I'm most likely going to buy one of these. My last Retina 15" 2.4ghz was nice but ran hot doing nothing, which sort of bugged me.

Is there any downside to this new one?

I don't game, and am not a power user.

What I'm not sure about, is with my last one I turned off graphic switching as I always had it plugged in, which probably caused some of the heat. Don't know
 
With quality integrated graphics and no dedicated GPU, it should be pretty cool running, and have excellent battery life.
