Hi guys

I just got my rMBP 2.3g with 16Gb ram. I know many people already said this BUT WOOOOW the screen is a true killer... SWAG! ;)

So I ran Geekbench and I get 10.977 - is that OK or should I get more?
I did complete software update. BlackMagic DST says 408/448. I think that's a great speed for the disks.

Is there anything else you guys would advise me to look for? Is there some "regular issues" with the rMBP that I should be aware of?

Btw i'm from Denmark so if there is some danes out there who would like to have some answers about this product feel free to ask. :)

Hej, er også fra Danmark. :)

Men i forhold til fejl i maskinen har jeg ikke rigtigt hørt om noget som er sådan typiske, at man støder på.
Jeg er dog stødt på en del indlæg som har handlet om såkaldt "ghosting" i det nye display, som du nok bør være opmærksom på. :)

Ejer ikke en selv, så kan ikke sige det med sikkerhed, men forhåbentlig er jeg selv en stolt ejer engang om et par uger!
 
Hey dér! :) Fedt der er flere danskere. Jeg svarer lige på engelsk, fordi jeg har bemærket nogle går virkelig amok når man ikke skriver engelsk. Tak for dit svar i øvrigt.

Yes - I know the issues about the screen. Some have dead pixels, ghosting, burning etc. The display was the first thing I checked out completely. I can't find anything wrong (yet) :) That's great! I just thought that there could be there was some regular issues that new buyers should be aware of.

I mean it is easier to go back to the shop within few days after the purchase than months after and say "HEY, THAT'S WRONG!" :)

I have the exact same config and my Geekbench using 32 bit mode was about the same as yours.
There does seem to be some screen corruption once and a while after waking the computer from sleep. Changing the screen resolution back and forth or restarting will fix it.
