you can install it using thumb drive

the retina macbook RM6199(education) but the product is perfect ,now only the money issue for me >.< .but how to gt the edu price??

1. palm rest won't feel hot, theres no moving object in it.
2. around 5 hours, but i set my brightness to the maximum.
3. SSD can be upgraded after purchase but will cost you a bomb. will not be apple SSD, its 3rd party SSD

When will our local Apple resellers start stocking the New MBP Retina?
Machines? Mac Studio?

I got a question to ask about MBA 13". Existing MBA 13" user's input would be appreciated.

1. How is the heat dissipation with MBA? Would the palm rest feel hot? Also I plan to use extensively on lap so would it burn my lap?

2. Battery life. Apple rated the MBA 13" to have at least 7 hours usage. In actual life, how long would this be? I would use this idly for presentation purposes (and some document editing).

3. Any upgradeable path for MBA 13"? (Like RAM, SSD?)

Thank you.
The add on from 4GB to 8GB for only RM 306 seems to be quite a good deal.

Any 2.5-inch SSD will fit fine inside of the Mac, but make sure that the SSD you purchase is Mac formatted. Unless you have an external hard drive enclosure, it can be difficult to format the drive without OS X installed. The disk should be formatted using Disk Utility, with a GUID Partition Map that's HFS Partition Type and Mac OS Extended (Journaled).

Install SSD to unibody MBP
here's some read on installing 3rd party SSD on 2011 MBP, note that need to format the SSD to support Mac OS
seems like it quite a hassle on formatting the SSD with the Mac OS clone.

The MBA asking on behalf of my GF.
Me for sure is MBP 

One more question, are we eligible to free Mountain Lion if we purchase MBP 2012?

yes, any purchases from 11 June onwards will be eligible for the Mountain Lion up-to-date programme

Although minor update with ivybridge and intel 4000 but quite disappointed that there is no Retina Display and SSD. Should i get the current 13" Macbook Pro ?

Or there will be a 13" Retina and SSD soon this year ?

with that RM3699 price tag, you can't ask for those features.
the 13" retina MBP is rumored to be coming around fall this year.
but it won't have dedicated graphics, and price range will be just below RM5000

are they going to discontinue the non-retina macbook pro model ?

oh btw, do i need to purchase the apple care thingy ?

Thanks for answering my question, but I still have one more question. Now 13 inch MacBook pro 2012 does not have Optical drive?

That's why. 
Which mac is suitable for C++, oop and java? (13 inch only since I have limited budget)
If don't have optical drive means can't install windows for dual boot  .

Does anyone know which shop offer student discount and at the same time accept 0% credit card?

I think for education price only can buy from online store or apple stores in Universities
