Post pics of your rMB in the wild!

Here's my 1.2 GHz rMB, driving my LG 34UC97 34" display (at native 3440 x 1440 resolution, even!). The LG is displaying a full-screen Windows 8.1 Parallels VM session. This little machine continues to impress me.

That is a gorgeous screen! So, no problems with lag due to being driven by the diminutive MacBook? And what connector are you using, HDMI? or MiniDisplayport?

It's actually surprisingly smooth. I haven't noticed any lag on the external display. I'm driving it over HDMI, at 3440x1400 @ 50 Hz - no problems at all.

Nice pic!
I really like the gold, and was torn. I just wanted something different from the traditional silver color. I ended up with space gray. And when the light hits the space gray at the right angle, it actually looks gold. How are you liking yours so far?

I was debating between the space grey and gold; I did the same with the iPhone 6+ and ending up getting space grey, I now wish I'd picked up the gold. Therefore, I decided to go for the gold. I'm surprised at how nice the gold is, I thought it was going to be a bit more gaudy in real life, but it's a really nice rose gold-ish shade.

I'm loving it so far! Coming from a 13" rMBP, I don't notice any significant decrease in performance and honestly, unless I were using them side by side, I wouldn't notice the slightly smaller screen. I'm really impressed by the speaker, like wow! It's one of the best speakers I've ever heard on a laptop.

As for the keyboard, after a few days os use, I'm totally used to it. I think it's made my typing more accurate and it's definitely increased my speed (I did a typing test on both laptops; 80WPM on the rMBP, 90WPM on the rMB).

Hi guys,

Just picked up a 1.2 Space Gray today. Love it so far - I'm personally curious to see how it will stand up editing photos and doing some light graphic design. Performance for the OS otherwise is just fine (email, web, etc.) Photos taken with a FujiFilm XT1 + 35mm f/1.4 lens.

Also, this trackpad is pure sorcery.

Yep, it's thin.

rMBP - a beast in comparison!
