EAT it! :)

Lol I got 2 1200 Mk2s for the same price.

Rules:

Traded the ski, which was only bringing in offers of around 1k. I always loved these Blasters, tons of fun!

This will hold me for a while, and once I find something bigger without dropping a ton of cash, my wife will ride this.

Wow, well color me jealous. That's easily (in my opinion and for my desires) the best laptop in the world right now.

wow! wish I could get a house here for 20k that would not come with a 1000 used needles inside!

The SSD does the trick. I just added an SSD for the OS to my MBP, and it's night and day. It's about as snappy as the Retina as far as I can tell. Not anywhere near as fast for video rendering or anything like that, but for analyzing MRI data (which is what I've been doing as of late) I don't think it'd do any better.

i havent done any video stuff with it yet but it imported about 900 photos in 2 minutes over usb 3, but i think its mostly the ssd plus lots of ram that make it so fast

Pffft... is that all you got? I just imported 11,616 brain images in less than 4 minutes on USB 2.

(But they might have only been 200kb/image ;) - and by "might" I mean "yes")

Yeah, the RAM definitely helps, and yours has quadruple the video memory that mine does, I think. Definitely loads better for photo/video post-prod work.

And this is quickly digressing into complete computer-nerdiness. So... the Retina MBP is the awesome/sexiest. And let's leave it at that! Haha... :bow:

Really should. I'm a little surprised it doesn't exist already.

I have to honestly say that's not true. No one else puts the funds into R&D like Apple does.

[Herr Faust Schinken]

i love the light up keyboard never had that before

So much research goes into making those perfect rounded corners ;)

It really does. Same with the thumb scoop for the screen, the strength of the magnet to hold it down, the keyboard and trackpad...and that's just the outside.
