Is a Macbook Pro Retina Display worth it?

For me, the rMBP was an upgrade from a mid-2007 white MB. So far, I am absolutely enjoying the rMBP because of the SSD and the screen. I never realized it earlier, but the speed of the SSD is putting the old MB's hard-drive to shame and the screen is definitely improved (in terms of clarity, crispness, and brightness). However, I do want to point out that very few apps have been updated to take advantage of the new screen.

Definitely worth it for me

That is of course not true. If that is the case then she makes way more money than me. I don't think a 12 year old makes more money than me. I am busting my ass of everyday and I only get like $1000 a month from which I need to pay rent, food and other necessities.

Obviously you're not doing it right...

I'm currently 18 and I started freelancing as a webdesigner about 3 years ago. After a rough start (for about an year or so) I was earning way more money than you do And that was like 2 years ago...

Rethink what you're doing and see where you do it wrong

Direct answer to OP's question, best computer I've own. Ditching iPad for quite some time now, and Mac Pro sits completely unused for almost 14 days
