slimness is one thing - it's almost impossible to fit an ethernet port on the current thickness of the MBP Retina

the other main thing is weight. optical drives aren't light, and to keep the weight down to an amazing 2kg, Apple just had to remove it.

basically weight is the MAIN reason i ordered the MBP Retina to replace my 2011 MBP 15". smile.gif

Sounds reasonable to me smile.gif rclxms.gif

Just received my MBP 13" 2012.

I thought it supposed to be around 25% slimmer?

Or is it only apply to retina macbook 15" ?

Actually most people would be confused as well since Apple named their Macbook Pro with Retina the 'next generation' Macbook Pro.

And thus many would think that when they buy ANY Macbook Pro 2012, it will be the 'next-gen' with 'next-gen' specs as well.

Dunno whether to applaud Apple's marketing on this or not. laugh.gif laugh.gif

Does anyone know any shops that already have cases for the MBP Retina? like sleeves (that really fit it) and also cases (such as Speck SeeThru)

I'm stuck with a generic sleeve (gunmetal though) purchased from MacStudio. Criteria was slim and tight fitting so it satisfy both. Sleeve and zippered at the narrow end, and the zipper has this protective flap so tat when zippered it won't "bite" into the Retina Display MBP.

I'm thinking of getting a 15" Enevelope leather sleeve I used to have for my 13" Air last time.


Added on June 19, 2012, 12:35 pmI'll be dropping by KLCC, Low Yat Plaza and Pavilion with 4K footages to showcase how good they look on the MBP RD. Drop by if you have the chance. Details on my whereabouts are in my Twitter feed.

Just got back from Machines KLCC.

HOLY SHIT!

That Retina Display is just gorgeous!

Did a side by side comparison with the old MBP and it was a world of difference!

Also did a weight check, and the new MBP is so freakin' light compared to the old 15".

Now just patiently waiting for the stock to arrive.

Those looking for official accessories for the new Retina Display MacBook Pro, some are available at Machines.

MagSafe 1 to MagSafe 2 adapter = RM39
Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet adapter = RM99

I'm canceling my [WTS] HyperJuice 100Whr External Battery I have for my previous MacBook Air 11". With the MagSafe adapter, now can use with the HyperJuice battery! rclxms.gif

It was meant for the MacBook Pro with Retina Display and it was in comparison to the exiting line ups.

Still need to somehow justify this to the wife, with Raya coming. tongue.gif .

Yes, the MBP 13" changes are basically the specs, Ivy Bridge processor, HD4000 graphics and DDR1600 Ram. No other changes, thickness wise or not. Am considering taking either the new Air 11" or the 13". Probably will take the 13", easier to go office to office here in Seremban.
