mbp user are eligible to download mountain lion from app store for free?

yes, but i believe yours will be preinstalled with ML.
if it comes preinstalled, you can't redeem from MAS

the link you gave me is different, that is to fix disk that already has ML installed.
the one youre looking at is internet recovery, which is used to install ML on a disk without OS

If your Mac problem is a little less common — your hard drive has failed or you’ve installed a hard drive without OS X, for example — Internet Recovery takes over automatically. It downloads and starts OS X Recovery directly from Apple servers over a broadband Internet connection. And your Mac has access to the same OS X Recovery features online. Internet Recovery is built into every new Mac.

Holy smokes! Did this app just get released?

It's a real life-saver for MS Office! No more using the frustrating hack that needs to minimize-and-maximize every time a new file is opened.

Thanks again BRY7 for your awesome find!  thumbup.gif

Some people said it only affects LG displays, and Samsung displays may suffer other problems such colour tints, uneven brightness, colours too cold / bluish, etc.

Worst of all, some mentioned that image-retention may develop over time, means the longer you use your display, the higher chance you are to get it.

Just saying. Anyhow, with warranty, no need to worry so much. Apple should cover this under warranty unless of course you are bought your rMBP from local retailers, then perhaps they might say it's performing 'as it should'. laugh.gif

Sorry, do you mean there is a different in terms of warranty claim if I buy direct from Online Store versus from Reseller like Machines, Epicentre etc?

I didn't know that!

its the same, only difference is the first 14 days.
online store has an exchange policy where else resellers might not

i realized something weird on my rMBP, the forward button (F9) sometimes actually repeats the song.
i have to tap F9 twice to skip the current song to play the next one.
can you guys try out?
it could be that its a issue with ML or maybe my hardware

skipped through 10 odd songs and there were no instances of songs repeating instead. tried with both itunes in the background and in focus. fast forwarding through a track while pressing down on said button works fine as well.

thanks for trying it out.
i realised that it only happens when i have 2 songs listed (search), when i'm at the main music library it doesnt happen

So how many ppl in this forum who bought the new retina macbook pro actually have image retention problem?

And if i walk into a lowyat plaza shop will they let me test it first? I dont wanna find out later on i got a defective one.....
*
as far as i know, no one has such problem.
you cant test before buying, its standard procedure that you inspect after paying

Ok so after payment if i inspect and got such issue they replace it on the spot like they do in the states? Or am i expecting them to give me excuses and they send for repair for a machines thats turn on for 15 mins.....

I have a bad experiences with an ipod touch before flicker issue on screen after i bought it and check on the spot they wont give me a replacement straight away and the salesperson just keep saying there is no problem with it  vmad.gif

yes, they will replace it since Apple will deem it as DOA

Its call I.T Store they open a new apple retail store here in miri but after the incident i never went to buy another item from that shop and advise all my friend to go another shop.

Also reason im going to KL to buy the macbook pro retina, any recommended shop with good service? I do see a lot of lowyat shop advertising on garage section for cheaper price but no idea if their service is good or not. If i have to pay retail price to get a good one then so be it.  sweat.gif
