I'm getting confused about which new MBP to get. Geekbench numbers are starting to come in and the new 15in ones are slower than the previous generation. Doesn't make much sense. Any of you computer guys have time to help me out? I need to order a new one today or tomorrow for a trip on Sunday.
I'm upgrading from a 2011 MBP so a refurb or new 15in MBP is what I want.
Thinking about the high end 2.3ghz at $2300

So the new high end 2.6ghz MBP is about 4% faster, CPU wise, than the previous high end 2.8ghz MBP.
I guess I'm fine with that. I was reading mixed comments and articles about the speeds.

Got the 2.3ghz high end 15in MBP.
Siccccc. Gonna be a huge upgrade compared to my 2011 non-retina 2.0ghz i7.

24hr Apple stores are awesome.

Just upgraded my four year old Macbook from Leopard (cough) to Mavericks. It was getting a bit unstable after four years, but feels a lot happier now. It all went smoothly, but I did a bare metal install to get rid of all the cruft.
It's the second machine I've done updated, as I did my work machine yesterday. That went OK, except I had to fiddle around with getting IntelliJ to behave.
And now I'm just getting used to the reversed scroll…

I reset the scroll back to how I like it in system preferences.

The best thing that ever happened to touchpads is apple period. The glass trackpad and gestures is the only acceptable pointer input device IMO.

Interesting- I wouldn't think they'd have enough for traffic to justify the expense. Then again, Apple has enough cash on hand to run their stores for years without a single sale.

Even on a per store basis it can fund itself. Highest net per square foot in all of retail.

How much more could it possibly cost? To keep the lights on and pay a couple kids minimum wage? They're already paying the rent

with the new mac os, it says you can surf the web longer. now is this an os (eg google) thing or just safari?

No more pornus interruptus!

That's not going to be a fun place to recover from. Rest assured your data is intact, maybe just not the OS itself.

Would be the path forwards I'd try. Goodluck!
