Is it worth just getting the souped up regular macbook pro instead? Do we have a comparison chart for the two of them?
Same here! I really really want it!Same here. I really want it
They received 5 RMBPs this afternoon but all were for store display only. They were setting up one when I was there but had none for sale.![]()
I'd say you're right about the demand for these things. I'm not worried that they'll sell out like the iPhones and iPads do. I mean, why only two for display?Sounds like B.S to me. Just wait a couple days an they'll have more than enough to accommodate consumer demand. It's price at $2200, it's not like the iPhone where everyone is going to flock out to get one at $600 or $200 on a contract.
They may have no idea, but I'll hold them to what they said. I'm going to the store tomorrow morning to check it out. Maybe I'll be one of the lucky few, or maybe I'll walk away with nothing... again.how does this sound to you? "We are getting 2 macbook pros for display, and may get more to sell"
....they have no idea![]()
In fairness I've waited 6 months, I can wait another 2 weeks, no real need to have it NOW. Just would have been nice
How did the screen look? Can you really tell a difference between normal screens at normal sitting distance?
From what I could tell screen was great. They were uploading software so I only was able to see a grey text screen but that alone was much better than any screen I have ever seen.
My conversation just now with an employee at my local Apple store:
Me: Do you have any of the retina display MacBook Pros?
Apple Guy: Not yet.
Me: When do you expect them?
Apple Guy: I think they said we're getting them on the 11th.
Me: Today is the 12th.
Apple Guy: Uhh.....well.....they're probably in the basement. They have lots of stuff they haven't unpacked down there.
Does Apple even tell these guys when they release new product?

Kudos! I've been waiting for the last 4 weeks and an extra 2 more weeks to wait. First thing I'll do when I unbox it is to lick it. Olivia Munn style!![]()
Just called the Apple Store, they got 2 in today and they are on display - im headed to go check it out now.
They said they are expecting shipment tomorrow morning and will have a limited quantity for sale.
Will post pictures if they're on display..
Dont know about licking it! Might not have the same effect. I just hope it arrives before I go away on holiday, otherwise it's about 6 weeks, ughhhh.
Does anyone know if there is a chance, that apple products ever arrive drastically before the estimate, so the estimate is just something for the to fall back on, or is it more or less certain that I wot have one for at least 2 weeks? I've only ever ordered stuff that ships within 24 hours !
