Every night I am reminded just how incredible the rMBP's display is

[Hungry&Foolish]

No doubt its an amazing display, a lot has been said. But what amazes me also is the battery life I am getting.

Unless all you're doing is reading text and running the 5-6 programs that are actually retina friendly, everything on the RMBP is fuzzy and blurry.

Well it's a good thing that I do a lot of text reading (software developer) and the few programs I do use (Safari, Transmission, MplayerX, Sublime Text 2, and Xcode) are Retina friendly.

1080p is not going away anytime soon.

1080p is a television standard.

rMBP uses a non-Standard computer resolution.

DVI was capable of doing 2560x1600 long before HDMI and 1080p.

I agree, I didn't say it was going away, hell Blu Rays with 1080P quality have been mainstream for 5 years nearly now and DVDs are still made and sold quite regularly. I'm just saying, it shows people the possible future for expansion.

I am waiting for a re-designed iMac, hopefully with a retina display, even though I just bought a retina mbp. I need both in my life.

As much as I'd like to swap my iMac for one with a retina display, my wallet is crying atm just thinking about it.

I'd like to know too.

It seems to be Battery Logger from App store. I need to try it as well.

What sucks about getting used to the rMBP is you start to hate anything else that's not a high-res display.

x2. After seeing the MBPr in the Apple Store, my 1080p 22'' monitor looked like garbage.

 

[nickbarbs]

why is it that i can't seem to get more than 4 hours of battery life on my rmbp? i have it set to integrated.. but it still drains quite quickly.

I'm waiting for a retina thunderbolt display. Between that and a rMBP, I would be in heaven.

Thanks!

I have battery logger. I am not seeing anything more than 3:30 - to 4:00 hours. Not bad, but not ~7hrs.

I've been amazed, too. I can hardly use an iMac, now. Running standard definition video on it is pretty lulzy, too. The box is so small hahaha!

Battery logger it is. For 1.99. And I am averaging consistently around 10 Hours.No flash, brightness to around 25%, Nothing intensive yet, just got it.
