LOL you people are so obsessed with it.
*
wouldn't say obsessed, i went to Machines KLSS yesterday to have a look at the display unit.
no big deal, but i've been wanting a slimmer 15" since last year.
everything this RMBP has to offer fits in within my criteria, so its a good buy for me

So u actually touch the RMBP? How was it?
*
the display didn't catch my eyes, maybe because no comparison and theres no demo items on the laptop.
weight wise is light, lid is at thin as MBA

Place it beside a non retina MBP and you will see the difference.
Play a high bit rate song in the RMBP and you will hear the difference.

will do that when i drop by again

Closest think to a "refreshed" batch is wait for it to come preloaded with OSX mountain lion

that is not refreshed, what he meant by refresh is spec bump

rMBP overpriced tongue.gif

why over priced?
normal 15" MBP add SSD and 8GB ram already more than the price of RMBP

I'm sure you're not a mac user, if you are I'm pretty sure you won't make such statement.
Mac is totally different from PC, all pc user compares the specs.
Mac is not about spec, its about the OS

Don't entertain those people, guys. Something is always overprice when you can't afford it. Ultrabooks section I that way. When you can't beat them, make excuses and troll them.

For something that has cutting edge tech display at this resolution like this, I'd expect Apple to be asking for 5 figures already.
*
yea should have been 5 figures, you have a point.
competitors is no where close to Apple in terms of technology

I probably will hold back a couple of months on the RMBP, just for them to clear the current batch of screen from LG(?) . Think Samsung or even Philips quality is better.
*
so if they don't use Samsung or Philips screen you won't purchase? tongue.gif

Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realize I had to be a certified Apple fanboy to use a Mac. unsure.gif

I don't see how my comment is wrong though. Macs don't exactly cater to the budget conscious. Guess I'm not cool enough to sip lattes at Starbucks with my shiny aluminium laptop... anyone want to buy a 1 week old MBA?

try notebook and tables section, many people wanting to buy MBA smile.gif

This is how Mac OS X looks like at 2880x1800. I use the app "Change Resolution".

Warning: Super large image size.

bro, how come the icons are all smaller?
shouldn't it be the same size since Apple did double pixels?

Pixellated image on the Macbook Pro Retina on Photoshop App.

Of course the wallpapers are scaled to 2880 x 1800 and it clearly is beautiful but most apps have not yet scaled up or updated. I'll accept this technology when everything is ready, but in the mean time, it looks like everything is prematurely readied  rolleyes.gif

buy at the time you're comfortable with, no one is pointing a gun forcing you to buy
