Nevermind.
It appears they were taken out of all MBP ... Not just the Retina MBPs.
You don't have to buy the Retina.
You could always buy the legacy models.
I'm aware of that, I liked being able to just click the button if my laptop was closed and check.
In 5 years I've never used the indicator. This thread actually reminded it was there.
Of all the crap to complain about, how about the fact you won't be able to upgrade your macs one day?
Little things like this are what IMO set the Mac apart.
Another 2 small things I'll miss:-
1) IR port for Apple remote
2) Kensington lock slot
All small things, but annoying nonetheless..
Advice like this is basically never useful, because it ignores the fact that there are reasons to prefer the Retina.
FWIW, I personally don't much care about the battery lights, but I liked them as a matter of principle, and I hate seeing features removed left and right.
Not to be rude but that's just inane babble.
There are reasons to prefer any model over the other. In this case, battery indicator lights are a reason to prefer the legacy over the retina model.
Some people want a stock Ethernet port and that is a reason to prefer the legacy over the retina.
My advice was straightforward ... You have options, no one is forcing you to buy a retina model. Make a list of pros and cons and buy the device that comes out on top.
This isn't an advice thread, I asked if anyone was going to miss the indicator not about your advice or about pros and cons. The indicator isn't a deal breaker it's just something I liked that the MacBook pro line had over the air and the fact that the retina model got rid of it just made me feel a slight disappointment, not enough where I'd bash the machine over it.
