Why I am hating the Retina MBP

[bobr1952]

I've gotten past those minor issues.

"Some elements look blurry sometimes"

vs

"My photos and videos look awesome, and I can work at 1920x1200 on a 4.6lb laptop. Oh, and play games on the road at reasonably good framerates, on a 4.6lb laptop!"

This is my favorite thing about the rMBP--the photos--simply stunning!

Yes but I wanted just to ask you WHY. Is this normal? Everyone claims this is the best computer Apple ever made. I do not understand why.

The text issue is not Apple based. It's non-optimized web pages from developers that haven't switched over yet.

That's strange. A cMBP has the same Retina hardware (just the HDD but it is replacable) but has half pixels. So it should be better with performance.

The GPU in the rMBP is overclocked; the one in the cMBP is not.
