So I currently have a mid 2012 macbook pro that I use for things like essays, projects, and general internet browsing.
Would the new rMBP be worth the upgrade? If so, why?

what are your specs on the 2012 mbp? I would say no save your money, pretty much you are using this for school.
No, it's the regular macbook pro.was it the retina model ?
2.5ghz Core i5
4gb ram
Intel HD 4000 graphics

LOL Apple is still selling your 3 yrs old computer
it is worth the upgrade better screen,much powerful integrated GPU and the battery life is much MUCH better
I came from a Late 2011 MBP (fully loaded /w 16 GB ram) to a Mid 2015 MBP (fully loaded.) Even though the CPU is only marginally faster the performance is still amazing. I benefit a lot from the PCIe SSD...
The more storage you get, the faster it gets. It's always that way with flash storageOh okay, thanks.
I mean I'm only going to be using it for internet related things and writing college papers and such.
If I were to get one I'd probably go for the 128gb version, rather than the 256gb version. Unless the 256gb version would be better? Most of my files would be stored on Google drive.
I wait for a Retina with proper cooling. That simple.
So no... Don't waste your money on a computer which is exactly so powerful that it can't cool itself !
I'm not expecting anything else than that it is able to cool itself.Not sure what you're expecting. Macs aren't for gaming. Opening 100 pictures at the same time can certainly tax the CPU and lead to high temperatures.
Maybe Apple is building computers that are perfectly fine and your expectiations are what need to be changed.

Opening 100 pictures is not the same as queuing 100 pictures in quick look CMD-Y (with file selection). It's a dead simple task.
Are you just a newbie lurker who decided to pop out suddenly?
Bring me an explanation to the quick look problem .. I will be waiting ..
Yeah. Because i reported it and you sure wouldn't ! Nothing wrong with Apple there! Oh nothing at all! Perfect products - adequate cooling!The QuickLook bug was already fixed in El Capitan.
Indeed cooling is adequate. I did a fairly lengthy 4K video render which took about 3 hours, but the temperatures were well within the safe ranges throughout (below 95ºC with fans at 6200rpm, temperature graphs obtained via Intel Power Gadget).Yeah.

It was throttling the whole time ffs. Only reason it did not hit 100cIndeed cooling is adequate.

Throttling is only considered to happen if it drops below the base frequency. Throughout the render, the freqs remained between 2.8-3.2GHz with all 4 cores active (i7-4960HQ). So throttling did not happen.It was throttling the whole time ffs. Only reason it did not hit 100c
