Realistic is that we spent 2200+ for this laptop and it's screen is more pathetic than my 1650x1050, 6 year old dell display. That I let it set for 30+ minutes without any IR.
Stop being a fanboy, I love apple but they screwed up here. This laptop is great but hugely flawed.
Anyway, mine is setting at home but I won't be able to test it out until tomorrow, or maybe later due to this **** hurricane.
I'm not being a fanboy. 'Hugely flawed' is, I think, an overstatement; but this is just my opinion, obviously.
It never ceases to amaze me how defensive people get when they are hysterical and others won't join in their hysteria. It's like a personal insult to them that anyone would try to have a level head about this issue.
Considering that the retina display is the MAIN selling point of this laptop, its a huge mistake that in some cases makes the LCD very subpar to my 1650x1050 that is 6 years old. Hugely flawed is an under-statement.
Its like selling a cell phone and advertising it as one, except the phone doesn't connect well to cellular networks.
This is a huge screw up by Apple, and believe me, i am a big apple fan since the iPod and mainly since my iPhone 3G. I have owned the 3G,4, and will be buying the 5. I had an iPod nano, i have an iPad 2. and this is my first mac. I want this computer because it is super nice, but it better work well.
I am not going crazy over this issue, seeing as i won't be able to get home and look at mine until tomorrow.
In reality, many of us are buying this computer for work. And a cra ppy screen is not good.
Accepting something from apple that is subpar is stupid.
I can go get a 900 PC with a screen that works better (may not exactly look better) but it will work better
so for my 2337 dollars (2.6/16gb/256) + 2 adapters It BETTER be good, especially 3 months later
