overall is nice~ the only things is 8gb ram is not enough, if anyone want to buy, is better to upgrade in factory or u will never upgrade after u purchase, it was sold on it, can't remove, for SSD also is better to upgrade in factory, or else u need to pay more for SSD because there is only 1 brand OWC, is more expensive than upgrade in factory~

customise by what u want before purchase, just advice~ XD

So far no issue on my MBPR late 2012 except on the fan roaring at random times ( on window 7 now 24/7 due to software incompatibility )

But in Mac OS X it run quiet and a beast. just having some little problem with my screen. =X

When our dual fan reached 6,000 rpm.... U will heard the sound...~

Does 4gb ram enough for 2013 rMBP since I'm using for assignments, YouTube, MS office? not for gaming though.  blink.gif Apple is now still selling the MBP with disc reader, is that retina or not?
*

R u serious in need 16gb ram?

Not need lah, 8gb & 256gb good than enough, these is dunno how fast do you read & write for saving photos.

Lightroom only color profile editor.

Inb4 of my MBA late 2011 4gb ram & 128gb dunno how fast to work with Nikon NX capture 2 and editing on D800 Raw files of 70-80mb per each file.

Lol

Seriously 8gb not enough for me as I boot two OS at same time....

I think it's some sort of graphic card or laptop hardware glitch.

I don't see that now at all after frequent nvidia and other software update.
*
No it's fans speed causes the wind sound.... Caz I got apps that can control fan speed, view temperature and so on

Not that I'm not used to it, I choose not to use it because the Trackpad has more features

u choose not to used to it~~~~ HAHAHAHAHA~ WTH~~

i got magic mouse but think of adding one trackpad... but quite expensive...

i close my pappy lid and extend monitors to bigger one.... sometimes use dual screen.... so i bought a apple wired keyboard and magic mouse...

when i go office, i didn't bring them.... just use the build in one...
