I picked up a base model retina macbook pro at my local best buy today.
They got a handful of them in.. when I got there this afternoon, they had just finished setting up the display unit.
I wanted the 512GB model.. but the only one of those that they had was pre-sold..
I went and got lunch and thought about it.. and decided to go back for the 256GB..
I decided 2.3 vs 2.6 wasn't worth paying the extra money for and I could get by without the 512GB ssd since I hadn't come close to filling up my previous 256GB drive...
Pretty impressed with this thing so far.. and still surprised that best buy had them.
