Yeah, yesterday when I was reading your thread and I saw the comment about the Buyers Guide up top, so I went there and saw that. To me that just doesn't count. That was a VERY minor spec bump and a price drop for the 13". I'm in the market for the 15" and nothing worth talking about happened to the 15". There are some internal part replacements and the benefits of that are still not clear to me. 36 days my rear end. As far as I'm concerned the last 15" rMBP was released last June , some 279 days ago. Expect a 2nd generation in July or more likely August
That's almost half a year away.
Buy now.
IMO- You really only see an honest, real world difference if you wait at least 3 or 4 generations.
Just got back from Apple store.
I was in to check out the 13inch- but the 15 is something else!
I'm considering ditching my cinema display and going back to a simple laptop.
The 15 is very sweet.
I went back and forth between 3 machines:
I witnessed a slight lag on the 13inch, but none on the 15.
And no IR on either one.
Apple care should cover any serious IR (if it happens)
So if you're worried pay for the care (insurance)
I had a screen issue years ago and because I had Apple care- they gave me a brand new machine in exchange. I didn't even have to fight for it.
