Apple cannot include GST into their price. Part of the GST requirement is that product must be shown in retail price and the chargeable GST separately. Therefore, I think Apple product prices will increase further.

Nope, the latest 13" rMBP uses Intel Iris Graphics and Broadwell CPU.

Sorry is there anyone had this experience before?

the new one using intel 6100 where old one using 5100

Now i'm in dilemma even lol..

1. rMBP mid 2014 I could get new at 41xx (Pro: Better Performance, more ports, Con: Heavier?)
2. New Macbook - 43xx (Pro: Portablity, Trendy Design; Con: Poorer Permance, 1 port?)

Skipped MBA, because not retina.

main usage would be: web design / lightroom, light photoshop, internet, movie, less gaming.

YES
Apple Macbook Pro with Retina – Core i5/13.3”/8GB/256GB MGX82ZP/A

Just go for the rMBP. The new MacBook not enough power for heavy work. Since rMBP is cheaper than the new MacBook.

With the launch of rMBP 2015, do you think 2014 is worth getting esp if there is a price drop?
I think if we order online, wait for 1 month .. Wont kena GST but if u buy after Apr, most likely ..

rMBP hands down.

Definitely the rMBP. New Macbook looks like more to surfing internet only, not doing heavy stuff

I've used lightroom on older Core M based Windows laptops and it was painful. I doubt the new MacBook is that much better. Unless you're a fashion blogger posting on facebook all day from Starbucks, I suggest you get the rMBP.

is it worth to buy the NEw rMBP directly or the mid2014? (41xx vs 4849)

Is there any differences on the Mac or services when we purchase it at retail price or education price?

Nope

sorry to disturb here , out of topic abit ,

thanks
