I would get the MacBook Pro with Retina display instead of the MacBook if the lack of ports is a concern. The current models are available here: http://www.apple.com/br/shop/buy-mac/macbook-pro?product=MF839BZ/A&step=config.

Dec 28, 2015 3:58 PMby jfedias,Wow! Really? The store said it was an early-2014 model, and I believed them due to the fact they said the MBP had 256GB SSD and Retina Display... Bummer!
The 512GB rMB would cost me R$8,369.07 whilst the 512GB rMBP (MF841BZ/A) would cost R$10,686.64.
Which one would be the best one for me?

Dec 28, 2015 4:21 PMby jfedias,The reality is that I don't really need the performance of the rMBP, but I want to buy a Mac for, at least, the next 5 years, so that's also something the makes me want to choose an option that will serve for that period.
The rMB would perfect for me but the lack of ports scares me and I'd definitely need to buy an adapter for the day-to-day use.
The difference between them, in terms of price, would be approximatelly US$500.00, or R$2,000.00, which is a lot, all things considered.
Do you think the rMB would continue to be useful, with the MacOS updates, 5yrs from now?

I travel extensively and the Apple adapter for the single port really ended up working as an advantage for me. The adapter just becomes part of the power cord and adds flexibility when I have something plugged into it. The more I use my rMB, the more impressed with it I have become. If you fly a lot, the portability can't be beat and again, the adapter is really a non-issue. Good luck with your decision.
