Who's Buying a New rMB Without Trying it Out

So your worried if 12 is 13?
Go to the Apple website and print the cut out templates for each and hold them at arms length relative to your lap. There is also a formula but its a little long:
2015 rMBPUIstutterlag - LGScreen(4XYellowRetention) / 1PortMCoreNoWay * OverPricediPadAir2 = (Result)
The divide the result by the price of the AWatch in Stainless with Stainless band.
One last thing, try super gluing a Kensington slim Keyboard to your iPad Air 2 set it down by your knees and see if you can identify at least 35 of the complaints or inexcusable issues with the new 2015 rMBP and the 15 pages of painfully obvious yet continuously repeated reasons why Macrumors "experts" think the new Macbook is a total ripoff.
All of this should give you some idea if 12 is indeed the new 13 along with a crap ton of cynical replies (like this particular post)

We are doing the same. My wife think the "gold" is a Rosie Pink

Don't be an idiot. What you can fit on the screen in terms of windows and size of text matters which is where resolution and changing the resolutions on both MBA and MB matters to me. I can't do that with a paper cut out, though I could probably make a working replica of the inside of your head with a paper cut out.
my head is empty, nothing to see there. Sorry my post was meant for someone else.
I do!!! I am used to my 2010 11" MBA.
Give me 2013 MBA performance and I will be one happy camper!

Have you ever considers being a stand up comedian? I couldn't stiop chuckling from your reply. We need to laugh at this whole thing a little bit more. It is almost too serious sometimes.
I'm a big rMB optimist, but "beast" might be a stretch???
Ya, I'm a fan of the new rMB... but it's no "beast". It's a good machine for people who don't need a beast. For those who do, the pro line is probably a better choice. Even then - can a MacBook Pro really be called a "beast"? The MacPro maybe. But not a notebook. Apple Notebooks are more than adequate for most tasks. But not beasts.
I need more evidence that there is something special about the 1.3GHz chips. If they are more efficient (producing less heat per GHz) than the others then I will still buy the 1.3GHz, otherwise I'll get the 1.2Ghz.
I'm definitely going to get the larger SSD. That is a no-brained to me. Whoever uses the computer in the future, whether it be me or the person I sell it to, will one day appreciate the extra storage space.
Eh, just the fact that I use my Mac so much and it's my only computer makes it worth it for me to max it out...whether or not I actually use the performance increase. Just peace of mind, really.
But I'm not convinced that it will have a performance increase. If an application generates the same amount of heat you'll just reach the throttling temperature faster.
In PDF's case, I think the peace of mind issue he cited is all the reason that's needed. If I were coming at this from where he is, that would probably be my call, too. (FWIW...)
I may be convinced to get it anyways.
Money is not a problem (although I think it might be better to save for the inevitable Skylake upgrade).
At least, you're getting the most powerful model and you can always return it if it's bad.

That's kinda what I'm thinking. I'll probably go 1.2 and 512GB, and then I'll give that to my wife when the Skylake version comes.
That's kind of my thinking too. My wife might like it. She did think that my MBA 11" screen is too small, though.
I really want to purchase this macbook on 4/10, however I am not sure if it will play sims. I mostly will use the device to surf the net and read emails. However I knwo I will want to play games on the rMB from time to time.
I think we are hitting a plateau with storage. 256 and 512 seem the sweet spot with all the cloud options available. Not to mention $40 128GB Flash Drives. In 2 or 3 years, 512 may be excessive. *This does not apply to everyone of course.
It sounds like you are saying that drive size will stay the same or even become less in the future. I definitely don't see that happening.
Cloud data can't replace data that's on your computer entirely.
