"Just purchased this laptop: best I've ever owned."
on by bmmayhewPros Screen is gorgeous. SSD makes this laptop extraordinarily fast. Owned an SSD Lenovo prior to my MacBook and there is no comparison. Coming from a series of windows-based laptops, the security is top notch but not intrusive to my day-to-day use.
Cons Had to buy Office for Mac software (in addition to Pages, Numbers, etc) because of my work documents. Lack of DVD/CD drive is a drag but much of what my data is already digital and this will only continue to be the case going forward.
Summary Overall, best laptop I've ever owned. The speed, screen resolution, security and battery life are tremendous. I am a heavy user and this laptop handles it and then some. Added bonus is the ability to sync across my phone, tablet and laptop.

"An all around great computer."
on by jjrskPros Battery life
Display
Dual thunderbolts
Usb on both sides (For a right handed mouse)
It is light!
Amazingly fast
HDMICons Price (It went down to a more affordable $1499)
Base storage (Nothing a hard drive can't fix)Summary Okay... I admite there is some flaws, everything has flaws, but it is nothing that you cannot fix. A simple hard drive or a flash drive does make the problem go away. If only the terabyte flash drive was cheap! If you are looking for a work computer for school or work this is perfect. Gamers find it less appealing, but they still like the computer for non-gaming tasks. It is also a great computer for the movie industry because of it's display and features. It does look kind of look like a macbook air, but I like the look. It is sharp, and unlike my old computers has never over heated (Don't take my word, I have not played and heavy duty games or programs yet, but I bet it can easily handle it). Overall an amazing computer.

"Absolutely amazing."

Battery life
PerformanceCons Pretty expensive... okay... really really really really expensive.
Summary I can run as many applications as I want with no drops in performance. I love the track pad gestures and dictation. Screen and speakers are great for media, Also love AirPlay. If you can afford it, it is well worth it if you need to run many intense applications. Its also my first Apple computer, and it has exceeded all of my expectations.

"Do yourself a favor and Avoid buying this computer!"
on by frogimo99Pros USB port on both sides of the computer (did not have this on my old one).
Retina is really nice.Cons Not enough GB! (Less than my old white MacBook, which means i could not back up all my documents) I do not understand how this computer can be called a MacBook "PRO"!
Way too heavy for not having a CD player
Way too pricy for what it's worth!Summary I have only had troubles with this computer since I first opened its package.
I only regret buying because I have to use it everyday and when I look at it, it just reminds me of everything I have had to go through.
I would have never thought i would miss my old white MacBook.
There are more CONS than PROS, just remember not to buy this computer, you would be better off with a MacBook Air! -
"Awesome battery life, fantastic screen, super fast."
on by sdjkfjdjfjsafdjsjPros Love the 6 hour battery life. Everyone else at Starbucks is scrambling to find power outlets. I don't even bring my power adapter with me anymore.
SSD is very fast.
Screen is absolutely amazing. Crisp text with zero pixelation. Awesome machine.Cons Only two USB 3.0 ports. Would like one more.
Summary Best machine I've ever owned. The combination of ultra fast performance, 6 hour battery life, and amazingly sharp and clear screen can't be beat.
