QUOTE(westlife @ Jan 5 2016, 10:16 PM) it is actually not that bad. the skin it just pasted on the surface of the notebook and it does not really block any vent. so the impact is very very minimum. I.thought the unibody aluminum casing was to dissipate heat too, |

QUOTE(westlife @ Feb 25 2016, 03:01 PM) actually 8gb to many is more than sufficient, but if u are heavy graphic/video editor etc, then it is good to have 16gb. Well, i do light video editing on imovie only i feel like its struggling. Bear in mind mine is a retina with 256gb ssd model. my only option now is to upgrade to a new MBP |

QUOTE(westlife @ Feb 25 2016, 06:45 PM) That's why for video editing etc u should go for 15 inch directly, since it is already high spec. MY unit IS 15" inchGeneral uses who are not gamers or video editors then stick to 8gb. |
