How long do you think the base model retina would last, without any RAM upgrades or anything?
I'm assuming I could go a nice 3-5 years again with it, right?
I've had my current MBP for 6 years and I'm only just now starting to run up against limitations (It's just below spec for FCX, though it can run it okay, and no 64-bit support in Logic 9). But honestly I'd bet this thing could go another 3-4 years if it had to. Still compatible with all OS upgrades.
So yeah, the new one won't even feel slightly old after just 3 years. Most other laptops will just be catching up by then. And the build quality on Macs is amazing, they last forever.
