First gen retina pros barely kept pace with the resolution

Lol @ future proof

Barely kept pace with resolutions? Who's offering as much as they are?

Nothing with apple is future proof.

Then why are people able to use their macbooks for like 6 years?

I like Apple's deal better. $200 off for college students and you get a $100 apple gift card.

Nope think about it. Even if you were right, which you are not, best buy gives a 300 dollar, better than the gift card option. CMBPs get a 100 dollar discount in the U.S max.

Why save money if it is on dad's credit card right?
It's so last year:D

You interpreted his post wrong. The retinas have an underpowered GPU powering them.

I can still 'use' my Windows 95 machine. Doesn't mean anything.

Wait for updates before buying these obsolete machines.
