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.

But is ur one LG though?? Maybe u got lucky and get samsung out of the box keke. 

Ya, just curious why nobody in Malaysia or Lowyat Forum complain about this. Maybe they send all the good quality MacBook Pro RD to Malaysia? Haha..

Most of the initial ppl who complain are cad users which happens to have a solid grey background for their program.

Its only really noticeable when the background is solid grey..

I doubt any shop will let u change more than 3 on the spot..... If i can change as many until i get the one i wanted then  the shop will probably ban me lol. 

My MacBook Pro Retina Display has been sent for evaluation either for repair or replacement. Reason being? White spot appearing on the LCD screen. Google "Macbook Pro LCD Mura" and you'll see what it is all about. Mine appears every time there's a light grey or white background on screen, not on any busy or colorful background.

To check, choose solid color wallpapers, particularly grey and white. Look for splotches of white. It looks like water droplets and intensity of this white discoloration depends on how bad the defect is. Mine is cloudy and in a specific spot on the lower right quadrant, while the more extreme example I've seen is the MacBook Pro Retina Display demo unit available at Machines KLCC where the Mura/white spot appears as if someone burnt a laser pointer through the screen. It stays invisible over brightly colored wallpapers, but as soon as you open Safari on Apple homepage (which is always white), it's painfully obvious. The MBP Retina Display at Machine KLCC also shows clear-as-day problem of "image retention", like plasma TVs would.

My procedure with AASP here are in all manner of word, DISAPPOINTING. First went to VR Technology in Megan Avenue II at Jalan Yap Kwan Seng, and they wanted me to leave the unit there for "diagnostics and observation" for "an undeterminate amount of time" before they can decide if the unit is "repairable or replaced". Called QCD at Times Square, same scripted answer. Machines, I have a good friend initiating the evaluation, and I have his help to get it inspected tomorrow and within 24 hours, be decided if the unit is "repairable or replaced". At least I have the most minimal downtime without the MBP Retina, although if they decide to repair the screen, replacement display will only arrive from Singapore between 3-7 working days. Shitty to say the least. I thought buying into the Apple ecosystem means begin treated with more practical importance and speed than these incompetences.

The case reported in Apple Support Community forum with regards to this, had the victim's unit inspected by the Apple Genius at a physical Apple Store, deemed defective and replaced on the spot. The crappy part of all this is that we have no Apple Stores here to rely on that more expeditious method of replacement.

Be advised, folks. Check your MBP Retina Display screen.

ADDENDUM: Here's the link to that Apple Support Community forum I mentioned: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/404218...tart=0&tstart=0

Where can I buy Moshi Palm Guard for MBP RD?
I tried buying from Moshi website but they don't ship to Malaysia... Sigh

any1 experience gounding issue even with the long cord 3pin plug??
can it overcome with arm guard and cover case?

I heard that people say if I install window 7 on Macbook , and it will lag when running the window 7

If I buy RMBP then will it it lag. Now really dilemma choosing a laptop

Yes, agreed. There is nothing that can match the rMBP in value in the market now. Those that complain of the rMBP being 'expensive' are just saying that they don't have such a budget (above RM 6k), and they start to say all sorts of reasonings to make themselves feel better (I know a few friends who are like this! LOL).

We might see the other laptop manufacturers soon implementing similar specs with the rMBP, but for them to do it in such a sweet package like the rMBP (with crazy-wafer thinness, unimaginable light-weight, unibody & glass construction, triple-display output, etc.) is going to take them a considerably LONG time.
In fact, Macbooks do not lose out at all. Take for example, the MacBook Air 13". The Windows-equivalent laptop such as the Asus Zenbook has much worse features / build / spec for the same price. In this respect, we can say Asus is expensive and Apple's offering is cheap! 

interested to know this too. currently running it on vmware fusion on my mac mini and iMac. wonder how the performance on mba?

i'm considering purchasing my first macbook... just to experience using diff os...
my usage, not to heavy, just surfing net and some typing.
should i get the retina mbp or just normal one?

I carry my rMBP when I go shopping for the whole day with my wife, and don't feel tired too. The 2 KG weight is still very bearable to me, but not so much for my previous cMBP at 2.5 KG.
Agreed. After using the rMBP, the MBA's screen will look like a defected screen.

  got so kua cheong??

I choose rMBP against MBA, bcos it will serve as my desktop replacement, it wil b my work horse from now for daily use of surfing, typing, photo editing... i won't travel wif it a lot, ipad can get the travel job done 
well, when i need to bring it around, it's not that heavy after all

Actually the thinnest and popular overseas windows ultrabook atm is the samsung series 9. Anyone here own a Joli Originals Sleeve here?? Wanna ask about the quality.

can MBA 13" 1.8 do light photoshop? planning to get portable laptop since i have make 1 pc for hackintosh, or i just get MBP 13" 2.5 because it same price with MBA 13"? please enlighten me

can MBP 13" upgrade to ssd?

you need and research and get the right SSD for the MBP, if not endless issues. Best to read Mcrumors forums on MBP/SSD reports
