I want my 12 inch macbook air with retina. The 11 inch I use 12 hours a day is nice, but getting a little beat up.

Just retired my 6 year old MBP and got a new one w a Retina display. It is fantastic. No Maggie’s or pixels visible anywhere. Not bad keeping a rugged laptop 6 years AND running the latest OS X Mavericks very successfully on it. That was amazing.

I bought the MacBook Air with retina then loaded it up with extra memory and upgraded color card. It is a terrific work of art for most uses. I drove me nuts that I had to return it back to Apple for a 100% refund.

I use a laptop for some heavy computing and with the NVidia card plus the nicely spec’d I7 CPU expected to speed along nicely. However, it turned out that Apple had detuned the I7 plus the NVidia was unavailable for computing because of a lack of OS-x operating system support by the software vendor. Bummer.... Now I am in a crappy Windows 8.1 system. Gimme my Windows 7 or XP any day over W8.1.
