I gave Windows 60Gb. Steam library is on an external USB3 drive.
Might need to do this, finding 256gb is not enough for a dedicated Windows partition along with all my work VMs lol.

It will be quieter. The dGPU is enabled permanently in Windows.
BootCamp installs drivers for the keyboard and ambient light sensor (next to the iSight camera).
Fn+F5/F6 alter the backlight brightness. The light sensor then automatically adjusts it from there.
A cross means it's disabled the backlight as it's plenty bright enough. Could be some sort of software snafu tho.
Are these things meant to get this hot ? I'm a bit concerned mine is faulty as it gets seriously hot. It gets far to hot to put on your lap.
Is this normal ? As it is an all metal case I suppose it is designed to use the case to conduct heat away....
Apart from that it's great...
Thinking about getting a 15" rMBP to replace my Mac Mini (so if I want to take the computer anywhere I can, if I want to hook it up to a bigger display and use it like a desktop I can).
I'm guessing it's probably a better idea in terms of value for money to go for a Refurb 2013 model over the new 2014 ones since the spec bump has been relatively modest, although I'd want the maxed out RAM (which generally means it has upgraded other stuff like storage and/or the GPU).
I had a dead pixel on mine whilst it was still covered by applecare (mid 2012 version rMBP), they said there has to be at least 2 dead pixels to warrant the replacement of the screen.I've noticed a dead pixel on my 15" rMBP.
I've booked an appointment for Saturday but how are Apple with this? Will they just swap the screen there and then? How long does it normally take?

I ended up dropping mine accidentally when the screen was open which led to the screen going incredibly wobbly, managed to get the screen replaced because of this, hence fixing the dead pixel. Would've cost circa £480 iirc otherwise.
my 13" Macbook pro retina 2.6ghz / 16gb / 256gb is enroute from Shanghai now according to UPS!
I need a few windows apps for work, am I better looking at parallels or fusion? Mainly office 2013 really, the mac version doesn't cut the mustard.
Also, what slip cases is everybody using?
