[QUOTE="familychoice, post: 1438001, member: 261678"] Thanks, I wanted to see the Retina machine before making a decision, as I thought after seeing one it would make going back to a non-retina screen impossible. That wasn't the case for me - they were just different. In my case the important bit is the OS, and so the better screen of the retina was outweighed by missing hardware options and cost. I have been slightly worried about some of the comments on here regarding the standard model, I didn't want to be choosing a machine that would be out of date as soon as I'd bought it, but it didn't feel like the poor cousin when I tried it in the shop. It's still a cracking machine that provides a different set of options for those that need them. If money was no object I'd get a top of the range retina and all the external hardware I needed - unfortunately I'm not that rich! [/QUOTE]
