Have to agree with (most) of this
My Air is definately the best laptop I've ever had, but my custom-built Windows desktop still beats anything twice its price from Apple. Having used Windows systems for so many years the closed-off Mac system can be really frustrating sometimes..

Can't live without Bootcamp either! My Air really struggles with certain things on OSX which it handles with ease on Win 7.

This statement is factually false. There's some revisionist history going on there.

Anyway, enjoy your rMBP, smittten!

Traktor runs just as smooth on my Air using Windows, but the USB 3.0 issues are still there

20.01.2013		I have the same laptop minus retina (got mine in 2011)...spent $100 on Amazon and threw in 16gb ram.

I was always a windows guy..."my pc can do anything your mac can do, and for half the price"

Then I got my mac and I dread turning on my work laptop each day. The mac was just intuitive, the learning curve was a couple of days, if that...and it has a trackpad that you can actually use unlike the crap on windows laptops.

Congrats. Enjoy having a computer that just works. No need to mess with the settings constantly. No updates every week.

19.01.2013		My mbp retina was $1800 as a refurbished unit. I decided to get this one as ssd was a base requirement and with $350 off the retail price - nothing else made sense cost.-wise.

19.01.2013		I'm running bootcamp on my current 2012 13" cMBP. If you have any knowledge of windows installations its very easy, in fact, I believe it's easier than installing windows on x86 parts. Apple creates a driver package "bootcamp" to be run in windows once your done installing the OS. Its as simple as launching bootcamp from OSX, partitioning your OSX drive, reboot with Win7 USB stick, follow windows instructions and then install bootcamp driver package. Last but not least update windows and put some virus definition/firewall software on. Microsoft Security Essentials if you dont want to pay for anything!

I debated really hard on getting a Retina MBP but I couldn't justify the cost vrs. lack of upgrade in the future, all for a better screen. I currently have a 256gb OCZ Vertex 4 SSD boot drive and a OWC Optibay in the CD slot using the factory 750 gb HDD. All in all, I'm extremely happy with my choice, but, like others have said, once you see the Retina screen compared to the standard definition modle, you'll want the retina screen.

18.01.2013		Holy Jesus... The earth just shook. :eek:

Honestly, it's a nice platform and I use it at work. Multiple workspaces are where OSX beats windows in terms of work flow. Enjoy, embrace and keep a vmware version of windows 7 ready for when (and you will) need it.
