I have a 2 year old 15 inch MacBook Pro (non-retina).
I have 16gm of RAM and recently upgraded to a 1TB SSD.
I removed the superdrive and added a 750gb hd. (had to, the superdrive port only supports up to SATA II!)
It flies. I dont miss not having a retina display, yet :-)
I also have an 11 inch MacBook Air, 4gb RAM, 128gb SSD that I use to take places so I dont have to lug the 15 inch around. I can still code etc just takes a bit longer.
