I need the reviews to push this thing to the limit and see how the processor and graphics hold up. Also, Apple doesn't offer it, but its it possible to up the ram and put in the chip if you need to in a couple years?

Is the 13" Retina Mac great even without the graphics? Any issues?

The uniformed, un-researched consumer loses again.

I just tried to price what I want. The HD increase to 256 is $300 bucks and you can't bump the RAM past 8 gigs.

Now I totally agree, but here's the deal breaker- if it gets broken or a little too scratched and nicked for my tastes, can I count on you to give me $750 for a new one?

Honestly, I think they should wait til next year. Maybe its a bit late now, but they've had people finally able to buy the phone on Sprint and Verizon and if they just got it 5 months ago, wait.

Very well written.

Guess the time has finally arrived. I feel bad for the people who are going to lose their jobs and those who already have but they (the company, not individual employees) did it to themselves and hardly put up a fight.

I've been with the iPhone since the first one in late summer 2007. So the RAZR

I need that 13" and I'm irritated I have to wait to October for it. You'd think they would put it out before all the college kids buy something else.

When did Apple stop being the underdog? I remember when big opening numbers meant something and huge lines around stores made people say "wow!" but now its just expected, "okay....again."

My 4 year old brother has one. It's the new jr. video game system. This is what happens when they know how to use an iPhone at age 2 and take whoever's iPad is nearby and play whatever they want. Give them a sturdy case, screen protector, and all is well.

Yes but its the only other tablet to do anything impressive so the others shouldn't be there. Even by that token, it isn't a "leading tablet"

OMGah, Apple is totally pushing the gay agenda and infringing upon traditional American beliefs. This is what happens when queerosexuals take over. I'm voting Microsoft. Oh mah gah. *clutches pears*

"Other leading tablets..." That made me laugh.

My rank of Bonds: Sean Connery> Daniel Craig (QoS was horrible though) > Piece Brosnan (some of his movies were meh/ridiculous) > Roger Moore (too damn PG)... Dalton really doesn't count.

Quantum of Solace sucked donkey balls but CR is one of the best films in the franchise.

That's a great point actually. For some people, its a deal breaker.

I want one device with me whether I use it or not. That's why I don't have an iPod anymore or carry a digital camera all the time. I seldom use the disk, but if I wanna watch or install something, its there. If I find an album I love enough to buy, 9 times out of 10, I get the physical copy.

I'm against removing optical drives. If I want to watch a DVD or import a physical disk, I want that option. I'm not trying to totally live in iTunes and more so, pirate world.
