I'm still thinking either to get the non-retina or the retina. But due to budget limit, I only able to get the 128gb with education discount at most. Any comment about the non-retina?

Get the retina. Thinner and lighter, good screen and the new force touch track pad.

If I am not mistaken, anti reflective coating issues got no expiry. Someone posted much earlier that they have replacement program for this issue. But if the unit is a recent buy <7 days, exchange 1 to 1, if not they replace the lcd which unfortunately may take some time.

I too have issues on mine but in my opinion is not so severe. It like lines here and there which during operation does not impede on the usage experience, so I do not mind.

Mine got a few dotes and one small line.. I think it is caused by the touchpad/keyboard

Yes I too have the same sort of marks, I think its also due to the keys rubbing. Anyways it does not effect my viewing so I'm good to go so far..

There is no gap between the screen and the keyboard? hmm.gif

There must be an app that is still linked to your hard drive. Also it could be an open file etc. Did you try to see in the 'Force Quit' menu?

Also does this issue happens on a particular usb or on all usb ports?

Seems like the problem is my external hdd. Tried to eject on another macbook gives the same error.

If you haven't tried.

Switch off all extensions in safari. Then on 1 by 1 and check for the useability. If it crashes, then you will knw the culprit.

and/or check for any updates in app store.

When I upgraded mine to sierra, got the same issue, it was one of my extensions that I installed for Facebook. Now its all good after determining the rogue extension app.

I only have adblock in extensions hmm.gif updated to the latest sierra hopefully it's fixed.
