I just purchased the following: MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015) Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i7 memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 Graphics Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB
I had a similar tricked out 2011 machine (16 gig ram, 1 terabyte SSD, replaced dvd with 240 Gig sad). I am really happy with this one4. Chose because it would run 10.11. I did not want sierra Regards Chuck ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chuck Miller Voice: (617) 739-0306 Informed Solutions, Inc.
