I am using MacBook Pro 2013 Top Spec.
i7 2.7ghz, 16gb ram, Flash 512, 15" retina. Dual graphic. Rm8699.00

But I wonder why Mbp 2014 top spec only i7 2.3ghz. .. And a bit cheaper..

different model.
the one you have is early 2013, the current model is late 2013
early 2013 is still running on Ivy Bridge, current model is running on Haswell.
even though the clocking speed is lower, the processor still outruns the older generation processor
price drop happened on late 2013 model as apple reduced the price of Macs world wide

Intel Core i7-4850HQ 2.3GHz Haswell

Intel Core i7-3840QM 2.7GHz Ivy Bridge

It's just about 200 point different.

What about MacBook Air 1.4ghz i7? Will it be very much better than early version? I saw YouTube video, early version is very much better, faster for everything... Plan to sold my Mbp switch to MBA. Need to read watch video than hi end processing.
