Is the retina 13 MBP ok as it is?

[wolfedude88]

Price is an issue for me, so as soon as the price drops were announced, I opted for a refurbished 13" rMBP base model for $1359. Couldn't be more happier. Small, light AND powerful.

Was that before or after taxes? Because this refurb is only 1,269 on Apple.com

Wound up with the 2.6 and 256 SSD but...

now considering the i7 3.0 or the base 15 rMBP.

My 13" 2009 MBP is on the ropes and i was considering the new rMBP or MBA, but i can wait until later this year for Haswell

At the moment without a dGPU the rMBP is a maybe, if it gets one in the refresh it would almost be a definite. The purported update of Haswells IGP isn't quite dramatic as a lot of people are hoping, i think.

Heres hoping Apple can squeeze a 640m or equivalent in there.

Anyone know if scrolling lag will be helped by the (hopefully soon) 10.8.3 release?
