So I just got the midrange 13 inch rMBP (2.4 GHz, 8 GB ram, 256 GB SSD) and I started to work with it like I would on my old early 2011 15 inch MBP. My old Macbook had an upgraded resolution of 1680x1050, so as soon as i got my new one, I set it to the same. I really like to have the extra space. Everything has been running smoothly except video. Streaming video to be exact. I have to say, I thought I would get similar performance to my 3 year old laptop...
I don't know if its been said here, but I'm having terrible performance from many websites that use adobe flash player. I don't really care about most of them, but I do care about VUDU. I can't watch a VUDU video without the audio and video being choppy.
I was thinking this performance was due to the fact that I had my macbook on a scaled resolution of 1680x1050. I lowered it down to the 'recommended' setting, and it helped a lot, but the video is still choppy every now and then.
I decided to try out iTunes. I streamed a few movies on iTunes on the scaled 1680x1050, and there was zero choppiness or audio breakup.
My question is: Is there a problem with flash and retina macbook pros? If its not a software problem, I can't see myself keeping this macbook. It just seems that it will be obsolete in two years.
Thanks,
