Popped into the Covent Garden Apple store (Regents Street has no RD MBP on display) to have a looksee at the new MacBook Pro with Retina Display.
Looks good in the Keynote. In real life it's in a different league. The screen is amazing and you cam set it so you get more space instead of just the retina effect. Using it you get used to the screen. The machine is lightning fast and very quiet.
Then you go look at a MBA or the non RD MBP and all of a sudden the screens on those look like rubbish.
If you don't want your wallet damaged do not go look at one of these in the flesh. Seriously.

I hope your all speccing 16GB with your Retina MBP, otherwise your bait shafted...
I personally hate this endless fight towards thinness.
Sometimes I want to change my memory.
Sometimes I want to change my SSD to something that isn't proprietary.
*sigh*

Yeah I only learnt today that the memory and SSD aren't upgradable... the more I look at it the more I dislike the way they have gone. I'm starting to think is should be referred to as a MacBook "Pro".
Not trying to start a debate, I just think as a pro user I would rather have the connections built in ready to use rather than additional adapters and no ability to install better components... damn shame.

She is old enough (just) to be your mother. I mean you can have her as a MILF but the price* goes up!
* To whatever the top end MBP RD costs...say £3.5K?
Use the AT&T one. The Verizon one is for CDMA connections, ie not us in the UK.
I've got the AT&T one on mine.

Does anyone know if they ever plan to update the 13" MBP with a retina screen?
I prefer the 13" form factor myself, even so the 15" version is very tempting...
