everything looks extra small compared to a 15", 3 years i moved to 15" from 13" because i'd love to work on a bigger screen with more space.

I see. I am using the 15 inch for work too but it is too bulky therefore I regret. Partly also due to the fact that I carry it daily.

If I had chosen a 13-inch initially it will be perfect.

tested the macbook 12-inch keyboard for couple of times, initially will really feel difficult to adapt to it. after few rounds of try, once getting used to the keyboard, actually the typing is not that bad. Of course it cannot compete with macbook pro keyboard, but it is indeed not that bad.

Just put macbook only in my bag without charger and cable, fuhhh im feel like bring ipad 2, very light

Pm me. Perhaps we could work something out. I'm interested

Yes, it is superb portable. Bring to overseas will be damn nice especially use on the flight too. Given the size, it will not be too cramp or uneasy to use given the seat in flight is damn cramp.

Interested to see if there is any major upgrades for 2nd generation.

did you guys buy the USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter for your Retina Macbook?

too expensive...

so u guys just get the USB-C to USB-A connector?

for me, i just bought apple usb-c to usb-a only

Considered once to get a MacBook when Apple just announced. Until now still not done so yet. And now the price hiked. Regretted...
Anyway, my MBP 2011 still working, a bit slow though...
I think I will wait till next generation...
Please do update us about your experiences.

Anyone here considering/considered Hub+? Seems awesome...

Just another random question, how's the performance using flash on this new MacBook?

your situation mostly same with me, plan to buy this new macbook in April this year but i hold on becoz cannot decide to go with base model or configure up to 1.3 processor only, then choices of colour gold or space gray, should go for pro or not until last month when apple rise prices for all mac, i just bought base model gold colour with old price. So far so good, serve all my need and very satisfied

Do you often use flash player/browse websites with many flash plugins? How do they perform?

waiting to try this

cool function. but i think most cases, but the charging will take long time.

from a review i watched before, it said that it takes more than 5 hrs to charge full the macbook using powerbank.

but frankly speaking it is still quite fast.

no pt to get now liao. likely early next year will have refresh of spec, or maybe apple will add more ports (for example one more usb-c?, adding 720p camera instead).

I will get the 2nd gen too immediately when it is out.

gold color looks nice at the beginning. after a while i feel the contrast of the keyboard (black color) against the gold color body of the macbook is not very good comparing to space grey. (just my 2 cents). Think space grey is the best color and most popular color among all.

ur MBP is 4GB ram? i think that could be the reason, if upgrade to 8GB at least i think it will help quite a lot. But the slow traditional SATA hardisk could be the bottleneck too.

for the new PCIe SSD, the speed is superb.

Yalo... But adding another ports is a little unlikely. Unless it sacrifices its thinness.
Upgrading its camera is more likely.

Perhaps they could expand the use of audio jack port as another mode of data transfer? Just like the old 3rd gen iPod shuffle..


I've already upgraded to 8GB when I first bought this MBP. It was EOL product when I bought and Switch upgraded the ram for free as promotion.
1 year later I upgraded the hard drive to SSD as there was some issue. The system (Mountain Lion) hangs/restarted itself.
After the upgrade, the problem solved, but the system didn't get too smooth until Yosemite.
Now I'm using El Capitan, I'm quite happy with this version. I just can't use the continuity and most of the other new features after Yosemite.
