- 13 inch is quite small - I would go for the 15-inch - 128GB SSD is to small - at least in my experience. I have 256 GB and this works, but only 35 GB free - so I have a second USB3 HDD for additional data - 8GB RAM is fine I have the MacBookPro 10,1 Retina, 8GB memory and the 256 GB SSD drive - with Intel Core i7 I really like this machine The cores do make a difference.
