Who here has a perfect rMBP with no issues and didn't return so far.

I suspect that those with a perfectly fine rMBP are probably enjoying it rather than browsing the forums looking for an outlet to declare how wonderful their new purchase is.
People typically go on the Internet to complain not praise a product.

Just received mine. A fair few scratched on the top lid, which is not subjective. A scratch is a scratch. The screen seem quite dull too - has anyone found a decent profile to change this?
Apple is replacing it...
It's kinda weird that to use notification centre, you have to touch the aluminium, then the trackpad... It's great though and I can't believe how thin and light it is
Hopefully the replacement will be perfect.

Aluminium heheh. You guys still crack me up. In a good way
Because it scratches? If they took more care then there wouldn't be any scratches... I know that once they are there, they are there but I got 2 years with a 2010 model before I scratched it. And that was only when I cleaned it. How ironic!
No, because of the way your pronounce Aluminum.
They don't scratch easily, in fact, I have never scratched any of my iphones, ipads, Macbooks or Macbook Pros after years of using them.
They are clearly banging these parts around with other metal tools during production to scratch them that obviously.

Haha, I wondered that too! But yeah, if you take care of things, they don't scratch. I'm just wondering whether or not to get a skin like ZAGG make for the iPhone, but they are ugly shiny.
You got me. I worked hard, waited 2 weeks for my new Mac, only to scratch it when I receive it in perfect condition, to then ring apple and wait another 1 or 2 for a replacement.
Seriously, some people on this forum have major issues. I see you like to get compensation of out Apple (did you get that magic mouse after emailing Tim cook?) and I'll be sure not to bother replying to your own threads when you ask for help.
EDIT: A quick look through your posts shows that you had a iPad with tiny, tiny scratches... so you too returned it. What a hypocrite.

I'm in love with my new rMBP! Getting none of the problems people have been complaining about!!
Glad to hear, you, most people are enjoying their macs

You crack up when you read the correct spelling of Aluminium?
As a Brit, I have to say that both are correct but aluminum actually predates aluminium. http://chemistry.about.com/b/2012/05/20/aluminum-or-aluminium.htm
returned my first with samsung display and bad light leak, got the second with samsung display and still light leak. choose to have screen replaced at apple store. got an lg this time with light leak but its extremely minimal...no idea on image retention. it hasnt been visible yet on any of the backgrounds i like so im not worried about it.
I just tried to recreate it, and I couldn't I think it has something to do with how the sunlight was coming into my apartment.. I will keep everyone updated
Well two days ago I've received my Macbook Retina. And it was a day like christmas
The first thing I've checked was the screen with the terminal code. Great, LSN, Samsung. Then the dead pixel check. Great, nothing wrong. In addition no yellowish, no screen bleeding etc. Ok screen bledding a litte bit in a dark room with max. brightness. But this is normal.
I can say that I am absolut happy with this beautiful machine. Its not just the resolution. Also the really intensive colors. Absolutly breathtaking! I got the "cheapest" version and it runs very smooth. Well that was the best computer deal and the 1900€ (student price) was a good investment.
And its the first mac of my life and I can say: OS X is much better than windows
