Do you use your MBPr as your desktop?

[Freyqq]

No. This was originally a concern of mine but after doing the research of a Ph.D I found out that the head comes from the hinge so does not touch the screen.

After reading the wiki page of the law of thermodynamics, I learned that heat spreads across the entire top of the mbp

The games that are at 720 definitely run at 60 FPS. Also, Xbox One is getting updated to the same MHz as PS4 so it'll be almost as good as the PS4.

Dude are you serious? You are one lucky guy. I wish I could justify a nMP for Facebook

LOL. I'm picturing someone in the Apple store describing their needs as "something to check Facebook" and being sold a Mac Pro

Anyways, I just got a thunderbolt display yesterday (was using a 24" acer before) so I use my 2012 rMBP as a desktop connected to the thunderbolt when I'm home. Just got the Rain Design mStand as well yesterday, but contemplating returning it for a BookArc.

Genius: How can I help you today?

Rich looking customer: I'm looking for a computer that connect to the internet, I'm a socialite so I take my tweeting very seriously

Genius: I see, well we can't take any chances here. I suggest the octacore Mac Pro. It's right up your alley.

Rich looking customer: I see, I'll take 2.

Sounds nice but I don't plan to use my mid 2012 15" rMBP as desktop because I still have a windows 7 desktop PC for all of heavy work.

For people that do use it as a desktop, or regularly plug it into an external screen - do you leave the power plugged in?

If so - what is the heat like from the charger (heard the magsafe 2 can have heat problems?).

Is it not also harmful to the battery to do so? In terms of reducing the life of it.

I use it as a desktop, hooked up to a 27" cinema display.
It´s perfect for my use except from a relatively weak gaming performance. I don´t game as much as I used to, but if a new RMBP comes with the 850m I´ll gladly do the upgrade just to be able to play my favorite games.

I have an iMac but I rarely use it. I do everything on my rMBP.
