Retina Macbook Pro Early 2013 vs Late 2013? Need help deciding.
Alright,
This will be my first Macbook I will be buying. I chose macbook, because it will be a lot usefull for school and later on in the future. I'm expecting to last this laptop for a very long time. I was going to buy the Late 2013 Retina 13 INCH macbook pro Iris graphics, because it was the newset model with the latest graphic card.
After a lot of reading online, and on the apple discussion place, I've seen a lot of people with faults with their MacBook pro Iris. Apple just released an update to fix it but yet some users are having problems and the issue still shows up on the console. I know the newer(late 2013) macbook pro is obviously better than the old one, but I don't want to regret my decision in the future. I want the laptop to last me quite a good few years. The older one doesn't seem to have much problems, but it just has older graphics which. As far as I know Intel Iris is WAY better than the HD 4000. The price difference from where I'm going to be buying the macbook is less than 10$. The Late and Early 2013 Both cost the same here. I just need some opinions on which one i should get. I'm thinking on playing it safe and getting the older one with HD 4000, but the Iris one is still there for the same price pretty much, but I don't want a faulty unit, that won't last me long and won't work good despite havign better specifications.
I hope I can get some good feedback on this helping me decide which one to buy.
(Things to note: Where I live there is no apple store, just an apple authorised retailer)
Thanks,
Jai
