I waited last summer for the new rMbp, it was released in October 2013. Didn't pull the trigger since I wanted read reviews from those who rushed to buy one. Then read those release wasn't much of a jump improvement from the pervious series ( just longer battery life? Also have had screen issues, now has been fixed), I'm about to go to the store this week however...... According to the Mac Rumors, it says Don't buy.....
