Question Which MacBook Pro is faster ? (13" Retina 2.5GHz -HDD or 13" LED 2.9GHz - SDD )

[Jingol]

Hi every body

I have decided buy MacBook Pro

I will use MacBook for browse in Internet and sometime Photoshop

Which MacBook is faster when open 10 tab with safari and play music and edit document by office at the same time ?

MD102 or MD212 ?


MacBook Pro : MD102LL
13-inch
2.9GHz dual-core Intel Core i7
Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz
8GB 1600MHz memory
750GB 5400-rpm hard drive

OR

MacBook Pro : MD212LL
13-inch with Retina display
2.5GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
Turbo Boost up to 3.1GHz
8GB 1600MHz memory
128GB flash storage


MacBook speed with 2.9GHz dual-core Intel Core i7 processor but hard drive is better or 2.5GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 with flash storage ?

The SSD will cause you to boot up faster, and store information more efficiently, but the i7 will do better with applications and calculations. Ultimately it is which perk you want to take advantage of the most.

Why do you need to open 10 tabs at once? Naturally the SSD is faster than HD.Flash Storage is better .

Personal preference would be the non-retina i7 because:
The retina builds can't be upgraded (SSD is a custom job, RAM is soldered to the logic board).
If you get one with a Samsung Retina display they're fantastic, if you get an LG display (currently favoured by Apple) you'll hate it (ghosting issues).

Thanks a lot for advise

I had read a review that 13" rMBP took longer to display when several tab and app opened together because with no dedicated GPU and high resolution, processor must push it

It's true?

LOL Mactards are funny.

Maybe perhaps you are retarded also with this dumb crack of yours.

The official Mactard benchmark for Apple crapbook pro hipsters is if the "application" loads before the time it takes them to take a sip of their Starbucks latte after their ritualistic morning coffee enema . Will admit though that the aluminum uni body is very nice as was the A+ binned Samsung monitors that used to be included. As I said before to the OP the SSD is going to be the thing that makes all the difference that you are looking for which is ultra fast boot times and application opening and tabs etc. Fast, responsive almost intuitive OS that's what an SSD get's you like the difference between a short throw 6 speed sport manual transmission and a three speed Dodge.

What ever suits your fancy in life.

What model do you own and in what year was it made?

If you want to know how easy/difficult/impossible an upgrade is, easiest way is to look for the relevant machine teardown over on ifixit.com.
