I have only 5 days left. If apple doesn't release it before Tuesday, I just cannot test anything.

Apple will most likely not release the update by Tuesdy: they just seeded it to developers on Monday and they tend to release update on Wednesdys to Fridays. But they could! Good luck with your hard choice!
 
I'm screwed lol

A question: is boot camp working with windows 7? I heard there are not retina drivers yet.
 
Do you think a man can downgrade from retina to high res matte? Is it acceptable? LOL

this Asus is pretty appealing thou! I mean. Same specs but 1.000$ less! And it seems to have better cooling system and audio. And a 1080p panel so it should be good quite as the retina.

While the hi-res is a lower res than the retina, it is also in a larger screen, resulting in a less sharp screen with worse colors than the IPS retina display. However, the matte screen is surrounded by a silver bezel (like the MBA), which is not the prettiet kind of bezel.

As far as the Asus goes, it is nice computer; just know that it has downsides too and you will have to make compromises.
 
I'm thinking about keeping the retina.
But I'm scared about how slow it'll be in 2 years if it lags with its native OS :S

Keep your fingers crossed that Apple will fix it soon with software updates that carry improved graphic drivers.
