2013 Haswell Retina MacBook Pro...

daz · 6 Nov 2013 at 15:10

I just went to "Display" options and then changed it to 'Scaled' and selected 'more space' (which apparently looks like 1680 x 1050, in terms of the size of text).

u can select a res higher then the retina res?

It doesn't change the res as such, more the appearance of the resolution. Personally I have it in retina mode most of the time, as software like photoshop and lightroom that I use is designed to work with it. Plus I find the 1680x1050 appearance to make text way too small for comfortable reading :rolleyes:

It's not given as an option in the settings menu but there are ways to make even the 15" rMBP run at 1 pixel = 1 point.

How does the 13" MBP look in scaled display mode (1440x900 say)? I'm interested in getting one, but worried I'd be losing usable screen area from my 13" Air, which is 1440x900 native, rather than 1280x800 (equivalent).

I use 1680x1050 and it seems like a really good res for this size, I feel even 1400x900 makes everything too big.

Haha 2880x1800 is insane

Since my old works mac (2010 pro) was unable to play a bluray movie without going into a stuttering frenzy, decided to see how the new one would cope :-)

It's fun watching the UPS tracking. I've not ordered from the Apple store before.

My MacBook is currently in flight somewhere from Korea. Where will it land? Nobody knows!

kazakhstan next!

Rilot · 7 Nov 2013 at 11:46

Yup. That's where it is.
Where next?

Germany then Stanstead and your local depot after that.

China > Korea > Kazakhstan > Poland > Germany > UK > Your House

Rilot · 7 Nov 2013 at 12:02

Sweet.
I should have ordered it on Monday rather than Tuesday like I did. I'd have it for the weekend then.

ruffneck · 7 Nov 2013 at 12:54

Ordered mine Tuesday night and its currently in Kazakhstan

Took my 13" 2.4/4GB/128GB back to the Apple store on Monday.

Got the 13" 2.4/8GB/256GB from Currys yesterday for £1199 as I used the £50 off O2 Priortiy Moments voucher

Apple just released a fix for the "freeze" problem.

Spit · 7 Nov 2013 at 20:45

I have got the update, says for a discrete graphics issue but I have Iris Pro only.

GTRacer · 7 Nov 2013 at 21:07

Returned mine due to pink tint on the right side of the screen which I noticed the second the start up screen came up. Waiting for my refund to come through, will probably order the 750m version since a 256GB Thunderbolt external SSD would put my BTO in the same ballpark price-wise. Was a lovely machine while I had it though, the Iris Pro lived up to my expectation that it would make for a very quiet and cool machine with some nice battery life. gfxCardStatus is going to be my friend again, which is good since it's apparently fixed in Mavericks.

perfect timing as i finally ordered teh 13inch 512gb 16gbram

I was tempted to go for the absolute best ie the 1tb version but i think that is overkill. £400 more!

ruffneck · 8 Nov 2013 at 09:58

mines out for delivery today!

excited much?
