I'm a space grey 'shop' toodon't mind the sprawl all over my high top table
That looks like a great wallpaper! Mind sharing?
I wonder if, does anybody use gigabit ethernet port with the New Macbook Retina? My wifi is not good in my bedroom and I like to download music, movies, etc.
Also, what do you do when you need to print some documents while your Retina Macbook is connected to an external display and a USB?
I think that most of the people in the site don't use cables.

Yep! Good eye

Finally got mine yesterday !! SG 1.2 This is a thing of beauty ! We also got a 1.1 Gold and I'm very impressed with the color, I like it a lot more than I thought I would.

It's beautiful. I've never had a computer tempt me like this rMB. What's wrong with me!?
Congrats on the purchase! I'd love to get your thoughts on the differences in performance between the 2 processors. Going off of benchmarks (not always a reliable measurement of real-world performance) the 1.2ghz shows a noticeable bump in performance.
The gold isn't going to be mine so I might not spend as much time with it, but I'll play around with it and get back to you on that. But as a first impression while I was restoring Time Machine backups and installing applications, the 1.2 does seem a bit snappier. Overall they are both a lot better than the people freaking out are making it out to be.
Exactly, people are just reacting to the "numbers" in reality the rMB is faster than many would think. The other Mac`s in Apple`s lineup have the big advantage when under sustained heavy workloads, the rMB will hit it`s thermal limits and throttle due to be passively cooled.

I'm convinced these are the same people that claim the iPhone is junk because it's internals aren't as powerful as Android's flagships.
The overwhelming majority of people don't use processor-heavy applications like FCP and PS, so this would be more than adequate. I think there needs to be re-education for the consumers as an upgrade to an SSD might show them the single biggest improvement in performance. People always get caught up on specs, when the user experience is what really matter.
