For those of you who choose Pros over Airs; why does a Pro serve you better than an Air? Is it because it's your only machine, and you need the hardware to be beefy?
Am I right in thinking you need to buy the top ($2500) model if you want to do any CUDA work? Or am I misreading the table and all the MBP models have both the Intel and nvidia GPUs?
I'm seriously wondering what my upgrade path is supposed to be. I have an ancient 2011 15" MBP, which was also the last user-upgradeable Apple laptop ever, but I remain hesitant to buy a new model. There is just not enough storage in the new ones, or in models that come close to my old one (1TB+) it's prohibitively expensive. At some point soon, my old MBP will probably disintegrate or get stolen, and it has features…

Isn't the SSD soldered to the board now? Do the new models even have SATA connectors? Do normal drives even fit in that slim enclosure? I'm not even certain if the RAM is upgradeable anymore, are you sure about this?
wow, I bought one less then a week ago for £2200 and now it costs £1999 and has more stuff... did I just gifted them £200 or if I complain I might at least get the new model? EDIT: thanks all, yes I remember asking the return policy is 14 days. I will do that.

> Replacing the HDD in MBPs is really easy to do. So you do what you should do with most Apple products if you're technically competent. Buy the minimum spec for memory and storage and upgrade it aftermarket. Isn't the SSD soldered to the board now? Do the new models even have SATA connectors?

I am just slowly starting to consider getting another laptop in 2015, but the fact that the new line of MBP adhere to the soldered-on-and-force-obsolescence philosophy is really putting me off this purchase.
