wow v9 already

wahh congratulation ! yay ~!!

new thread for new Retina Display MBP

haha so fast v9 already..my status still under processing item.

Guys I'm facing a prob here. I connected my macbook to external monitor for sometimes ady, but yesterday dunno why suddenly there is discolouration(light blue) on the external monitor. I can use everything normally, just that now the background has light blue discolouration which is very irritating. If I change back to macbook screen, eevrything is normal. It only happens when I use external monitor. Anyone has any idea how to solve this problem?

finally ts start 2012 thread

try change another new cable or change another monitor and see which is causing the problem ?

I have a question, about the Mountain Lion Up-to-date Program, they say "Customers must request their Up-to-Date upgrade within 30 days of purchasing their Mac computer.", it means we request after we got our mbp or now? Coz the new mbp takes 3-4 weeks to deliver

Got mine at 6.00 pm.
It is really blazing fast and have very crisp display.

where did you get it from?
RMBP?

Congrats Edoras!

theres no way to request from them now.
even so, you don't have the serial number of your laptop yet

Test it out already.. Seem like when running intel gpu, the scrolling on safari (browsing) not smooth. Am using the highest reso. Opening some apps like viewing info kinda lag too.
Guess the new intel gpu still not powderful or its somethng wrong wit the machine test..

is 13" retina coming out?

i guess d hd4k is not powerful enough for that resolution. how bout manually switch to nvidia GPU n test it again?

Macbook Pro 13" with Retina Display is coming out August - October time frame. Will wait for that rather than buying a huge 15" which I don't really utilize the extra powerful graphics and humongous screen size, can use thunderbolt display for that

You don't need to. The Display setting is set to "Automatic switching". I trust Apple is smart enough to switch between HD4000 and GT650M when the applications demands for it.

At "Best Retina" settings, scrolling iTunes and Safari is smooth. At the "Most space" setting emulating 1920x1200, even that is smooth as well, although the icons and texts starts to look tiny.

At the Display preference settings, Apple even warns that displaying setting at non-native a.k.a scaled resolution, it will cause performance degradation. I initially liked the "More Space"/1920x1200 setting, but have grown to love the ultra crispness of "Best Retina" setting.

There is the important "Trackpad Update" that was reported to improve scrolling mechanism on Retina Display screen. Personally, I don't see any difference, since mine works buttery smooth.

Everywhere also sold out.

Say next week new stock.

If they don't get 256GB by next week, I'm just gonna get the 512GB model.

Going overseas for studies in 2 weeks, I need to get mine by next week!

Also, new MBP RD owners may wanna try Google Chrome Canary, the developer channel version of Google Chrome browser. Supports Retina Display, and ZERO lag on this one. Safari on Lion reportedly doesn't take advantage of any of the hardware capability of either the HD4000 or GT650M. Safari on Mountain Lion will fix that next month.
