I looked into it when I ordered mine and it seemed that if you wanted the 8 gig of ram it needed to be ordered online. Took mine 9 days from ordering to delivery.

Can you make that image a tad smaller?

I went to Regent shop and they told me they only have base units. Thats why I ended up ordering on the web.

I think that's such a poor show - and their flagship store too. I've been in there a few times and the place is massive. Sadly the volume of space inside the store is equal to the space between the ears of the drones who work there.

I asked at the apple store in the Trafford Centre (Manchester) and they said the same, no custom units only the base models (so ordered online!)

To think I ordered last Sunday. :rolleyes:

Wow! I took an annual leave for tomorrow and then they deliver it today. :rolleyes:

I've heard a new 13" retina pro might be out around September/October. I was looking to get a 13" Air to take with me back to uni as I'm starting a masters this October. I really don't want to buy the Air and then the new retina pro comes out a month later...arghhh...

I really don't want to take my desktop up with me.

To me a MBP Retina is just a 15 inch air with high res screen.

So what you are saying is they will refresh the 13 in MBA with a high res screen which I can't really see happening anytime soon as the MBA was just refreshed.

Not when you see the performance comparisons. Don't forget the Pro has a quad core CPU for starters, and the discrete GPU.

There have been reports on the net that there will be a 13" MacBook Pro with Retina display coming out around September/October. Since the optical drive will be binned I'd imagine they will add an NVIDIA dedicated GPU to power the retina display. That what I hate about the current 13" is pro is the lack of graphics horsepower and the low res screen, hence the original decision to get the air (no graphics but higher res screen and a lot lighter).
