Engadget Retina Macbook Pro Review

The one thing that would make me buy this machine is the screen. But in apples usual "we know better than you" attitude they don't allow you to run the os at native resolution without scaleing. This is a huge deal breaker for me and is the one thing that is turning me off this machine.

What I'm wondering about is how that Retina screen handles in Boot Camp Windows. I haven't seen any reviews that discuss that, and that's going to make or break things for me.

Wow, that was fast! Great review (considering the short timespan). Seems like a great machine. But, beeing used to a Macbook Air, I don't want anything more heavy. I better avoid seeing that screen...

I bought one the day they came out, I really just needed a faster machine with more hard drive space. I currently use an AIR with 120gb SSD and I have to constantly keep deleting files to free HD space. The 4GB of ram I have also wasn't cutting it. So I went with the 500gb SSD and 16GB of ram in the Retina MBP. Expensive, yes, but I think it is a great machine and I spend 40+ hours a week on the thing and run my businesses through it so it's an expensive I'm willing to make.<p>I also do a lot of design work so the Retina display seems like it will be worth it.<p>The only thing I wasnt sure about was that it will be heavier and seem larger than my air, but 80% of the time it sits on my desk anyway... We'll see what happens when it gets here next week!

Seems the anti-glare/glare issue has been turned into some kind of compromise. I don't think I'll be able to get this.

the review says almost nothing about apple's claim that they've reduced glare by 75%. considering there's no matte option, this is a crucial point i need answered before considering one. otherwise i may need to go with the old heavier model (w/ matte screen of course).
