Question are people really going to be using these "at home" to watch 1080p movies, like full movies not youtube. I only ask because i have big TV's in my home. 65" plus, i don't think i would ever want to watch a movie, or Hulu Plus on it being i can just watch on my big TV on the wall. I would more want to browse the web WHILE watching a movie on it etc.
I had a macbook Pro retina a little while back and never watched a single movie on it. But I'm not a road warrior. I am strictly talking "AT HOME" use.
Being on the road or traveling, obviously different story.
I watch movies on my rMBP while at home all the time. I even rip Blu-rays to it.
