Glad to hear you almost have it!
woohoo!!! It's here! Just did the setup and it's awesome.
It's weird though - I've waited so long for it to get here and while I'm excited, it just has not set in yet. Once I saw the homepage, I thought, that's it???
I have my Dell(typing from it right now) and MBP next to each other and the Dell screen is really bright and the MB screen is a bit greenish - I'm hoping that's just due to the wallpaper and I don't have one of the yellow screens.
I was at the Apple store last night playing with the rMBP for a good two hours. The Retina effect is certainly the most awesome your first time experiencing it, but it's definitely an amazing display.
I don't think so. I've talked to others here who went with the faster shipping option and it was also via UPS.
-MM.
You're right - I just stepped out and as I walked back in, I could see the brightness and crispness in the retina. Truth be told, my current dell is pretty badass in the screen department.
It is not the piece of ****** I felt it was - I might just spring the $50 for the new cover.
----------
My only complaint with MB is it's big! I'm wondering if 13 might be a good size because this almost feels like too much laptop.
In terms of power, is there a 13" that can go toe to toe with this one? I have the 2.6/16/1tb?
----------
this screen is so sharp it's blinding.
It is big, isn't it. You can get 16GB RAM and a 1TB SSD on the 13-inch, but it won't have a quad-core CPU or a dGPU. But it'll still be plenty fast. The 15-inch has more power than most people need. Do you do some hardcore video editing or something that requires a quad-core?
The 15" really is the ultimate laptop money can buy. But the 13" is a great option, too.
The Retina display is indeed awesome. And it's more than just Retina, it's an IPS panel. Everything about it is great.
Ooooooo, tomorrow might now be a possibility. Should hit the depot in plenty of time to get loaded into the delivery truck.

Where are you based?
Thats a bit of an effing joke!
I am in Oxford and just got mine at work. Now I need to kill 8 hoursbefore I can go home to turn it on!

I know. 2 days to get across the globe, 3 days whizzing round London in a bloody van!

you have my sympathy. My girlfriends rMBP was on the same planes, (UPS said it should come on monday) but we got it yesterday! (but Graz/Austria is a bit smaller than london ^^)
Mine didn't say out for delivery, but apparently it was. If you call UPS, they have a more updated tracker - although they say ups.com is most updated.
You should have yours soon, but I do live 5 minutes from the warehouse.
