Just put the order in for the 15" Retina MBP, expected delivery 14-18th July though
Same as my brother. Crazy money!

Hadn't noticed that.
A machine with the newest ivy bridge processor 4GB RAM and a 128GB SSD?
hardly poverty - didn't know you needed quad core i7s for web surfing?
It performs faster on geek bench than a 2010 Mac Pro tower so .....

Yeah it's not bad, I'd probably go for the 8gig just because if it was me, handy for the VMs I run but then again would I be doing that on an 11inch Air anyway
One of those things, I have no need for one, but I want one.
Although combination of the new Ivybridge chip, ability for 8gig and the fact I'm now not using ethernet heavily for work as I was when I got my MBP is a 13inch Air the answer.
I'm away once a week with work and leave my own laptop at home as the 13inch isn't the lightest, coupled with my work machine and crap laptop bag that hardly has any room it's not worth the hassle. But an Air would make things easier.
Or I just buy an SSD for the MBP to speed it up.

They are quite pricey, went for the 2.7Ghz processor and 16Gb ram so opposite end of the poverty scale lol! Luckily I could take advantage of the Mrs' uni discount which helps some what, 15% off, £70 app voucher and 3 year warranty included!
Lol nice spec! I'll stick with my iMac
How did u get the £70 iTunes voucher? Did they send it to you? Also when you say you got apple care, was that you payi g £50. Only asking because my brother ordered his and I'm not to sure he knows about this lol

As Sym0n has stated it is some back to school offer thats on for students. I haven't received any of my items yet as it stated the 3-4 week wait for the Macbook and stated all the other items I ordered would come at the same time so I presume the £70 will come as a voucher with my order.
As for the apple care, you get 3 years repair (parts/labour) warranty as per the usual apple care free of charge, however you only get 1 year telephone support. You are able to pay an additional £60 for the telephone support to be extended to 3 years however if you wish.
I hope this helps!

There was an update for that this morning I think (I may have imagined this though). So far apart from the Facebook notification noise being hit an miss when it wants to play the sound I've chosen or Tri Tone I've not had any other problems and it seems really stable, obviously now everything will crash. Read about a few apps crashing on opening though.
Not had that problem with the app store either.

I'm wondering how Windows will handle the resolution of the new MBPs. I don't know about Windows 7, but my previous Microsoft experiences of high resolutions with small screens has been less than positive. I've had to use large system fonts, which is fine, but that often caused bugs in many programs.
Will retina MPB users have issues when running Windows?

Bootcamp doesn't really work at the moment (driver issues) and Windows 7 won't show the 2880 res. Windows 8 does however scale and works both ways

Maps doesn't work for me on iOS6 either.
The App Store Facebook thing is pretty annoying too.
Odd mine works a treat. Mighty impressed with it too
Interesting comparison between Google maps and Apple maps here, Apple maps looks really.. basic. It is to be hoped they do alot of work on them before they release iOS6.

I do still prefer Google Maps but Apple's version isn't too bad, just pissed that turn by turn hasn't come to the 4. I fully expect Google to release a maps app with every feature currently available to Android to the Store shortly.

Got ios6 installed on my 4 this afternoon and although ive not got all features available, so far it's great.
• maps is a big improvement, step by step guide is nice but can't wait or turn by turn when I upgrade.
• call reject and message is great and a feature I will use daily with work
• photo share option looks great and more of a finished product over the standard list it used to be
• do not disturb is a fantastic option for myself as a shift worker
• the light blue theme is a nice refreshing change
The only thing so far is; when texting, typing speed and clicking is laggy and out of sync. Anyone else found this or any other problems?
