looking hard at the 2.3ghz retina model with 256gb flash drive. I doubt the upgrade to 2.6ghz/500gb flash drive is worth the extra buxx.

Will likely pull the trigger later today after scoping some review talk.

This is obviously them testing the market with the retina display.  I'll probably wait until they introduce that to their lower-end laptops.  I'm getting a new laptop after I graduate and I really don't think I can afford a 2500 dollar investment.  Maaaaaybe five hundred less.

But sweet Jesus that display.  Also ios 6 sounds awesome.

was unable to tempt the wife into a retina MBP...she needs it in part for her website work so she said she needs to be able to see web pages 'like normal people do'. Dirtperson :lol

So she got a 2.9ghz/8gb mem 13" MBP and I got the Retina MBP. I work from home, so been wanting something that will let me move around. The sad part is that the Windows machine I remote into probably doesn't even support that high a resolution :'(

apparently the laptop is using a 650m? at that resolution it's probably more for keeping up than games, unless you lower the res or output it.

People actually use Siri?

I use it to record notes/task and set alarm clocks.  If speech-to-text is considered siri, I use that too from time to time.

I wasn't expecting Retina, but 13 inch Macbook Pro still with a 1280x800 display is embarrassing.

1st run Mac hardware typically has some sort of issue. I'm betting the Retina MBP will cause eye cancer or something.

oh god, find me computer hardware that DOESN'T have some kind of issue or STFU already

We know these things about new Macs -
1) they'll be expensive
2) they won't be the fastest on the market
3) they'll be the best-built and prettiest on the market
4) millions of people will buy them and talk about any minor fault with them, making it seem like a big deal. The few thousand people who get the same Dell build you got will also find probs at a similar rate but it won't seem like such a big deal 'cause there are only a few thousand of them

I learned the hard way that unless you get on that shit immediately, it is back-ordered (2-3 weeks for mine, although I ordered within a few hours of the announcement).

Also -

1) it's not gonna get any cheaper
2) the specs aren't gonna change for a year so may as well start using it ASAP

I'm pretty sure very few people actually upgrade EVERY year, or at least not everything they own (phone, tablet, notebook, desktop...). I didn't even own a notebook before this, and my wife only got one because a 5 yr old MacBook in her office was failing (battery completely dead).

MacBook Pro with Retina Display Teardown
Posted on: June 13, 2012 at 5:00am — By: Kyle

The new MacBook Pro with Retina Display is stunning. 0.71″ thick, super-fast processor, and 95 watt hours of battery life. It crams 5.1 million pixels—that’s one pixel for every resident of Singapore—into a 15.4″ screen.

But even though it packs lots of gee-whiz bells and whistles, we were thoroughly disappointed when we ventured inside. This is, to date, the least repairable laptop we’ve taken apart. Apple has packed all the things we hate into one beautiful little package.

Teardown highlights (if you can call them that):

- Just like in the iPhone 4/4S (and the MacBook Air), proprietary Pentalobe screws prevent folks from accessing the machine’s internals. That means you need a special screwdriver just to remove the bottom cover.
- As in the MacBook Air, the RAM is soldered to the logic board. Max out at 16GB now, or forever hold your peace—you can’t upgrade.
- The proprietary SSD isn’t upgradeable either (yet), as it is similar but not identical to the one in the Air. It is a separate daughtercard, and we’re hopeful we can offer an upgrade in the near future.
- The lithium-polymer battery is glued rather than screwed into the case, which increases the chances that it’ll break during disassembly. The battery also covers the trackpad cable, which tremendously increases the chance that a user will shear the cable in the battery removal process.
- The display assembly is completely fused, and there’s no glass protecting it. If anything ever fails inside the display, you will need to replace the entire (extremely expensive) assembly.
