just upgraded to a 2014 retina with 8 gb ram after my 2010 pro with 4gb got destroyed the day of the af1 drop. hoping all goes well
Yeah even with 8GB you'll be fine. Really don't need more than 8 unless you game or do graphic design/intensive music/video projects.
I miss my 2011 MBP with 16GB. It was a workhorse, until the GPU decided to eat itself and the logic board at the most inopportune time. I've just been waiting to settle in with a new position before making a sizable purchase like that.
That's the problem with the ultra slim laptops, everything is soldered on so you can't even swap ish out yourself. That's the main reason I didn't buy a RAZER laptop, everything from graphics to CPU to RAM is soldered directly on the board. If it fails, you gotta send it in or have a VERY steady hand.
