Your Question: Can you shed some light on when the SSD upgrade will be available for the mid 2014 rMBP? I read that it was supposed to be ready in 2014 but I cant find it on your site. I have a long evening of migration, boot camping, and fiddling ahead of me.
pre mobo failure) that I'd have the option to upgrade to this machine for $1,200 I probably would have jumped at it.Īnd this is the first time that I've ever had a top-of-the-line computer, car, spouse, whatever, so it's nice to feel spoiled for once! As it turned out I was down for the week anyway.Īh well, it's not so bad. I was planning on spending $700 for a third-party TB upgrade anyway, so the BTO really should have been a no-brainer, but I didn't want the downtime, and I wanted to walk out of the store with a working solution.
Looking backwards a week, I could have saved $400 by taking the $2,000 credit for the swap and BTOing a 2.2 GHz model with integrated GPU and the 1 TB of SSD for $2,800. This also gave me an extra 600 MHz and a discrete GPU that I don't need, but now I have it. I went back to the Manhattan Beach Apple Store and convinced the cute store manager to allow me the privilege of paying $1,200 to swap my 256 GB model for the 1 TB model. Well, after 4 days of fighting with trying to cram a 500 GB profile into 250 GB of space, I gave up.
