I ordered a new custom MacBook Pro with Retina Display, but it won’t ship for another two to three weeks. In the meantime, I visited the San Francisco Apple Store where I’m hoping to purchase a retail configuration for review purposes. Apple is selling two models at retail for $2,199 and $2,799. The cheaper model comes with a 2.3GHz processor and a 256GB SSD. The pricier model comes with a 2.6GHz processor and 512GB SSD. Both ship with with 8GB of memory. The optional 16GB of memory, 768GB SSD and 2.7GHz processor are only available online and can push the cost up to almost $4,000.
