Is the new Retina Macbook the most beautiful notebook ever designed?

It's beautiful because it's new. I'm sure in 5 years time, it will look outdated.

i had one, loved it. but it got seriously hot, had a dim screen, no backlit keys (of course), and in modern terms, is old, slow. and that thing is heavy.

ahead of it's time in 2005? sure, and we'll be saying the same thing about the new macbook eventually...

Exactly, the rose-colored glasses are strong with some here!:cool:

The powerbook 17" 1.67ghz to me is the most beautifully designed notebook imo, and best built quality - still have one and use it for light tasks.

I've always preferred the design of the 1.33GHz 17" PowerBook personally, it puts the PowerBook 17" 1.67 GHz to shame. ;)
 
I have found a number of (valid) reasons to complain about the new rMB and to wait for a slimmed down pro or possibly ver. 2.

Currently own a MBA 2011 13 inch.

And yet I STILL find myself wanting the new rMB.

Damn you Apple..

Pretty funny. :) I don't think I have the same complaints you have, or maybe I don't feel as burdened by them ;) but your summary definitely resonates with me. Lots of misgivings...lots of desire to see what it can do and how it handles. :cool:
 
The new MacBook looks amazing but I also really love the new Dell XPS 13. Gorgeous.
 
Easily the most beautifully designed laptop.

I have a thing for these "small as can be" beautifully designed aluminum laptops. It's why I love the Air so much.
 
Nothing has ever beaten the tibook for me.

Sony Vaio SVZ was my favorite portable computer.

Thin, light, great screen and Quad Core processor!

Too bad they are no more. Idiotic pricing and availability on Sonys part killed it. (Not to mention the bottlenecked external graphics dock)

Soooooo close to perfection.
 
It is very sleek and lovely in its design, but the thing that impressed me the most was how capable it felt in testing one for almost a half an hour.

When Apple makes one with a larger screen, I may very well jump.

If the rMB is successful, which most of us will argue it is, a 13.3" model can't be that far behind.

Wouldn't that be something. And now that real-world Core M tests are coming out, it turns out it was the appropriate processor for the platform after all.

When the time comes, sign me up! I would trade my rMBP 13 for something like that in a heart beat. I'm sure I'm not the only one who bought an rMBP just for the retina display.

Agree (though I held off buying an rMBP.) :D
