a faster hard drive, but that too would eat into the battery life (which is why I am waiting for the solid state drive prices to drop). Snow Leopard promises to run more efficiently than Leopard, so be sure to sign up for the Snow Leopard up-to-date program so you'll get the latest software when it comes out in September (it's a $10 fee). AppleCare is like an extended warranty. I believe you have up to a year after your initial purchase to sign up for it. It gives you an extra 2 years of service coverage and continues your telephone support after the initial 90 days. I am more of a do-it-yourself guy, so I didn't consider it, but it would be nice knowing you are covered. I bought it for my Mac Mini, but I never used it.

Hi. No it isn't. That's why it's much cheaper. It's a great computer though. I hope this helps.

I bought mine too in 2013 macbook pro 13, the thing you need to look is the model number below your mac should read 'Model No. A1278'.

Ivy Bridge processors are coming out in a few days. They will hit Macs in June/July.I was considering an all-in-one but I'll wait for the refresh. Who knows, I might go for a Macbook Pro instead.

It seems that Toshiba has provided a major price drop for this computer. The new price is $749

Why do you say that? It is the 13.3 inch Retina Display MacBook Pro. There actually is NO newer version out there than this. Unless you are talking about the upgraded Ram or processor? This is the "Newest" Version of this particular combination of RAM, Processor, and Storage.

I bought mine through Apple, so I customized it with 256GB of storage. I paid $1629, with the student discount, so if it's much lower then that, I'd say it's the 128GB version. Anyway, I'd trust the product description, if it says 128GB, that's what it is.

Hello,Yes, whatever the title says for specs, that is what you should get. This machine originally shipped from Apple with 1Gb ram and a 120GB hard drive, but since has been upgraded with more ram and a larger hard drive. Thanks, Chris Betamacs

Because the 256GB i7 version is on sale. Think of it as a promo price. The normal price of the 128GB i5 is $1299, and the normal price of the 256GB i7 is $1599. The 256GB i7 is just on sale at the moment, whereas the 128GB i5 is not.

This unit has the newest I 7 processor that just came out this year. The lower priced unit does not. I was at the apple store before i came to this site. I am considering upgrading and have been paying close attention. From what I have seen that new processor is worth the money.

I actually haven't even used mine for a year and got another one. It runs perfect just like new. I Had it reset from the apple store.

Edward,You're very welcome. I ordered it straightly from Amazon one week and a half ago when it was $949. General impression about it - I love it! It is super fast. My previous laptop was based on Core 2 Duo (2 GB RAM) and the difference in speed is very noticeable.

I'm about to become a switcher (purchasing a macbook for my wife and an imac for myself) so i don't know first-hand, but as far as i've heard, the bottom line is -as usual- the use you'll have for the laptop: Unless you need heavy graphic capabilities (the GPU and the screensize, both for video editing, 3D gaming, etc), i'd say a macbook, not a macbook pro. You can upgrade RAM and HardDisk and have excellent performance without the macbook pro's high price. Hope this helps :)

Google i7 vs i5 for differences. Mac makes them with I7, Amazon just doesn't carry them

Hi I just received the computer (2gig). I bought MAC compatible 2x2gig memory from newegg.com for about $96 (incl. shipping). Opening the back panel was pretty easy (you do need #00 philips driver). It took literally less than 5 minutes to do it.
