2012 MBP Retina — Review Model Configuration

For my own unit, which is both a test unit and the one I will travel with, I went with the 512GB flash, since a 5-7 week wait was quoted for the 768GB model, and I don’t need more than the 512GB for my travel uses.

The 16GB memory is the only smart choice, and I opted for the fastest processor simply because of testing reasons; the 2.6 GHz CPU is just fine also.

See the Choosing a MacBook Pro Retina Configuration for which model to choose.
