I think you are looking at MacBook Pro 13"  which starts at USD1199. Retina Display Starts at USD2199 for the 15" from the US Store.

Try looking at http://store.apple.com/my  for the local Apple Store.

Hope that helps

Look in ebay, you save some $ from buying there, make sure only buy from reputable seller at ebay, get the box as well, not only the activation codes.

Well you can get it for a slightly cheaper price if you buy it from the apple education store.

The apple care i can buy it on the last day right? like on 364 days after purchase?

Try not to abuse the student pricing benefits, those are for students ONLY.

Last week my friend bought a unit of CTO rMBP, Apple hold the shipment, calls and email were received to ask prove of student card and card detail of purchaser, took one week to verified, then shipment was sent out

Just a note. For rMBP, the Samsung panel may not be affected with image-persistence problem compared to LG panels, but it is prone to a whole of different problems - such as uneven brightness, colour tints, and worst of all dead pixels - which will likely develop in time and is a far worse problem than image-persistence. Either way, we all have to be worried whether we have either Samsung or LG panel. Or just don't worry and enjoy our device. biggrin.gif

bro im living overseas now with excess to stores like d*** smith and jbhifi, the ACPP coverage does cost pretty much the same when converted back.

for exp:
ACPP for rMBP here goes for about $400.
upon converting back to RM it would be about RM1200+.
apple store MY is selling it at RM1199.

if i can afford it when im purchasing my new mac, i would definitely get the ACPP with it as well. blush.gif

I saw that yesterday, however someone on macrumors call an senior apple staff and they assure him that if the problem become too serious they will replace the screen within warranty still. Its just a hassle for ppl who use it for their main workstation thats all.

I went to try a LG panel retina macbook yesterday and i dont notice any really, but the brightness of the screen is a bit low honestly on LG panels.

i never bothered doing any image retention test on mine, used it for 1 month and no problems so i cant be bothered to do test as long as it doesnt bothers me working on my daily tasks.
warranty to replace the screen would take atleast 7-10 days i believe if we do it at AASP
