hello folks,
i'm looking to get a new laptop to replace my early 2011 i7 macbook pro 13 due to weight reason. i've been reading up on all the hype about the up coming 13 inch retina macbook pro and i must admit i'm quite excited about it every time i see news or discussions about it. i also have high expectation of apple quality and craftsmanship on their equipment, and my excitement for this new laptop has risen that expectation even more. but as we all understand high expectation standards can lead to some heavy disappointments when things doesn't turn out the way we hope it should be, and i have been through many situation like this before when i'm overly excited about a toy i'm going to get then later to find out that certain things in it doesn't work the way it should, and ended up doing all the run around to get exchange and after exchange. it's miserable and depressing. and when i finally get that ideal one i was like "you have no idea how much i paid for you and what i have to go through to get to you", and then i don't even want to touch it or look at it in a wrong way cause i'm afraid i might jinx it again. lol.
then i was reading through all the issues with the 15 rmbp, issues like about scroll stutter and not smooth enough here and there. oh, but don't forget what the hype and excitement is about here, its about the screen and the high price favor is for the screen. it's not just a laptop, its eye candy, and when it's doesn't perform its heart breaking. and the crash of that high expectation later feeds it. a buyer remorse!
i think we are all excited about it, but let's face the reality. laptop retina technology needs to mature more for better overall integration.
so what do you think? worth it to wait for the 13 inch retina and chance myself for an ideal one, or should i just get a new macbook air that has been well proven and developed.
sure, there's a hit and miss on the air as well, but i feel it is still a much lower rate of remorse than the 13 inch retina.
