Typing from a 13 rMBP purchased today. Hopefully its an upgrade from my 2010 mba 13" but from the sounds of this review I'll probably be returning mine too in a few weeks, as I have a similar workload as the author. Thanks for writing the review.
- kylec 14y agoI think the author's primary complaint was that it wasn't worth the premium; if you've already bought it, haven't you already made that decision? Yes, it's not completely smooth scrolling The Verge (something that, as a Verge reader, I didn't even notice until it was pointed out), but personally I'd rather have that amazing screen for looking at text and photos and watching videos instead of having 60fps scrolling on a 1440x900 screen.

- kylec 14y agoSure, I was just picking a few generic examples, but there's lots of "pro" stuff that doesn't need a super beefy GPU - developing software, editing audio and images, etc.

- robryan 14y agoScrolling issues seem more like a software issue, sure there are a lot of pixels to move around but the retina stuff is pretty new. I doubt that the software is at the limit of what the hardware can do.
