MacBook Pro experiences?

[lampmusic]

Hello people.

We are curious if anyone has been able to do a comparison of mid 2012 Mbp 15 vs mid 2012 Mbp retina 15?

The biggest thing that we've noticed is the speed of the retina with ssd. PTHD 11 native is flying! Seems a lot faster than the regular Mbp 15 with 5400 drive.

Our biggest concern is the 8g ram soldered to motherboard limitation on the retina.

We expect comparable performance with the non retina Mbp with the ssd upgrade.

Love to hear any experiences from anyone that's been able to put these units thru the paces.

Thanks

I've got a Retina and while I still can't really use PT11 for lack of plug-ins, I can always run my full feature film sessions on it in PT10 with no problems. I got it with 16GB RAM though.
