So of course, literally an hour after voting "perfect" in this poll, I ended up with a problem....

My trackpad is stuck in the upper left corner. It just physically will not press down, and it has more give the further you move away from that corner.

I've had this computer for three weeks, have kept it in perfect condition, cleaning it everyday. The only thing that could have gotten under there would be cat hair, but from the look of it that corner of the trackpad is actually stuck in a higher position than the rest of the trackpad, which is worrying because it's almost as if something on the inside is swelling. I already had an appointment to get a screw tightened because of a creaking hinge (a very, very minor issue in my opinion), but now I'll have to get them to look at this too. I was so stoked about having gotten a perfect one on the first try (Samsung screen, no noticeable bleeding or dead pixels), but now I'm a little worried if I have to get a replacement outside the 14-day return window.

I'm on my 4th, and this one seems to be good. The first 3 were LG screens, and they all had image retention (not the checkerboard test, just normal usage would show image retention). The first one also had a nick in the aluminum out of the box, and the 3rd was creaky. The current Samsung appears to be good: no backlight bleed, dead pixels, image retention, good whites to my eye, no creaking. Hopefully, nothing will crop up after my 14 day return period. :)
 
Uh... yes, I do.

but as others have noted, this is not a good sample of those who own the rMBP. This sample is heavily biased toward those with problems, given the nature of this site. So, for these types of forums, 75% is pretty good, imho.
