what is the best resolution for rmbp 13? Should I just leave it at 'best for retina' or change to other resolution? Which setting do you guys use?

I'm using a slightly higher resolution than the one suggested for 'best for retina', does that jeopardize the beautiful display??
I dont quite understand actually, with the one I am using, is it still considered as retina? So higher resolution = better?
*
Retina is just doubling the pixel for default resolution.
if you're using a higher resolution setting, everything will look smaller yet still clearer than other displays on high resolution settings

i'm looking to buy used 13" mbp.
but i don't know which one should i buy.
whether 2010 or 2011 model.

my usage is mainly web surfing and movies, little programming and video editing, photoshoping and some gaming(fifa,pes,DW,diablo 3 etc).
are 320m nvidia on mbp 2010 perform better than hd3000?

btw, which ssd brand suitable for both devices?
*
if you're planning to install SSD on it, get the 2011 model as it supports SATA 3.
2010 model only supports SATA 2.
i've used both models before and TBH, its the same to me.
after upgrading to 15" rMBP, theres a huge difference.
Quad-Core and SSD with stunning display

I want to ask ya.. Basically the 15 inch rMBP lowest spec only got an increase in Proc speed from 2.3 to 2.4? Ram is still the same for the lower end rMBP right?
*
yupp, the difference is not noticeable.
better wait for the new models with Haswell this Summer

never order from Distributor/Reseller if its a CTO model.
waste time waiting, can get it quicker from Apple Online Store

great.. hv fun playing around.
Hopefully worth waiting for me, since instead getting 8Gb of RAM, now double.
*
im sure its worth waiting.
i have one with 16GB also, even though i only use it for web surfing.
a way to make sure it doesnt get outdated too quick since its not SODIMM

Hey guys been wanting to buy a rMBP for a while now but am afraid of the LG IR screen and also the Samsung backlight bleeding issues. If I were to buy from apple store and find that my screen has the said issues, will they provide a replacement? Am i to bare the cost of returning the previous mbp?
*
i dont think such problem still exist.
it was only for first batch of 15" rMBP

Hi all. Been wanting to get a MBP for university use in the future and all. Just asking, is it worthit to upgrade to an 8GB ram via Apple online store? Would it be better if I head to Machines instead & buy the MBP Then ask for an upgrade? Should I upgrade the ram from 4GB to 8GB? And according to my friends, they said the price of MBP MIGHT drop this year, not sure when. You think will that happen? Thank you. smile.gif
*
if youre getting MBP, then buy the laptop from stores then get suitable RAM from resellers at lowyat.
reason to it is because its using user upgradeable RAMs
price difference is alot compared to ordering directly from Apple.
but if you're getting MBA/rMBP, you have no choice but to CTO with 8/16 GB of RAM as its soldered to the Logicboard and doesnt allow future upgrades

Oh means I can just get the MBP from Apple itself then head to lowyat for the ram upgrade? Im planning to get the normal 13.3inch one @ 3.699k? Is it worth the money? And I heard there's a student discount if you buy online is it?
*
yes, but if you search around Garage Sales section you can actually get better deals
same goes to the Ram

just got my rMBP 13. i've got to say the screen looks absolutely amazing when viewing a 2560x1600 resolution picture. however, daily web surfing and watching youtube doesnt fully utilise the retina display which is quite disappointing.

anybody here knows of a retina ready photography websites ?
*
what makes you think it doesnt fully utilise?
as for me, its good for everything i do on mine.
causes less eye strain and warmer colour
