But while we were waiting to get the flagship 13-inch with 2.9 GHz processor to the test bench, that’s exactly what we did, since there is something a little more than a matter of storage space to separate them. That difference is the storage capacity, not normally a reason to review the middle version as a separate product. And in the case of the Early 2015 revisions to the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display, there is only one single difference between entry and middle. The largest differences in such a series is clearly between entry and flagship versions, with fewer changes to be found between entry and middle, for instance. Here’s a closer look at the middle model of the three current options of MacBook Pro with Retina display, the 13-inch series. Which leaves the one in the middle as, well, the middle model. You could also view them as entry-level model – the basic version to get you started at the lowest price – and at the top, the top or flagship model with best components and all available features. In marketing terms these may be described as ‘good’, ‘better’ and ‘best’. This provides a choice of products pre-configured with better specification as price increases.
