I read some review that the new rmbp is hotter than the older gen during normal usage? Anyone can clarify this?

So fast? I was assuming that it being new, there might be a long queue...? No?
*

MacBooks doesn't actually have queues like iPhones and iPad

Question, I made a backup of my old Lion 15" MBP into a time capsule. Assuming I get a new MBP with Mountain Lion preinstalled, if i restore from the backup will it revert back to Lion?

OT : One unit of Retina MBP (RM6799) in stock at Cube Subang Parade. First come first served basis.

Ask for Jon.
*
it won't revert to Lion

hey i have a charging problem here!
When i plug in my my magsafe today, there's no green or orange light!
I still can on my MBP but it's not going to stay for long coz it cannot be charged =(
and when i checked the battery percentage, it shows that i need to service battery..
SO does that mean it's time for me to change a new battery?
*
send in to AASP, maybe the battery charge cycle has passed

GUys, i wanna ask you all, if i purchase a Macbook Pro, can i install Windows 7 inside it ? I heard that we can boot windows 7 from an app which acts like VMWARE in Windows. Will i experience any lag if i do so ? I am planning to get the macbook pro with 8gb of RAM.
*
won't be laggy but not advisable if you're running heavy softwares

For those complaining about scroll lags and general UI lags on the MBP RD, the new Golden Master release of Mountain Lion just released yesterday to developers, have fixed that.



GM release is as close as the official release of Mountain Lion itself. Expect awesomeness for your new Retina Display MacBook Pro. thumbup.gif

thats great!
all issues should be resolved with ML biggrin.gif

May I know average battery life per full charge on MBPRD? Let's say heavy web browsing, 80% screen brightness, etc

Since the screen consumes more cpu and gpu usages, does it affect battery life? How is the battery life of MBPRD compared to normal MBP?
*
it should be the same, battery capacity on Retina model is higher than non Retina model

I don't like the new form factor. I'm using Airport Express' all over my house to extend the WiFi range, and the previous direct-to-wall one suits me perfectly as I have one in the TV room, the kitchen, near my bedroom and the study room.

I can't imagine placing this new one in my kitchen and outside my bedroom  unsure.gif
*
i second that, the older form factor does the job better

I travel occasionally. I don't bring my Airport Express around with me though. So, yeah.

But I guess I see what you mean.
