While there are no user-accessible doors or latches as there have been on past MacBook pro designs, the MacBook Pro can be disassembled.

The non-Retina MacBook Pro, meanwhile, is - at least by Mac standards - pretty easy to get inside and work on. Flash storage is removable, but with the most recent models, Apple's changed the flash memory interface to something that third-party SSD makers haven't yet been able to create upgrades for. I can relate - I've done this to a lot of my Macs in the past.

This isn't something that comes up for everyone, but a certain contingent of Mac buyers are do-it-yourselfers who don't mind cracking open the case of their Mac to install and upgrade new parts as needed. What's more, the Mac will work with almost any external CD/DVD burner - you can pick up an inexpensive one from online catalogs for $25 or less - but it's a barrier to entry, seen as yet another expense and an inconvenience to portability.

In fact, we don't sell a single software app on disc except for Microsoft Office.Īpple offers an external SuperDrive for $80. Again, that's a teachable moment - many of the people coming in the store to buy a new computer haven't bought one in several years, and aren't aware that fewer and fewer boxes of software are being sold.

Having an optical drive is less important for software installations as most developers have moved to digital distribution, either through the Mac App Store, their own web sites or other download services. In particular, the absence of an optical drive affects customers who haven't yet migrated their music libraries from CD to iTunes, or those who are doing it bit by bit folks who have movies on DVD they want to watch and people who need to load or offload content stored on optical media - work archives, especially. The Retina MacBook Pro line, like most other Macs, eliminates the CD/DVD "SuperDrive." While it's a distant second, another issue comes up when they ask where the discs go in. SuperDriveĪbsence of storage capacity is one important factor. And many customers are either unwilling or unable to curate what they already have enough to make a smaller, more efficient storage system work. But the relative dearth of capacity is troubling to them. By the end of my speil the customers understand that flash is a superior technology to hard drives. I explain the strengths and benefits of flash storage: speed, reliability, power efficiency. Moving data off to an external hard drive, network server or cloud storage can be a tough sell for someone who wants to take their stuff with them and doesn't want to have to deal with Internet access to get their files. In some cases less storage just won't work: a big iTunes library or lots of photos make it impossible.
People are scared at having not enough storage capacity: many of them are upgrading from an older machine and can't get their head around the idea of paying for a new computer with less storage capacity. As it turns out, that 500 GB hard disk drive is a really important selling feature for a lot of customers.
Week in and week out, that old, chunky, heavy and slower 13-inch MacBook Pro continues to sell well. So they listen with open minds about the MacBook Air, the MacBook Pro, and the Retina MacBook Pro, trying to understand the differences in price, features and functionality. Now, many people who I talk with aren't that familiar with the Mac product line. So it's also no surprise that the majority of people walking in the door who are shopping for a new computer want to compare the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro. Laptops consistently outsell desktop machines - no surprise there, that's been the industry trend for years.
