Bought from Macstudio LYP.
With the help from Stringfellow, managed to get the first MBP RD 512 GB. First unboxing at the shop itself.

Furthermore, it needs all the big space for battery to last 7 hours.
And the space for heat dissipation.
I also don't believe Apple will introduce MBPRD 13" so soon.

MBPRD owners! You gotta watch this Retina Display Ready Videos!!

Words just can't simply described its stunning display!!

Don't believe the MBPRD 13" rumors. Apple marketing strategy will not kill the current MBA and MBP. They have studied well.
I have an MBA 13" but when I have the 15" MBPRD, the speed and display was damn fast, I will not turn back to smaller screen. The MBPRD is light enough to carry.

We can't keep up with the latest technology but at least we can fully utilize it when its still new....
I for one is an "early adopter"... And I believe some of use here are also "early adopters". We have to premium to be one but at least we are satisfied in what we buy.... Use to the fullest and you will never regret...

2.6GHz/8GB/512GB

Flimsy? I think its design to make it easily come off when you trip the magsafe...

Its slightly easier to be detach with Magsafe2 design due to its design to plug straight instead of the L shape.
Actually, I prefer this way. Safer..

Hi String - I have not made any survey yet but I wonder why did you choose the Hyperjuice 100Whr External Macbook battery? Any specific reason?
Did you buy in Low Yat? How much is it?

I am still using my Solo Vintage - Leather Backpack which I bought for my MBA 13".
It fits my new 15" MBPRD nicely.

If anyone willing to fork out their money to buy the retina Zebra wallpaper...

Congrats! Which specs?

The low end 11" MBA looks quite cheap and almost the same price as the high end new iPad 3 (plus RM 300)..

Press on/off button until it shuts down. But don't do this frequently. It might corrupt your HDD later.

Use Migration Assistant and Time Machine backup. Simplest and hassle free. Not only data, but all your apps and previous settings are maintained.

Yes, same places and setting into the new MBP. It will use the same space as your last backup to the Time Capsule.
If you want to set new, it can be good because you will not carry the "rubbish" over to your new MBP. However, you have to reinstall the the apps all over again one by one. You will have to learn where you place your data folders since everything is new.

I also thought that heat will be much less with MBPRD... Unfortunately, I am wrong... Its still hot sitting on my lap..

Normal usage like email and browsing.
However, its not as hot as my old 2010 MBA...

Buy the cheaper one and you can still format to Mac OS Journaled (if required).
