Hi Victor, I have a MacBook Pro with Retina display and use R everyday. I have not seen any issues related to the flash storage. I have not used RStudio very frequently so I cannot say if that software works well on a Retina model - but I am assuming it does. R is mainly a RAM-oriented tool so the flash-style disk storage probably won't be much of a problem.
'Flash storage' (you mean an SSD, I presume) is hardly new: my 2008 Mac Book Air had it, and all recent MBAs do (including the one I now have). As far as any application (including R and RStudio) sees, the OS presents a POSIX file system, and that is true for a spinning disc, an SSD or a 'fusion drive' ....

Hi, I am thinking to change my old white MacBook for a new MacBook Pro retina display with flash storage, but I realized that flash storage has another logic of storage. So I would like to know if I could use R and R-Studio without any problem with a MacBook pro flash storage. Thanks in advance, V?ctor M. Garc?a
