Has anyone run the new Mavericks release on the 2012 13" base rMBP at 1680x1050 yet? The smoothness really may be the deal-maker for me to upgrade from my 2013 base 13" MBA.
I'm not spending freaking $80 on a new power supply.
I want to run scaled also but on my 15 rMBP seems to lag in the UI on mavericks which is quite annoying
Weird...I run mine @ 1920x1200 scaled 100% of the time now---nothing, no lag, no frame drops, nothing---animations are smooth as silk....and this on the iGPU. I just went through the 'known perpetrators'. Facebook, Ars, TechCrunch and the like. Like silk!!! Pretty amazing performance....and my 15" has been on and running at about 75% brightness since 4:50am. It's 10:06am in my neck of the woods...38% battery remaining. I'm more than happy with this update and significantly less inclined to buy the 'new' model right away
For your info---mine is the 2012---2.7/16/768 machine. Love. It!
Looking very, VERY forward to the new Mac Pro though

What choice do you have?
Try eBay, though. You can find a genuine Apple power supply used for much cheaper.
Unfortunately, the UI animations are absolutely terrible in anything else than best for retina. The lag is just unbearable in scaled. Frankly, I wish I had stayed on ML. The machine was much more usable overall.
