The tax holiday in Massachusetts this weekend has reignited my lust for a retina MBP, especially with no iMac upgrade in sight. But I would like to know how people are finding it with ML now. Does it still have problems with graphics lagging or battery life?
Absolutely NO lag, choppiness or any of the issues described ad nauseum by a handful of people. I took this video this morning, I think it's a pretty good test and doesn't show any lag, choppiness or any of the nonsense some people are talking about:

Take what people say around here with a bucket of salt. Some people have hidden agendas and axes to grind. You'll find threads about the RMBP hardware problems posted by people who have nothing factual to contribute and without any real experience with the product they are bashing. I can only speak for myself, and as you can clearly see, there are no issues. You have to wonder about people who are quick to post threads about problems when they don't even own the machine, and those who are quick to jump to conclusions without properly troubleshooting their own systems.
Mine is a 2.6/16/512 model.
I've been called names (most recently "idiotic"), accused of being a "troll" and a "fanboy" simply because I don't see any of the alleged performance issues described by some. The complaints center around two web sites - Facebook.com and theVerge.com as well as using Mission Control while switching spaces. I've done all of the above in my video with only beautiful, buttery smooth results, and all while playing three videos simultaneously - one in full-screen 1080p mode. You can't see any UI or scrolling choppiness or lag under this type of load.
