Apple MacBook Pro with Retina Display user reviews

Cons Forced to max out computer at purchase due to apple making this one of the least upgradable computers ever. Memory is soldered on, battery is glued in, and no details on 3rd party upgrades for storage yet. on June 17, 2012 by javawolfpack  | Read full review

Cons Non-user upgradeable RAM. Flash storage will only be able to be upgraded when 3rd-party solutions hit the market. on June 13, 2012 by sinicle  | Read full review

Cons The lack of Ehernet adapter , needs more USBs. on June 14, 2012 by NotARandomGuy  | Read full review

Cons The ONLY thing keeping this from being a glowing 5-star review is the fact that many people, (including myself) are having a lot of problems with Image Retention on the new screens. on September 5, 2012 by Mathieu1322  | Read full review

Cons New mag safe: The connection is not as strong as its predecessor and thus easily falls off when using the MacBook while charging.
Not upgradeable: I don't fully understand Apple's reasoning behind such a decision. on July 4, 2012 by jjinalisoviejo  | Read full review

Cons battery sucks

Cons There's no user upgradable RAM, but I don't really care. on December 9, 2012 by Zach0411  | Read full review

Cons PRICE! Some apps are not yet optimized for the high resolution screen and look even worse than they normally would.. The largest setback for this system is still.... PRICE.... I bought it but this thing is NOT affordable by any means. Over $4000.00 on September 19, 2012 by thisisrandy81  | Read full review

Cons The RAM is soldered to the board, and the battery is glued to the case.
USB 3 does not always work properly.
Mountain Lion is a bit buggy.
Price (you get what you pay for though). on August 14, 2012 by ManBearPig1337  | Read full review

Cons No kensington lock port. I had to buy a separate kensington sticker lock that I attached to the rear. I'm ok with it, because it shows I'm serious about security, but others would find it to be a defacement of their computer. on August 8, 2012 by lyngenberry  | Read full review
